@Frankenscript for your machines with Enterprise do you run your own KMS server to activate?
No, I'm not that big time. I bought some "pro" licenses once and they turned out to be Enterprise when I used them.

Oh didn't know that was thing, always thought Enterprise needed to be activated via a KMS linked to MS.

Yeah, understood. I was shocked when I entered the code expecting to be recognized as Pro and then Enterprise popped up.

Usually KMS is involved in distribution for Enterprise. Frankly, this was a pair of dodgy licenses I bought on Ebay for a few $; these are usually Pro extras people sell from tech dev accounts or decommissioned equipment with a 50/50 validity rate but these enterprise ones worked fine.

Microsoft is backing off the prohibition against older CPUs. Now states that older CPUs won't be able to do in place upgrades but that installing by wiping and doing fresh install will no be blocked for the older machines.

I'm ok
I am concerned about the true intention behind Windows 11, it definitely feels like its eavesdropping into people's privacy :(
And you think Windoze 10 is secure and private?

I wonder how much you can do on win 11 without having internet connected.
Anymore a UNIX laptop (chrome book) will do almost as much as windows when you have it connected to the internet.

Yeah, and the great thing about Chomebook OS is you can wipe it off and install Linux.....:cool:

I have a better idea, why not have no screen of death at all and make a reliable operating system for once. Otherwise it will always be a sore reminder of the many issues embedded in the human psyche

Lets end racism once and for all
We are still talking about MS OS, right?? Ever since the beginning..........they are not going to change their perfect fuckup record, now.......

Don't you just love it when Windows 11 restarts automatically to install updates even though you clearly unauthorized it from doing so in settings? :facepalm:

Can this not be set within local polices on the box? That’s how I’ve disabled updates and restarts in W10, I think?
