Correction: it's MY last Windows release. I invite it to be yours too.
"Trade it"
TO FUCKING WHOM? The whole point is that you made it useless.
(Unless this is Microsoft providing some free advertising for Linux)
Probably going to be a ton of cheap used computers on the market in the near future for installing Linux on
Weird hill to die on perhaps; but I'll never forgive Microsoft for arbitrarily deciding to not support my Core i7 6700K 4Ghz CPU on Windows 11.
Simply because: I cannot find a single actual technical reason why it wouldn't be compatible (yes, my mobo also has TPM). It's even higher specced than many other 'supported' chips.
MS apparently just decided I hadn't spent enough money lately. Well now I won't - on your products - ever again, while this i7 will continue to run Win 10 for games and Linux for all else.
This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.
Hold on to your butts.
Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.
The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*
While I agree this is a shit thing to do, I am looking forward to the influx of cheap hardware.
Use Linux. And dont listen to zealts who say its not a viable option. Its actually way ahead than Windows or Macos
Trade it in to who? Who's buying PCs that can't be used? I mean there's the retro market, but AFAIK they aren't buying anything after Windows XP.
Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?
Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.
Please explain how malware would get on my laptop now in a way that it didn't, oh, say, in the last 12 years?
Considering you stopped receiving security updates years ago, any kind of malware developed since then is going to have a field day with you.
That's amazing, it's had years to have its field day. Where is it, please?
You guys understand you have to actively install malware and viruses, right? It's not like on TV with a skull and crossbones appearing on the monitor.
You're just making yourself a target. People go after low-hanging fruit, and people who haven't had security updates in a decade are top of the list.
Again, how will this happen? This is just technical illiteracy, my friend.
I don't know what the fuck you do on the internet... Are you really trying to suggest people don't get hacked like this? People have lost millions in crypto from shit like that. I know you don't care about crypto or whatever, but it doesn't make the situation less real..
Some people have things of value on their internet-connected devices. It's just foolish to not stay up to date with security updates.
People. INSTALL. THESE. THINGS. ACTIVELY
They click on things they shouldn't. I already know I shouldn't. The end.
Not just from letting the computer run. Explain why I don't have any of these problems with my oh-so vulnerable 12 year old Windows 7 laptop?
"People have lost millions in crypto from shit like that. " Sources. Links. Explain how it happened. So you're claiming people with Windows 7 computers also have millions in crypto? What?
Honestly not even worth wasting my time. As if there isn't a billion news stories and websites explaining this shit already, and much better than I ever could. It honestly feels super strange even having this conversation in 2025. I guess there will always be people who refuse to understand the tech they use.
Why are you so aggressive? I get it, you like Windows 7. I liked it too at the time. Take a breath.
"Honestly not even worth wasting my time. "
ChatGPT, translate!
"I have no actual evidence, but it feels good to me."
What's agressive is forcing endless upgrades for no reason. No one can even provide a single source of evidence for these amazing Hollywood viruses besides "everyone knows" or urban legends. You don't even check into what really happens and happily confirm your bias.
Like I said a million times, you have to purposely run an executable to get these amazing trojans and viruses. Windows 7 doesn't magically pull them out of the ether and runs them with a 24 style countdown timer.
Try google.
I did: "how do you get computer viruses"
Answer: "Computer viruses can be spread via email, with some even capable of hijacking email software to spread themselves. Others may attach to legitimate software, within software packs, or infect code, and other viruses can be downloaded from compromised application stores and infected code repositories."
Try it yourself. No mention of Windows 7, all about USERS INSTALLING THEM.
QED.
Try getting better at google?
So that's not good enough for you, but still no proof? If it's so easy to Google, help me out since I'm so inept.
Still waiting for my laptop to be pwned.
Why are you so resistant to facts?
I want to ditch windows so bad, but I can't run any autodesk products on Linux atm.... Revit, Autocad... Sad noises
Install atlas os and dual boot linux as your daily driver. Honestly linux experience is what you think windows experience is and vice versa. Windows is just insanely bad now. I haven't touched my psu power button, done anything close to using reg edit or have a bsod equvilent just from playing a video game since I moved to fedora.
Not familar with AtlasOS... Interesting. Not that I have any use for it personally.
And all Windows-only software works natively on it?
Its a stripped down windows 10, that's all.
Is this a better alternative to going with bazzite or garuda? Or will support be lost once ms moves to win 11 only ? I love linux but I am worried I won't be able to game or use vr (quest2) without a bunch of work. I play a lot of racing Sims, steam games which I'm fine with, but my friends do play pubg which I'd have to abandon due to the stupid anti cheat. I'd like to not have to dual boot but I may have to for vr..
As someone who has been on Bazzite for maybe 6 months now, I will never go back to any form of Windows, regardless of how neutered it might be.
I can't speak for VR though.
Reject Autocad, embrace FreeCAD.
Haha I would love to. But I would have to get all my teams - and there are many - to switch. I also tried FreeCAD. It's OK for hobbyists but it's unusable for architecture... C'est la vie
why for architecture?
It's not streamlined, fast, or integrated well with other platforms/programs. Most of all, our adjacent consultants need to work in dwg. The whole industry pipeline is built around Autodesk products unfortunately and they own the market
Thats interesting. I thought that IFC is all we need nowadays. At least for my home I want to build its enough (luckily)
It's Ok for small shops that do local projects. When you start working on large commercial projects you have 4-5 teams (architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, irrigation consultants) with each team involving 7-12 people then the pipeline gets complicated fast. Standardization is the only way to get projects out the door in a timely manner. We're already struggling with in-house autodesk products that already struggle to talk to each other bc autodesk sucks haha
I mean, what do you expect them to say?
"Time to install Linux, here's how you chose a kernel:"
