Hi Chaps,
I have three desktop systems and one laptop, all of which are technically not supported under Windows 11 (they only have TMP v1.2).
I've actually recently installed the latest Windows 11 on two of the desktops and they both work well and received the usual updates.
However, I'm concerned that Microsoft, in their wisdom, may crack-down on these sort of installs in the future, so I'm thinking it may be safer (from a software security point of view) to simply keep all of my systems on Windows 10 until supports ends (2025?), then jump ship to MacOS or Linux, after which I'd run any Windows-only apps in network-isolated virtual machines on whatever host OS I end up on...
The hardware I'm using still has plenty of life/processing-power, etc and I'm not planning on upgrading any time soon, certainly not until well after the current EOL for Win 10.
I know this may be a moot question, but what do other recommend/suggest?
Cheers,
Mike.
