Everyone with old hardware is going to end up running Windows 11 in a vm with gpu passthrough just to emulate, tpm, secureboot, uefi and cpu-id.

Has microsoft even said why they need all this security stuff, besides making sure you are booting genuine windows are they adding drive encryption out of the box like apple?

Now you can be assured those dirty pirates arn't going to hack your game and throw it on piratebay. That is true, it also means working anti-cheat so there can be real benefits. I think microsoft is more concerned about corporate users, windows is the official crypto locker OS.

redeyes posted:Actually Im honestly questioning whether somehow people know more than what MS themselves publish AND with literally no history to know. I remain skeptical until proven wrong. Microsoft also said free upgrades from 7 to 10 would on July 29, 2016, yet it still works today. Even if windows update stopped working I doubt they would block downloading and installing the monthly cumulative update manually.

As far as I can tell win11 is win10 for activations.

If they actually did HCI testing and published white papers documenting how the changes were measurably better I'd begrudgingly accept it, but they don't.

I have some smart lights and would get more stuff, but I'd only go with stuff that has strong encryption and works without the internet so only apple homekit, open source or industrial.

They are just leaving the door open to resetting it under the cover of fixing a bug.

The only thing that’s really different is that the start menu is stuck in baby mode.

Another good way to install windows 11 is to use the enterprise trial, you can make a local account with hacks, the start menu is devoid of 3rd party apps and you can change it to pro after install.

Pretty sure the cheap keys are for poor counties. It’s not possible for Microsoft to enforce region checks with vpns and people legitimately moving between counties, also they don’t care because they pivoted to adware.

I see your  and raise. I install proxmox on a seperate nvme, then create a vm for windows using pcie passthough for its nvme and then reboot bare metal into windows with all my other drives untouched.

SpaceDrake posted:So as far as removing bloatware from a new Win11 install goes, is this blogpost still largely accurate? Are there more elegant ways to do it at this point, or is it still largely down to using PowerShell to cleanse with fire? Something I discovered that I haven't seen anywhere else. There is almost no bloatware if you install Enterprise then convert to Pro.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Where does one get the Enterprise ISO and how does one convert to Pro? Use the windows media creation tool to make an iso. mediacreationtool.exe /Eula Accept /Retail /MediaArch x64 /MediaLangCode en-US /MediaEdition Enterprise Enter the win 11 enterprise kms key NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 when prompted, its posted on microsoft.com After install go to activation and change your product key, it should change it to Pro* I haven't actually done this with a retail key, just kms. This also has the side benefit of bypassing the microsoft account.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:A friend and I were talking about this phenomenon recently. When Linux idles, it idles and doesn't do anything. When Windows idles, there's all kinds of bullshit running in the background that can make your computer chug even if it's a powerful system. Remember when some guy sped up gta online loading by 70% because he found the it was loading a 10MB json file and parsing and deduping it using the slowest algorithms imaginable. I'm pretty sure that's what windows is doing all the time with the registry.
