Is there a way to make my PC seemingly not support Windows 11 so the annoying update nags go away? I'll never use that shit OS.

Disable tpm in bios

A few of my boxes have 7th gen processors. I get the nags and then it comes up and says oh sorry you're not eligible.

You can set a registry value so that there is no upgrade to win 11, but I don't know if it only works on enterprise.

It's barely helpful as it resets most regular updates, just disable TMP in bios.

Use a CPU ISA that Microsoft refuses to compile Windows for.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Itanium? It's still supported well into 2025.

Good luck come October of next year when Windows 10 goes EOL

Personally I'm just treating Windows 11 as a 2025 kind of problem...

Ever more reason to switch to Linux sooner than later. Otherwise, Windows 10 LTSC or Pro for Workstation.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

I'm hoping for Windows 12. Just like I skipped from Win 7 straight to 10, 8 was completely unusable.

There's a long term support version for 10 as well, until 2029. That would be the alternative, if whatever successor they choose is as bad or worse.
