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

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

    Was this somehow not expected? It would make zero sense for them to push an update to someone's computer that they couldn't even run.
    I still suspect they will relax the requirements when they realize how few people are willing to buy a new computer for this os.

    it has nothing to do with mitigations.

    Everything to do with hardware partners wanting to make bank.

    ^ Nope.

    He is actually right, there were to many "workarounds" that MS had to draw a line and drop support for all those processors that have software fixes over the years.

    Also, there is new Intel Bridge Tech in newer CPUs which will help run emulated Android apps. I am pissed my i7-6820HQ processor is unsupported but it is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Im getting this "not capable to run Windows 11 preview" message because the win10 install was done using bios instead of uefi secure boot.

    There is an interesting passage about VM within the MS PDF:
    Hardware check seems to be bypassed if it's a VM.

    Which means the Hardware check is a lie and Microsoft needs a good old fashioned lawsuit to wake them up to their stupidity.

    You have absolutely no idea what the hardware can or can't do.

    Quit talking, kid.

    I have no idea what old computers I stopped using because newer ones run better do?

    At least say something that makes sense, kid.

    install Windows 11 in a VHD, because virtual instances will bypass hardware-compliance checks, wich was allready mentionend by you :) , then mount VHD as a bootable volume.. voila, works^^
    The one downside is that, obviously, the drive that hosts the VHDX drives can't be BitLocker encrypted. But at least you can still BitLocker encrypt the actual virtual drive itself if you would want to do that..

    :p

    21H2 Belong for the next RTM build, and the next RTM build is Windows 11.
    You can say 21H2 is 21390, but temporary. IP Builds not belong anymore to 21H1, 21H2, 22H1.MS can take new features from IP builds for the next stable Windows (RTM), but they not must.
