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.

    Thanks for that. I installed 21996.1 in vmware mbr/bios mode, then cloned / imaged the virtual hard drive, restored it to a rather old physical machine that would never pass the Win 11 ready check. Piece of cake, actually, and runs fine.

    (No tpm, no UEFI ,no secure boot, and a 3rd gen i5)

    I think you're right. I was looking at WikiChip. I swear I couldn't find any difference in Instruction Set which is sometimes the most obvious between different CPU Generations...
    Zen1 and Zen+ barely have differences, but I do wonder how they fare in this mitigation hellscape when compared to each other. Same goes for 7th Gen vs 8th Gen.

    Very interesting, though the easiest thing in the world for MS to itself bypass. Plus, if the CPU check (for future builds, not the leak) is real, what about that?

    BTW, how on earth is the file from 6 days ago? How were the requirements known before 2 days ago?

    Well, these requirements are known since we got leaked build, so, this trick can be 6 days old. It is possible due to leaked build.

    And I've just shared the information what was available.
    I have no idea about future cpu detection information.

    Oh, OK. For some reason, I thought the requirements weren't in effect for that build.

    Anyway, the two Registry entries, even after reboot (wasn't sure if that was needed), have somehow had no effect here against either the PC Health Check or WhyNotWin11.

    I guess they have no problem with people who can't afford new computers will either stick with Windows 10 or go to Linux all together.

    Their whole presentation on the 24th was how Windows 11 would be great and easy to use, doesn't seem like that was the truth.

    My motherboard has a TPM port, do I want to spend $100 to buy the chip on eBay? That's a whole new ballgame, the answer is no.

    Seems what they really want is people to go out and buy their computers.

    I'm sure that minds greater than mine will find a workaround.

    On ********** it says that you import it when you clean install the leak and boot from the ISO

    Microsoft just asked me for feedback on the leaked build LOL.
    Well, since I am an Insider... I promptly gave them the feedback.

    Well, This pretty much means they are treating 21996 as a public build now doesn't it?

    You can join Windows Insider Program and enter Dev channel straight form Windows 10. On Monday you should get update to Windows 11 insider build.. But your PC has to be supported.

    Did anyone try to enroll the Insider Program using OfflineInsiderEnroll instead of the official tool in Windows? Maybe that's a way to bypass the block to new builds in unsupported PCs!

    Yet another potential snake pit no one seems to be talking about is that Windows 11 Home users will be forced to login using a Microsoft account. It is not clear whether that requirement is just for the initial setup, or if it is going to be a permanent thing. Not being able to use one's computer if the internet is down or unavailable is kinda scary. I travel often to or through places that don't have internet. A close friend is often without internet for days at a time - the places he visits are that remote.
