I have a rig with Windows 10, and haven't upgraded because.. Microsoft arbitrarily say my CPU is unsupported, even though it meets all the criteria.

Bypassing takes a click if you download the reg files (there's an install version and an upgrade version)

Or more clicks if you have to do it manually

My CPU is from 2013 running win11 perfectly fine and fast

That sounds like a lot of work for what seems to be a worse or at least 'meh' experience.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not a lot of work, but enough to be annoying and feel irritating. They treat us like they're doing us a favor, when really they need us to use Windows 11 to enable their services to be profitable. It's annoying when companies make us jump through hoops to take our money

If you mean the speed is meh, I'm here to say that it's exactly as fast as win10 for me which is as fast as a cluttered heavy Linux system

Which is still fast for my CPU even tho it's 10yo

I siavled the TPM module so it’ll keep saying this. Can’t be forced into an upgrade if the cpu doesn’t seem to be supported

You also seem to have siavled your ability to spell

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That I have

Autocorrect can’t save me always, but it’s pretty damn good

This is the thing with my CPU. It has TPM, it's enabled, and the upgrade tool says that's fine. The installer doesn't make it clear what the issue is, it's like: Congrats, your CPU satisfies these three bullet points, but no, you still can't have Win 11.
