Microsoft now allowing Windows 11 on older, incompatible PCs
Despite years of warning, it's now officially possible to install Windows 11 on PCs that don't meet requirements — but with a warning and a disclaimer.

I don't think anyone threw his/her PC just because s/he couldn't install win 11. They may have bought a new one, but I don't think anyone threw away a working PC with a working OS which is still within it's life time. (Again I think)So what about the millions of PCs that have been unnecessarily thrown away?
Can you name any organization that do something which is not to their benefit? People keep blaming MS, but I believe all are the same.Let's face it, it is not often MS do something that is not to their benefit is it?
Absolutely different now. Specially with Windows 11. This morning, I updated one of our machines to win 11 within 30 minutes. And it took another hour to automatically download and install all necessary drivers for the connected devices.because of the huge amount of time updates required and wasted. But maybe different now, or maybe not?
Win 7 isn't supported by MS (No more security updates) and Win 10 is nearing EOLI'm sorry I didn't wipe the HD and install Win 7 or 10 and go from there.
bottles
, also see the article below. I use bottles
to successfully run some Windows games. I have not used it yet for programs such as Turbotax. One of these days I'll get around to testing whether bottles
can handle Turbotax. Tax season after all is coming-up. I say thank God!I couldn't find a replacement copy of 8.1
Win 8 was the absolute worst of the worst versions of Windows ever released.
I'm still running windows 10 on both of mine.Given that my laptop is still running Windows 7 and Office 2003 there is normally no need to upgrade just because MS tells you to!
Agreed but version 8.1 worked well. The worst version was Windows Millennium!Win 8 was the absolute worst of the worst versions of Windows ever released.
