    Right now, unreleased version, yes. But official version will undo registry changes and enforce TPM on physical computers, only allow to run without it on VM. Actually even insiders whose hardware isn't marked as Win 11 compatible are being kicked out from Win 11 program until they upgrade hardware.

     

    You're free to take risk, though. It is your money, after all.

    You're allowed to install it manually on old machines , they just won't support you if things don't work out well running it on old hardware it wasn't designed for

    About the time the pandemic started I got interested in really knowing and "researching" Scotch whisky. There is a wide range of prices of course from the cheap blends (malt and grain) to the more expensive (and much better) single malts and blended malts. The import and sin taxes here on spirits do not seem as extreme as on imported wines. Further, less expensive blends (Dewars White, J&B, Teacher's, Cutty Sark, 100 Pipers, Bell's etc.) are priced similar and in a few rare cases lower here in LOS than in the UK and US. 

    But the better single malts (lately for me it's been Ardbeg, Lagavulin, etc.) can be 20 to 30 % more here than in the US, even counting for the nearly 10% sales tax in CA. And in some cases, worse. Blend 285 is the kind of Thai whiskey Thais drink, almost always with mixer; but there are many others produced in country; the moderator probably would not like me quoting prices.

    You can buy a bottle for 185 thb 

    It's fine to talk about prices

    I just don't think there is a difference between beer and other alcohols. If you consume the same amount and its produced safely. Sure of course the drug beer does less harm when used moderate. But It does not really matter what kind of alcohol only the amount of alcohol. (for the bad effects of alcohol)

    There is surely a difference

    Drink a pint of beer in 5 minutes and then drink a pint of whisky in 5 minutes

    Should the Thai Embassy make a complaint to the Australian Government?

     

    Currently nobody is allowed into Australia except citizens and permanent residents.

     

    Thailand is actually letting different groups of people in, including foreign work permit holders, permanent residents, business people, married, those with Thai children etc.

     

    Thailand is being pretty fair considering public opinion, yet folk think they should just swing open the doors.

     

    Dream on.

    They need money

    Expecting a sensible and coordinated approach on anything from the Thai authorities is a waste of time. Foreigners to their mind are simply not important. The fact that we add so much to the economy is a point they can't get their heads round and long term, this is going to bite them in the you know where.

    Farangs are not responsible for much of Thailand's revenue....

    Most thais couldn't give a toss if they never saw another farang

    For me it would be. I consider it a sport. Going after morally bankrupt souls is big fun. And usually it ends quickly and simply, if you are clever, and do it right. Very few people have been able to get over on me, with this approach. A few times. But, not many! The last thing in the world I am afraid of, is a defamation suit, from an empty suit, or getting killed by a guy over 7,000 baht. Timidity has it's price, also. 

    I'm not shy of confrontations

    But I'm also too wealthy to start a war over trivial amounts which to me a broken fridge would be

     

    Just write it off and move on with the last month's rent in your pocket

    Take note everybody.

    Taken the Chinese less than 10 years to totally  destroy what was a beautiful place.

    Now it's ruined they move on to ruin the next place & leave their concrete jungles behind them.

    They should make them leave the site the way they found it

    They should ban the animals from leaving China.North Korea style, no passports

    It may still be the router even if you don't notice a problem with the phone / tablet - not all devices behave equally when they encounter a problem.

     

    If poss, take your laptop to another WiFi area, a good way from home, (friend's house perhaps?) where you can use it for several hours during the day and confirm that the issue really IS on the laptop. 

    If it is, then first, shut down the laptop, remove the battery, and hold the power switch down for a few seconds as if you were trying to power it up. Have a cuppa, then replace battery and try again. This is easy to do and will reset the hardware - it's not that probable but always start with the easy stuff!

     

    If that doesn't fix it, update the drivers for the WiFi adapter (Control Panel > Device Manager)

     

    @ballpoint made a very good suggestion, but if the problem isn't actually on the LT, then it won't help - really up to you.

     

    So If his or my suggestions don't fix it or if it's OK at the other location,  turn your attention to the WiFi and router:

    Does it happen at particular times of day? You mentioned the "wifi seem to drop out during the day" and using the phone/tablet in the evening:

    Have you tried running the phone/tablet alongside the LT and seeing if they drop out at the same time? It's possible that something external is interfering with the WiFi in daytime only.

     

    Have you power-cycled the router? (Off....leave it for 30 seconds, on again)?

     

    UPDATES:  Try the Google search   "internet dropping out" 

    and to illustrate the point that it MIGHT be an external issue especially if it happens at certain times....

    Less complex way of doing this is turning your phone into a wifi hotspot

     

    If your laptop connects to it and stays connected then you it most likely is your wifi box

     

    You can use "USB tethering" on your phone also if that works and feed the wifi internet into the computer through the USB cable from your phone

     

    Wired connection might not drop at all since your tablet can stay connected

    Make sure the cooling pad fan blows down and not up - or you will find it blowing dust etc into your laptop and make things worse !

    I saw a test video of some of these things once and the most effective one was a small one that attached to the (usually left)  side of the laptop over the exit vent and the fan on top pulled the hot air out of the laptop 

    It was more effective than the big ones that go underneath the entire laptop
