11 Forum without the S
Why would you install a totally unsupported OS for?The point is as we could install Windows Vista back then to computers without a supported graphics card, we can install Windows 11 today on computers without UEFI, TPM or Secure Boot.
I think you are correct. @Wynona is someone they know and trust. We are strangers and they might feel embarrassed to ask a stranger for help.It's the mindset - asking some stranger online to help with your computer. Especially for a novice. And the answers can be daunting.
My issue was with the audio card..Never had that issue. Then as I said I built a Vista PC with new hardware (and software).
I would only recommend it someone who wanted to test Win 11 and knows enough about computers that they aren't going to panic if they run into any problems.Why would you install a totally unsupported OS for?
I was talking about any pre Win10 os.. why??I would only recommend it someone who wanted to test Win 11 and knows enough about computers that they aren't going to panic if they run into any problems.
And I agree. Unless someone knows what they are doing and for test purposes there is no reason to install an unsupported OS.I was talking about any pre Win10 os.. why??
I was mentoring some young engineers, helping them to solve an issue. One of my principal engineers asked if I could help him. I said sure and went to his pc and typed "www.google.co.uk" and said "there you go". The rest of my team fell about laughing.My students all know this forum exists, but so far, I've failed to convince any of them to join up. They prefer to ask me, rather than look things up for themselves.
I'm trying to figure out ways to "nicely" tell them to "look it up for yourself".
Don't exaggerate. Windows 11 is not totally unsupported for older systems. This would mean it cannot be installed at all, that there would be no workaround. Our old computers work perfectly with Windows 11, exactly the same, if not better with Windows 10. Unsupported here means Microsoft has the right to deny assistance. Not that it doesn't run at all. As for why, for the same reason one installs Windows 11 on an officially supported system. We want the latest and newest operating system, plus we like the new look. It is nicer than the flat lame interface of Windows 10.Why would you install a totally unsupported OS for?
For the same reason buddy takes his '57 Chevy for a spin when he's got a brand new Mercedes sittin in the driveway!I was referring to OS's like Xp,,7 that aren't supported. The question is why would anyone want to install them??
Well.. the '57 Chevy is a legend.. more so than Win Xp or 7..For the same reason buddy takes his '57 Chevy for a spin when he's got a brand new Mercedes sittin in the driveway!
Sounds good, Nigel! I think I'll do that.Create a shortcut to this forums main page and add it to the default desktop on all of their systems, make sure you name it "FREE Windows help" That should work
I have taken your post and numbered the various comments for clarity.Don't exaggerate. Windows 11 is not totally unsupported for older systems.
