Windows 11, End of service

[IsaanT]

The original poster mentioned Linux.

 

This laptop is running Ubuntu, a popular flavour of Linux.  I'm running multiple tabs on Chrome, just like I do on my Windows PC.  Linux is open-source, so it's free to use and there are no licences.  It also boots up and runs faster than Windows 1x because it's not bloatware.

 

Before you all rush to convert your computers (did I mention I'm an optimist?), be aware that occasionally it needs some technical awareness, e.g. to complete a Chrome update.  It's not difficult, and it's worth it, but I want to be transparent.  Overall, I recommend it, but conditionally.

I am consistently surprised that  people keep asking for advice about their health and their difficulties with modern tech on ASEAN Forums.

 

Pharmacists are trained to treat minor ailments and will tell you if they can't and you need to see a doctor.

 

The internet abounds in people ( geeks, nerds, coders, tech guys etc)  who will tell you exactly how to fix your laptop, your car, your AC , your sewing machine etc etc, with a helpful video - plus ( and this is a big plus)  they will never insult you.  

 

WHO is asking for ADVICE?
I told in my OP that I made already the decision to install LINUX on my notebook because of the continuous hassle with Microsoft and asked the OPINION of other users on this decision.
I am fully aware of the existing "Cheats" on the Internet to install an upgrade on your system despite the warnings of Microsoft, but that was not what I had in mind.
Of course, some readers here need to get a course on READING ENGLISH.

I am consistently surprised that people keep giving "advises" which were not asked for and consistently want to get appraisal for their ranting and accusations.

Like accusing me now for posting insults in YouTube and the UNFOUNDED accusations he posted before.
What's next?
Accusing me of planning the 7/11 attack on the twin towers?
I have pity with that person.
Must be spending his whole day looking at accusing people in posts in Aseannow while living in Thailand.
What a pathetic person.

He reminds me of an old German guy in out village who used to spend his whole day at his computer, reading how people get around the software keys and in the evening he came to the local pub telling his rants to everybody and expecting the consumers to buy hin a drink.
Pathetic.

Microsoft Windows keep evolving and is adapting their OS to the new versions of the PROCESSOR, the version 8, which has code for a lot of hardware that was not exsisting 2 years ago.
"C" ports instead of USB ports, SSD instead of physical hard disks, Memory cards, etc.
Using Windows 23H2/24H2 on an older system can lead to data loss or computer malfunctioning.
I take their advice anytime above the "ILL ADVICES" in this group of how to cheat Microsoft.

If you have automatic updates, you should not worry, a new version will come automatically. I bought a Win10 Pro, this is what I have now from automatic updates...
