Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can’t upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    People can also get an extra 3 years of extended updates, at that point TPM 2.0 integration in consumer devices will be close to 10 years old…

    It’s also possible to install W11 without TPM 2.0 and from what I’ve seen, it works without any issues.

      Yep, when you make a Windows installer USB with Rufus it has the option to disable TPM requirement and the need for a Microsoft account.

      I decided to try out tiny 11 on an old laptop and it’s running fine. I don’t really trust it though because it doesn’t come from an official source and it’s already an iso.
