My thoughts exactly, if it's just a less bloated win10 that runs better sign me up. Although I will make it look more like win10 win7.

Corrected that for you !

Wow, you seem to be in a bit of mood today. Everything alright ?

And personally, 3.1 nah.. but the look of win10 is not to my liking, prefer win7 similar look so using windowsblinds to get there, and some other 3rd party software's to change the look of win10. Just a personal opinion though.

Ah yes Windows 3.1, that was very nice and fast. I remember upgrading to win95 hating it and then going back to 3.1 for a long time.

Looking forward to it, less bloat the better. Didn't like having to run declutter apps/programs just to do it.

I like the look of it, the UI has needed improving for some time. I tend to update as soon as they are available and so far not had many issues over the years.
Looking forward to: Win 11, Visual Studio 22 and MAUI.

there are simple workarounds to bypass the system requirements.

What are the new system requirements?

Yet @watercooledman doesn't spill the beans. It's supposed to be a techie forum.

Does Windows 11 require UEFI Bios and TPM 2.0?
According to developers who have got their hands on Windows 11 leaked build, it might require UEFI Bios and TPM 2.0. For those who are catching up, UEFI is a relatively new type of bios, which allows enhanced input and output functionality. To check what type of bios a machine has, open the search menu and type msinfo32, and then press enter. In the 'system information' window that opens, click on 'System Summary' and find out the type of bios.

Also...

When Windows 11 Home prompts users to connect to a network, a simple ‘Alt + F4’ shortcut closes the prompt, and the screen proceeds directly to the local account creation page – something that is never offered to users in the usual process.

Many Mobo's even high end gaming orientated ROG's of past few gens do not have a TPM header, more likely the Server/WIFI models have them and if you are not going to encrypt your drives then no real need.

 

[Darujhistan]

Slightly OT.

Any ideas why my W10 is stuck in a cycle where it starts the update, decides it can't continue and then rolls everything back?

Been happening for a about a month.

Cheers.

Thanks for that. Hope it's not a requirement as I'm not confident messing about with the Bios.

One of my Pcs running Windows 10 is using a Z77X-UD3H motherboard with a 3570k.

It's in legacy BIOS mode. I assume there will be some way to install windows 11 despite this need to use a UEFI bios.

 

[JohnG7]

Swap modes or change then clean install.

[opethdisciple]

My Z77X-UD3H says it has a '3D BIOS (Dual UEFI)' which I assume it means it supports UEFI bios mode?

 

[JohnG7]

Yes.

You really should be using UEFI+Fastboot+GPT (not MBR) partition on a SSD to get best out of it.

 

[opethdisciple]

Yes.

When Windows 11 comes out I'll probably do a clean install and changes the BIOS then.

This PC has been upgraded from Windows 7 with every update, so no bios changes have been made in that time.
