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

  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.

    You can also say:
    Windows 98 was just Windows 95 OSR2 with a new theme.
    Windows XP was just Windows 2000 with a new theme.
    Windows 7 was just Vista with a new theme.
    Windows 10 was just Windows 8.1 with a new theme.

    Those tools do run exactly the same command but provide the needed cab file and run the proper/correct code.

    For those of you running Windows 11 right now, can you please confirm if you can literally download and run any Android apk? That is the only reason I would consider upgrading right now.

    Since TPM can be bypassed, can secure boot requirement also be bypassed?

    Of course you can bypass it, but how it behaves on each build we're not sure.
    I remember win8 had a message at the bottom right of the screen that said secure boot wasn't enabled before they issued an update that disabled the message.
    Some people have said that activation needed secure boot but I am skeptical. I definitely don't think kms needs it. I can't imagine digital entitlement needs it.

    Hm. The only solution I can find to the free space issue so far is moving content off of the partition and reformatting it before copying back. Kind of a big issue.

    (And KMS definitely doesn't need secure boot...)

    Secure Boot with 21996 isn't required. I did a fresh install with both TPM and Secure Boot disabled, got the unsupported warning, enabled TPM (but kept SB off), and the installer proceeded fine. Post-install was fine too with SB still off, and also worked fine with disabling the TPM.

    What does the TPM do even with Windows? I can enable and disable it, and Windows will report whether it's on or not, but does Windows do anything passively with it to make it worthwhile to keep enabled? Or is it something you have to actively configure programs to use?

    Does DISM itself does these checks? If not, I guess that can be our option to bypass the checks and manually install the install.wim files for future versions :confused:.

    The only practical usage I've seen for the TPM is that it will automatically authenticate Bitlocker to allow for password-less startup of an encrypted boot drive. This makes the entire encryption process fully transparent to the operation of your PC. You'll still have to enter your windows credentials to login to the computer after bootup. I've had to enable a Group Policy setting to allow the use of a startup password on some older machines I've deployed Bitlocker with that were lacking a TPM.

    The setting is here: gpedit.msc > Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives

    “Require additional authentication at startup” > Enabled

    For some reason, the WhyNotWIn11 app also fails the disk partitioning test (didn't detect GPT partition) in my laptop

    Well your system wouldn't even be working if it didn't have both an efi partition and a msr partition. It likely is just bad at detecting them correctly because they are partitioned in a way it didn't expect.
