My senior mom almost got drat near taken in by one of those windows defender pushed pop-ups that say OMG BIG PROBLEMS a few months back. She uses FF with uBlock. I think she said she was looking for a user manual for her snowblower or something. Anyhow, she called and got as far letting them remote in and she got wise, turned her computer off and called me. She normally wouldn't have been taken in as I've drilled safe browsing pretty hard into her, but her husband passed a couple months earlier and was pretty frazzled and not entirely with it.

Windows 12 will be built with a foundation of AI, require a VR headset with haptic feedback controllers to ensure the full synergistic MS Windows experience.

I've got a several year old surface pro... I think 2017. It's running an i5-7300u w/8GB It is saying I can't run 11 through standard updates. I have 11 on a couple of other PCs and don't really mind it. Any practical downside to doing one of those "force 11" on it hacks?

Thanks guys. I think I'll do it over Christmas.kirbysuperstar posted:Yeah just install it anyway, use Rufus to make a USB and use its CPU bypass or whatever. I have the same Surface Pro and the only thing that's been an issue is that Windows update won't do the big builds like 22H2 on its own, but also once 11 is on there the media creation tool will happily update-install those versions without caring about the CPU requirement

It's running an i5-7300u w/8GB So going back to this old post, I downloaded the ISO and created a boot USB with Rufus as was recommended. I'm actually following the Explaining Computers how to.. I love this guys channel as I wanted to do this to the old Surface 5 this week. But, in doing so, I came across this guy, explaining how easy it is to do on unsupported hardware via mounting the ISO and running the Win 11 Server install via command line. Looks like you can do it in a way to do an upgrade and not lose your files and such. https://youtu.be/ug__CVQQQsc?si=QaDbfe9MnH7FoLsm I think I might give that a shot first. I am prepared to do a full nuke/install, but it would be nice if it didn't. Any reason not to try the upgrade method in the ^ link first?

Annath posted:Hey there. FWIW, I just did an upgrade in place a few days ago on my old Surface pro 5 (7 gen, unsupported even) and it was super smooth. Didn't lose anything, all files/apps there. Just needed to configure some aesthetics things and uninstall some 11 crap.

It was there and uninstallable. Also various other things I never use on that device, like office, other various bits of shovelware.

Not sure if this is a Win11 thing or a surface Pro thing, but if I turn on the surface, I get to the W11 login/password screen and if I don't enter something in like 15-30 sec, the screen goes black like it's sleep. Touching a key/touchpad instantly wakes it. I'd like it to stay on for a few minutes at least though. Is there a setting for this? I looked in the power management/screen saver settings and nothing seems to impact it.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I get that behavior on at least one of my W10 desktops, and if anything I think my Win11 laptops are a little better about giving me a loving second to actually log in. Actually, the one with Windows Hello is really nice about that, since it will look for me for a bit before deciding I didn't REALLY want to log in right now and gently caress off to black screen land. So any idea where the "setting" for this would be hidden? It's not the "sleep" setting or anything I can see in power management.

I have a work laptop (no admin privileges) and just crappy built in speakers. When I watch a multimedia presentation (like PowerPoint ) or video in a browser, full volume is not nearly loud enough, but I swear to God, opening a vid on LinkedIn the volume somehow goes up 400% louder than normal max and it sounds like I'm at a loving live concert.
