Windows 8.1 cant updates free -
When Microsoft announced its Windows 11 operating system, it made it very clear that the operating system was designed for devices that meet the operating system's system requirements. The company pulled the released Windows 11 compatibility checker, because it only returned "compatible" or "not compatible" when run, but did not provide explanations. With the release just a week away, users worldwide are left with uncertainty when it comes to installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices.
Recently, Microsoft added a new prompt to the setup of Windows 11 that acts as a waiver if the device does not meet the minimum system requirements of Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive updates. Does it mean that unsupported Windows 11 devices won't receive updates, even security updates?
Or is Microsoft playing it safe and merely stating that it can't be held responsible if updates won't install on unsupported devices? It would be a first for the company if devices that run one of its supported operating systems would be blocked from receiving any updates or at the very least security updates.
The devices would be stuck on the initial install version of Windows Without updates, security issues and other issues would not be patched, and the devices would be vulnerable to attacks and exploits. Administrators would have little options but to restore an older version of Windows, install an older version of Windows from scratch, or switch to Linux.
Microsoft has never been a company with clear communication. The wording of the "What needs your attention" waiver, which it displays during setup, is another prime example of that. It seems likely that unsupported Windows 11 devices will receive updates, but that administrators are on their own if issues are encountered during installation of the updates or afterwards.
Unsupported means that Microsoft won't help customers if the PC does not meet the minimum system requirements. Updates could also refer to feature updates, which will be released once per year. Feature updates could include system compatibility checks, and devices not meeting the minimum system requirements could be prevented from installing those; this would end the ride one year after the official release of Windows Admins may be able to install that new Windows 11 version from scratch but it could mean losing access to installed applications or system changes.
Microsoft could provide a simpler explanation, both in regards to updates on devices that don't meet the system requirements and on installation of Windows 11 on unsupported devices, but there is little hope that a company official will go on record about either of these matters. Windows users who plan to upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware may want to wait at least a month before they consider starting the upgrade.
By that time, the first cumulative update will have been released, and information about the update behavior on unsupported Windows 11 devices will have come to light. It is even possible that the first Windows 11 update will be released on October 12, the Patch Tuesday of the month. To answer the title's question: Windows 11 devices, that don't meet the minimum system requirements, could indeed be bricked by Microsoft, if the company decides to block these from receiving updates.
We will know more in two weeks time, when the first updates for Windows 11 will be released. IMO This company acts more like a Mafia than a company. The game service from Valve Inc. The most common problem of titles not working properly was the DRM solutions implemented in those games.
However, Valve has been busy and now their proton libraries have support for DRM as well. Lots of Windows games already work just as good on Linux, some even work better.
So there is much less risk for publishers to also put out a version for Linux with very little effort now DRM support in proton has arrived. Games are a big reason why many people keep Windows around. Or at least one of the most vocal Windows user groups gamers do. Especially if you do not do much more than surf the internet, watch videos, do office work, have video meetings, etc.
Personally, I have had great experiences with Pop! For my other tasks Linux serves me also very well. Of course, it is foolish to think my personal experiences with Linux will be the same for those considering their next move regarding their operating system. And it could be a much better fit than you might think right now. Firstly, Same goes for numerous other Windows software you stole. Now since Windows 11 goes all in on security, I suspect in the future it will be more and more difficult to run any stolen software on Windows..
Then what, Windows fanboys..? Then what? The arrival of a new MS Windows version is always a good reason to make the switch to a Linux distro. There may be a learning curve often also with a new Windows version , but the time and effort invested will not be wasted. Everything is where you expect it to be and just works. Oh and without a Microsoft account NAG all over the place. Apart from a few designers and professionals, who even needs Photoshop?
What for? Just take good photos, folks. And you can add silly captions to them, crop them or fix your faces in any software. As for games, never gamed, never will. Gamers are actually a little annoying to me. And the few I met run pirate games. But I approve because their continuous demand for more powerful components means that I can get a great computer with good components cheaper.
Which I did. Since no one says it, I will. If you are older than a teenager and still play computergames: You are ridiculous and sad, sad creature. Sad, useless and a lousy excuse for a human being.
Grow up. Start living. I pray for your parents because you are a low life loser telling people to shut the fuck up. Selling software led to NFTs. Source code access? Their code, in like manner, is readily available, say you?
None cares, people dont even care that GHacks is now an advertising pit of shame trying to monetize on the users in a way unprecedented by previous rule. Which is the point innit, everyone is out to make a buck and none gives a hoot where the buck comes from. Its all about creating demand for useless technologies and assert their presence inside secure core pcs by adding a layer of control over your hardware.
And No Windows 10 is the last of the Windows here, they are trying to become like Apple, all their devs work with Apple crap and it shows on the poor quality shoddy coding. Netflix does not support 4K on any other OS. I wish I could completely ditch Windows, but there truly are no alternatives for these things.
Let me now when there's a Visual Studio version for Linux. Some of us use tools that are only available for Windows. Very eloquently put sir! I think not! What apins me most is my computer is less than two years old and it passes the compatibility checks with flying colours with one small but expensive exception.. Agreed, none of the companies I run or deal with have intentions of rebuilding new workstations for TPM.
This is the last windows we will use.. Will go to alternatives after 10 unusable. People need to just them NO.. I have installed Windows 11 on an I3 6th Dell Laptop. It updates just fine and runs no slower than Windows 10 did. Now if they issue an update that forces TPM 2. If they did they would face a massive class action lawsuit.
These security measures were really designed for large corporate systems not the average person at once or in a very small business. Presumably the offending sentence does not over-ride the promised ability to roll back to Windows 10 for a set time.
Eventually Windows requires more and MS will kill simply stop updating unsupported hardware. Indeed, I have a stack of hardware that I was trying to sell. A couple thousand AUD. This TPM garbage is going result in massive wastes of hardware — all of which will end up on the rubbish pile instead of being recycled. Absolutely a low life decision from Microsoft. I just installed Zorin OS 16 on a friends 10 year old laptop, she is thrilled beyond belief.
Everything works and is fast, the laptop is now better than it ever was. The best it can ever be. This old potato is a thousand times more secure than and spanking brand new laptop that meets all the Windows 11 requirements. Let that sink in for a bit. Do yourself and everyone you know a favor: Drop windows.
Guess what, your house has been on fire for many years already. Windows 10 runs like trash on a 10 year old laptop? Plus most people will have security software on top of the TPM and Secureboot.
