It's a free upgrade. Bitching about the version is insane. It was a marketing change they turned around on. It still meant you get a free upgrade which used to cost money.
Not if your PC doesn't support some arbitrary requirements. I can't upgrade because of the TPM requirement. There are ways to get around it. But at the same time Windows 11 isn't really something I want to upgrade to. It's got a bunch of crap I don't need or want. Not that Windows 10 didn't. Windows 11 is just worse and I've drawn a line.
I have to use Windows 11 for work so I know what I'm missing. Nothing. Well, the screenshot button being mapped to the snipping tool is nice. But there is already a shortcut for the snipping tool.
Absolute nonsense 🤣
TPM isn't arbitrary, it's the path to a new from of CPU embedded, digital rights management that will marry your software to your cpu and make it non-transferable. The end goal being some successor of pluton where all code you download is encrypted and you can't ever see it.
You won't be able to jailbreak your PC in the future, just like 99% of smartphones.
