Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can’t upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    90 weeks? I guess I can have another baby, and then after a while make a decision on what to do with my W10 VM installation

      VMs can emulate TPM cant they? Win11 still sucks but at least it will work.

        Any decent motherboard built in the last 10 years should have a TPM chip onboard.

          I just bought a brace of enterprise servers.

          TPM chips are useless.

          Meh.

          All my hardware is just slightly older than TPM and SecureBoot. It’s from like 2009.
