Do you hear, Sorceress? The final moment has come. All the forces of Greyskull, all the powers in the universe will be vested in me! ME! And you will cease to exist!

It is not too late to undo this madness

I really hope windows 11 can be used without a Microsoft account. I do not like the sound of this.

Windows 11 LTSC - disconnect the network cable hopefully.

Isn’t there something isn’t the requirements that states an internet connection is a required to setup an account with Windows11?

there is :

• Windows 11 Home edition requires an Internet connection and a Microsoft Account to complete device setup on first use.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements

unless that is a requirement of windows 11 home on a prebuilt machine or laptop that is for sale?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

that's alright I won't be on the home edition.

I know I can enable fTPM, but tempted to see if I can get a dTPM to save the hassle of having to reinitialise the fTPM each time I flash the BIOS or clear CMOS.

I tried the Health check and it did not run, says update's are managed by an organization?

 

[GGizmo]

You might not be but Microsoft are. Nobody is forcing you to upgrade. Windows 10 will be supported for a while.

Yes for only 4 years.

This is Microsoft trying to wall off the PC industry like Apple does with its Mac range, though the difference is Apple built everything themselves.

If you have an old program that doesn't have a security certificate, tough luck.

I've heard this will stop people dual booting to Linux.

At a time when the chip industry is struggling to produce enough, now we have Microsoft causing increased demand.

Btw, don't get me wrong.. the Win11 GUI looks good from what I've seen. But the thought of millions of perfectly working computers becoming obsolete in 4 years time isn't a pleasant one.

If you've signed into Office 365 or other MS apps with a work account, that comes up. You need to remove that account from the Settings app, then try again.


My PC is UEFI, I've enabled fTPM for my Ryzen 3600, but whenever I enable Secure Boot, I just boot to a blank screen after I see the mobo logo

It's an odd direction to take since they'd turned a corner to embrace open source technologies more since Nadella took over.

Life's hard man. Some people can have windows 11 some can't.

Same here, took my then 5 year old son to see it on release, his first cinema outing, we both loved it.

Allegedly it's only Windows 11 Home and not Pro. But MS are only following the foosteps of Apple and Google.

- are you using 2060 super as per your sig?
- what connections does your gpu have? HDMI/DP? what is your monitor connected to?
- do you have CSM (in the BIOS) enabled/disabled?

I had to:
Settings --> Access work or school --> [work account].disconnect
It now says my pc is ok.

If I install this leaked ISO, will it be getting regular updates from MS and when it's released will it update to a release version rather than re installing it?

I know it's unstable but it's no risk for me I don't use a computer much since I got me xbox

 

[wiiija]

It will probably update to the final no problem, easy enough to d/l the final iso when its out and update it that way anyway.

Its not unstable by the way, well, not for me anyway, it's been completely solid.
