Do you believe Microsoft is going to rebrand Windows 10 to something else?

Poll closed May 30, 2021.
  1. Yes, "Windows 10" is already dated and getting long in the tooth.

  2. No chance, they are going to cling to the "Windows 10" brand for as long as they can.

  3. Meh... Don't care.

    TPM 2.0 as a requirement, useless and not cool!

    I'm getting that message in Windows Updates about not meeting minimum spec for the Dev channel but the health check app says everything is good to go. Are there different requirements for Insiders than there is for Windows 11 as a whole?

    Edit: just to add the PC I'm trying is a Surface Book 2, meets all the required specs including TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

    Windows 8 was a mistake. It resulted in tremendous losses to the computer industry. I don't think it was a scam, but I refused to use Windows 8 when it came out, for the same reasons that much of the world refused to use it. Going into all those reasons would be redundant. Windows 10 fixed much of that. But I didn't have to buy any new hardware to run Windows 10. I could just transition to Windows 10 with no hardware issues. I'm not seeing that with Windows 11.

    TPM 2.0 being mandatory should only be for Enterprise and maybe Education SKUs IMHO. Pro SKUs should warn that certain encryption options might not work. Home SKUs should not even check since they don't allow drive/device encryption anyway.

    I used DISM to mount the 21996.1 ISO and copied over the appraiserres.dll file with one from the latest MVS ISO. Then I reconstructed the Windows 11 ISO and it installed fine in a VM, but I don't know if this process will work on typical hardware. I also don't know if it will work with the forthcoming insider preview.

    Windows 8 is what happens when people in positions of power decide that Windows can take over the world if they get people addicted to a unified user experience that is awesome on a phone, tablet, laptop, PC and full on work station.

    They just made 1 small miscalculation.........People WANT a different user experience depending on the device they are using and use those devices are used to do completely different things.

    Other than installing it, and then paving over it with 7 and then later 10, I never touched it. I did use my left over 8 keys to install 10 though, so there's that I guess.
