Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?
Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:
The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.
The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.
Are you all ready?
You're viewing a single thread.
I should probably look into why my absolute beast of a machine apparently isn't compatible with W11. I've just been ignoring it forever.
You likely just need to enable TPM through the BIOS (each manufacturer calls it something different).
I’m in a similar boat, but am going to use W10 EOL to probably jump ship to Linux - if not at the very least switch to Windows 10 LTSC.
Thanks, seems easy enough! Unfortunately my work revolves around the Adobe suite so it's W11 fun times for me yay
Same. If it weren't for substance painter and a few other DCC apps I'd have already moved over.
They're requiring an unnecessary new piece of hardware in order to force more computer sales. Exactly why Microsoft is interested in forcing more hardware sales, I'm not entirely sure. The hardware in question is some kind of encryption thingy, but it doesn't offer any real benefits beyond just changing where the fundamental layer of trust is for the encryption in your computer.
