I like that it's completely arbitrary and you can force windows 11 to install on unsupported hardware.
Also true.. Windows 10 EOL is just planned obsolensence
In one sense, I'm glad they put this stupid barrier up so that I don't have to keep deleting the forced upgrade as part of regular Windows Updates like I did with Win10, but on the other hand it's bullshit that they're creating so much waste for no other reason than personal profit for their company.
Daily driving an unofficial windows mod is not a very good idea. For both privacy and stability reasons.
You just need to set a couple of registry bypasses and you can upgrade any Computer to Windows 11. Downside is that some security features won't work, but its not a big deal for consumers.
And what security features are these? Tpm? Lol.
