>buy a new PC or fuck you

ok?

If you didn't get this then at October you got hacked you'd complain they did a shit job for not telling you, Security updates are almost mandatory for Windows even if the chance of it happening to (You) is 0.000000000000001%.

What's your point, thirdie?

>>713932889 (OP)
Ah yes "remind me later" or "view advertisement"
Fuck microsoft

damn, and 11 still sucks
dark times for windows, even 8 wasn't as bad

>>713933614
kek you fucking retards, OP here, the reason microshit thinks I can't upgrade to win 11 is because I disabled TPM in the bios
I'm not installing that piece of shit

>>713932889 (OP)
How is this any different than your old ass phone that stopped getting security updates?

Plus nowadays you can get PCs that are cheaper than phones.

>its perfectly fine to use operating systems that no longer receive security updates!

>>713933932
It literally is.

Windows was never at any point secure.

>>713932889 (OP)
I had to do a fresh install of Windows 11 recently. Windows 10 gradually got worse through out the year. I had enough when every game crashed within the first 3 minutes. I was too lazy to check if I had driver issues or SSD issues. So I replaced the M.2 SSD with new m.2 SSD. Installed Windows 11 and it runs FLAWLESSLY.
My HDR looks better, no more micro stuttering in games, used groupon for a 12 dollar windows key. I am very happy right now.

>>713936352

Oof
And it takes two seconds to switch too.

>>713932889 (OP)
>Remind me later
>Discover Windows 11
Microsoft loves no-exit prompts and it never fails to piss me off

Is there a good guide on what to do when installing W11 to make it as not shit as possible?

>>713936352
you could have just activated it for free

>>713933737
Okay retard. Then go use linux like the other based bros said. Either you stumble the whole way trying to even get it working all whilst wasting your time, or you get compromised like everyone else the second you connect that pc to the internet. One of the two is a certainty.

>>713936789
Yeah, step 1: format the installation media, step 2: delete the ISO. Seriously, even the Windows thread on /g/ won't try to rationalize 11, it's that unsalvageable.

>>713933614
All the games I play work just fine on my decade old Thinkpad. Why would I upgrade? It's plenty fast for everything I need it to do.

Get rid of Windows, then install Arch Linux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxeriGuJKTM. Enable Proton in Steam and use Lutris / Wine for other games.

>>713933924
>Plus nowadays you can get PCs that are cheaper than phones.
You're underestimating how cheap phones are. You can get a legitimate android smart phone at walmart for $30 or less and while the phones are obviously not great they are a fantastic alternative for projects where you'd use something like a Raspberry Pi because they're so cheap and run android so its a very versatile device.

>>713936958
>or you get compromised like everyone else the second you connect that pc to the internet.
if that's one certainty, why not just stick with windows 10?

Im still using windows 7. I can browse the internet just fine and play older and better vidya. The only reason I cant play newer things is because they artificially lock you out of new stuff to try and force you to upgrade.

But I wont for a while. Why upgrade when everything works great.

>>713932889 (OP)

That goes for whatever OS you pick, period. The safest OS/build will forever be an OS that never touched the internet. With this being said, it can be 10, xp, linux, hackintosh mac, doesn't matter. Pick what ever you want if it's an offline machine.

Everything is pure non-sensible dribble if you're ranting about internet privacy in current year. It doesn't exist anymore, for anything in the IoT.

>literally everyone who didn't immediately upgrade their motherboard which basically means the entire computer if you're going that deep can go fuck themselves
My 3700x works fine, thanks. Was considering a 5000 series upgrade but they didn't seem worth the squeeze back then and they really don't at this point.

>>713937578
XP didn't even have a damn firewall. You had to download something like zonealarm to gain that functionality.
You're literally comparing a police station to a public bathroom and calling them equally vulnerable to being taken over by a squad of pedophiliac necrophobes.

>>713938059
Technically not true since you can be physically compromised. Especially for portable devices.

>>713932889 (OP)
you will update to windows 13 for dx13 anyway

>>713932889 (OP)
My window 10 is legit so I wonder if I force the upgrade to windows 11 even if my PC isn't "compatible" will they remove the license or it will work like an actual activated OS? Im not retarded of building a new PC if the older one works perfectly fine.

god I really don't want to go back to having to deal with shit like lsasser but I don't want to upgrade to 11 fffffffuckkkkkkkkkkk

>>713938740
there's no reason for dx13 to exist

>>713938639
That's technically true, but to be physically compromised like that not a thing to be worried about at all as an average joe. However, your point is very valid for vips and people with their own businesses, it's a very valid attack vector for those targets.

