I am getting a new laptop. I have had the pleasure of using a very similar model on Windows 10 for a few years and very pleased with it. My only moan about the new laptop it is that it will come with Windows 11 already preinstalled but it will almost certainly be an old version of Windows 11. I...

I have been given the opportunity of purchasing a new Windows 11 computer that will need a lot of updates. On all my Windows 10 machines I have always had bitlocker disabled but understand that an update to Windows 11 will automatically enable it on Windows 11 devices. At what stage does the...

Updated successfully a few minutes ago to version ending "58" , hope this version doesn't have any issues.

I am also stuck on end number "51", none of my six Windows machines a mixture of Windows 10 and 11 will update to "55". I have tried downloading Microsoft Edge from the Microsoft site, no difference. I also reverted my drive to the beginning of June and again it only gets as far as "51". I don't...

I recently purchased a new computer that runs Windows 10 but fully capable of running Windows 11. I have yet to make the change. According to Youtube, insiders running Windows 11 are getting a page from Microsoft saying a Microsoft Account will be mandatory in the future for users running...

Original poster here. I joined the forum because I wanted to pass my comments on Windows 11. I do not want to instal third party applications to make it look more like Windows 10 . I would have liked Windows 11 to be a game changer but so far the only major changes have been in the GUI. I have...

Despite getting a Windows 11 capable computer I am not going to instal it yet, possibly for years. I don't like the start menu (if it is that) in the middle of the screen, changes to the right click menu , changes to file explorer and the icons and thats just the start. What IMPROVEMENTS does...

Reality has set in , I won't be updating to windows 11 anytime soon. In addition to the above changes I cannot myself accept the changes to file explorer or the right click menu. As things stand I can't think of anything positive to say about Windows 11

In reply to NavyLCDR who says "But I am curious, why don't you want to just leave Secure Boot and TPM enabled?" Its because I don't think Aomei Backupper will boot into Aomei PE environment with secureboot enabled, and I do not want to try it with secureboot on ! On a webpage for Aomei "one...

For Christmas I got a new laptop and it passes all the tests and is shown as to be available in Windows Updates to upgrade to Windows 11. One of my questions is does Windows tell you BEFORE the start of the downloading procedure and installing whether a computer meets the standards, or does it...

Original poster here. I admit that using 12 machines may be unusual for some people but I liked collecting them and use them for different purposes. In the case of the Windows 7 machines some are used for browsing adult sites, some solely for my music collection and never get connected to the...

Microsoft is introducing Windows 11 with at the moment several prerequisites. If these are still insisted upon on first public release of Windows 11 I forsee and it is only me estimating. a quarter of a billion machines will become useless after Windows 10 support ends in 2025. This figure is...
