Hi folks i saw this video in Utube about updating win 10 to win 11 in old PC not supported by Microsoft ,does this viable on my Lenovo thinkcentre 91P ?

 

If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.

Just install Linux when the time comes and be done with Microsoft's nonsense.

 

This may be another method, but for years, the "Rufus" app has been used to create a Windows 11 Bootable USB stick, where you can bypass the TPM, Processor, MS account... .

I agree with you, but have a few programs and win games that won't run on Linux ; I have 3 Lenovo thinkcentre M91 with Win 10 ,and also have 3 extra sata HDD with win 10 and I was thinking of updating them all to Win 11,

Thanks buddy; I 've used Rufus the other day to make an Ubuntu USB bootable. Do you know what's the setting i use to bypass TPM . If i do it while it's free upgrade will i have access to all auto updates for the future? . Also will i still have access to my microsoft account . I have 3 same Lenovo think centers M91 and have other 3 extra sata HDD with win 10 and I was thinking of updating them all to Win 11, .There's one think that i'm afraid is that if i have to do a Win11 clean will lose my licence?

 

I learned ,
bypassing the TPM requirement when upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11 does not guarantee access to all future updates and security patches. Microsoft may restrict updates to devices that meet the official hardware requirements, even if they are technically able to run Windows 11. Bypassing TPM could also lead to compatibility issues and potential malfunctions, and Microsoft may not provide support for such installations.

Which of the 12,345 "distros" would you recommend?

I like Debian. It's what Raspberry Pi and a now defunct SBC called C.H.I.P. ran. I've installed it on Win 10 so I can leverage learning on RPi.

May I ask, why is Windows 11 important to you?

It would be if i was able to get normal updates, but i've learned that it's not the case and will be in the situation of Win 10 and probably worse with no support updates from microsoft. I'm going to do a Linux Ubuntu install on another drive and when wins 10 gives me issues and will not run, just swap the HDD and be done with win .

Hello,

Here at home I am using OpenSuse Tumbleweed linux, with some extra respotories.
https://www.opensuse.org/
A lot of windows programs will run on linux using wine:
https://www.winehq.org/
Here is a compatibility list:

That sounds odd, a Windows 10 installation that no longer gets updates is nothing compared to what will happen if your try to "switch to" Linux, all of the software (including device "drivers") you have on Windows must be somehow found and installed on Linux and I don't see how you can do that robustly unless you have very little software installed.

Windows 10 goes out of support in October but so what? it will still run fine, so just carry on as is, running Widows 10. I have a Surface tablet running Windows 10 and its fine, I ignore the occasional prompts from Microsoft to upgrade, I just don't care about it.

Most users of Windows rarely get impacted by the incessant updates too, most of us couldn't care less about this and that update, they are often addressing corporate customers and unusual configurations too.

I can't see any good reason for even considering Linux, it is a mish mash of disparate, often poorly meshed bits and pieces and requires constant hand holding and care and attention for all but the most trivial use cases.

Hi, is this like your desktop machine? why do you use Linux for that role?

 

Linux Mint is more capable than Win 11 in finding drivers even for my old i7 with a new PCI-e SSD bot found in bios, but I still prefer my Win Apps.

I would still be running a very fast & stable Win 7 with updates disabled, if it wasn't for some App requirements.

If you might upgrade to Win11 I strongly suggest buy a 0.5T or 1T SSD with Win 11 on it and run "debloater" from web on PS1(admin) and use your own key. (kijiji or similar)

So I run with SATA SSD and swap to PCI-e SSD with more storage than I need. If you use the Win store and install winget you can run linux like PS1 shell > winget upgrade -all

It won't be getting security updates.

How often do they produce security updates for Linux?

 

Hello,

Every day I get updates for my linux system.
They include all programs in the updates.
Also regulary there is a new kernel with the updates.
There can be 10 updates, but also more than 1000.
The updates are in packages.

Bertus

 

Problem virus and malware is 99% more bound to show in Win than in Linux

 

Call me a sucker if you want, but I intend to just pay MS's extortion fee to continue to get updates after October.

I live on the edge, testing packages before they become stable releases. I have Linux machines dedicated to testing to provide feedback to kernel devs and Linux apps devs that I use