>>713938949
Why do you care when MAS exists.

Are anons memeing about muh security or is it tech illiterate zoomers?

>>713936789
Yeah, you use a tool like Chris Titus's to remove the retarded things
https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

>>713932889 (OP)
there's literally nothing wrong with windows 11

Windows 10 LTSC continues to get security updates until 2032. Hopefully by then either Linux is not shit anymore.

>>713939120
Ok I might be an actual retard because I don't know what "MAS" is

>>713939012
Makes microsoft money when windows 12 can't run it forcing you to upgrade.

>>713939171
Microsoft intentionally will do something to make Windows 10 vulnerable to force people to update. Don't pretend they haven't done this in the past

oh look another digital illiterate thread

>>713932889 (OP)
Don't see it on LTSC.

It does you have tpm dumb dumb. For some reason many vendors have it disabled by default go into UEFI and turn it on. Bam win11 compatible.
Wow.

Amazing.

>>713939419
Why would you use a program when you can just program it through a terminal yourself?

>>713939491
Ok but I didn't ask for a crack I asked if it was still activated if I forced the upgrade...

>>713939206
This. He even has O&Oshutup able to run from it, for double-tapping any other unwanted features.

>>713939419
Nothing's stopping you, his github/documentation has all the lines so you can actually do it yourself like that. Even if you don't use it, his supplemental comments on all his tweaks will probably save you some time, when you use it as a sort of reference guide.

>>713939596
I didn't give you a crack.

>>713933614
My computer doesn't have a part in it from before 2023 and it still says my hardware can't handle Windows 11 for some reason.

Juts install using Rufus and not Microsoft's own software and you don't even need TPM.

am4 and am5 has it integrated in the cpu
and they turn it on by default

>>713939927
That's very fine for the real old rigs, but toggling on AMD's fTPM is significantly more recommended than the rufus route. Latter is probably why tons of amd users have stability issues. I bet it's even more unstable than old intel CPUs.

>>713940073
Anon, I think you should be fine. look up fTPM in the bios, it's amd's version of their built-in tpm. Anything past the 5000 Ryzen are still solid. 7000 series (x3d at that) is seriously okay for w11, don't listen to the poorfags.

>>713940210
Oh, this board has one but it's apparently not turned on. I see. That's really dumb, but I guess I can update now.

>win10 will die
>win11 sucks ass

Wheres windows 12?

>>713940545
glhf. Realize that "fixing" w11 to be a usable OS is no different than fixing/debloating w10 btw. I've heard soo many w10 retards say they aren't moving to 11, when in reality they both debloat/get "fixed" the same goddamn way lol.

>>713940636
They're waiting for me specifically to move to 11 to announce that they're releasing 12 the next day.

u betta prep yt boi

>>713940636
windows 11 is great
until the indians release an update that breaks something and you have to fix it in regedit or some shit, which only happens every other week haha

>>713940636
Soon, it'll be the one that really uses copilot+recall, and will be THE npu/ai windows OS.

When this happens you will see the pc communities come full circle again, praising previous build (W11) and bashing the next/upcoming one.

Come home free man

>>713940943
The newer version of windows being worse than the previous one does not make the previous one any better. Saying the newer one is worse is not praising the previous one.

>>713940860
Just turn off automatic updates.

>>713933614
what game from the last decade is worth upgrading for?
none

>>713941504
First people become nostalgic about it, then people just forget about the bad parts after enough years go by. Simple as that, same reason why XP gets romanticized nowadays when in reality it took in just as much flak as the rest with its problems.

Safest/most peaceful transition imho was Vista -> 7 because the hardware generation leap happened at the beginning of Vista, and 7 didn't demand much of what Vista asked for in comparison back then. That's practically the only reason why people truly liked 7, it just worked.

>>713942565
>then people just forget about the bad parts after enough years go by.
Hard to forget when every single part of your OS is a putrid pile of shit, if anything I imagine 11 and 12 will just push normies towards apple, and everyone else will keep using 10 and linux

>>713933932
unless you're a business, the security shit is a meme. nobody cares about you as a random unless you're a high priority lolcow.

>>713943121
How can someone be as stupid as you are? I genuinely don't understand. Is it hubris?

Install GNU/Linux

Wait until trannies ruin linux and start making toddler-tier distros for their retards. What ever Windows and Apple are doing, is the endgame for all operating systems.

>>713942565
Yeah, I'm shitting on 11 because of the nostalgia of using 10 currently. Sure.

I can't be fucked updating

I don't have to format when I upgrade right
