I think it was one of the wan shows where Luke and Linus talk about Windows 11.

I don't have a link because LTT talk about a lot and I don't remember everything because I do have a life

Nice, I just got made an iso last night of version 22000.65 maybe if I got time I will try to install it and use this one on my main rig but for now I will properly just install it on my laptop got a Dell Latitude E7470.

yeah not sure where you heard that, I doubt it's true. M$ would never give people that short a time frame.

You're right.
But what if they want as many people as possible to Update in order to avoid many of us upgrading after 1/2 or even 3 years later?

I think it was this one, correct me if wrong;

Hi,
If that were true they'd/ MS would drop all the new minimum system security requirements

Most would jump on new versions as soon as it's released only a few hold out on older builds
I too would update seeing one build isn't much different from another plus I don't use 10 all that much anyway so 11 wouldn't change that so why not install it.

Can't hear any mentioned about keys expiring in any part of the W11 topics.

Might have been the wrong video. Sorry. To be fair I really don't think microsoft is going to limit the use of past version CDKeys. I even tried a Vista key to install 11. Was quite surprised by this, but it did work.

What about those that have activated windows with pirated keys?

No idea...

As in more control over updates? I don't think so.

What about those that have activated windows with pirated keys?

Probably a coin toss. Might depend on how you got your hands on one. If it's one of those that were part of a big bunch of licenses, it will probably keep working. If it's from a activation crack or something like that, it might stop working due to enhanced core security

Tbh the way I just did it was much much easier, lol

Just used the same method, very simple, and easy to do. Liking the way it looks.

Just found this, i'm on Home, don't need Pro features, so as home has no Bitlocker, does not even need TPM. Also note it says 1.2, or is that because they have not updated the text or requirements, or are they letting v1.2 be allowable?

 

[markobrian]

I used Windows update and installed 22000.65 update, my desktop right click "AMD Radeon Software" has disappeared, maybe a driver reinstall will add it to right click function again? ok nevermind, I see there is a "Show more options" at the bottom of the right click menu and this brings up a more traditional right click menu with the AMD option there, that kinda sucks so I have it pinned to the taskbar now. Noticed some improvements/changes in the Start button menu, there is now an address bar though you could start typing in the old one and it would search anyway? the notification area when clicked also brings up the calendar, not sure if that was there before? it also looks slightly slicker, maybe some changes to icons etc nothing major from what I can see though this is just what I noticed, I haven't done any kind of in-depth comparison I do like it though and have had little in the way of any bugs or issues as of yet..

 

[lexluthermiester]

I will be testing this new update shortly from a USB install drive. Will post info if there are any issues.

 

[theFOoL]

I have one SSD on Windows 10 and the other on 11 22000.65 for Testing and I like everything about it besides having to WINpass11 it but no big Deal

The TPM is a discrete cryptographic processor attached to a daughter board which plugs into the motherboard. The TPM securely stores your cryptographic key which can be created with encryption software such as Windows BitLocker. Without this key, the contents of the user’s PC will remain encrypted and safe from unauthorized access.
This means that when using a TPM, the data on our PC will be safe not only from external software threats, but also physical theft. The GIGABYTE TPM GC-TPM 2.0 features the SLB9665, an advanced 2048-bit cryptographic processor by Infineon®. The SLB9665 by Infineon processor meets all the latest industry standards including TPM 2.0 as well as Common Criteria (EAL4+).
This processor creates a military-grade encryption key that allows the use to encrypt your hard drive with Windows BitLocker, and also verify your identity online for tasks like online banking.
The GC-TPM 2.0 is compatible with GIGABYTE motherboards of that include a TPM header on below:
Intel platform: 200-series, 100-series, 8-series* , 9-series & X99 series
AMD platform: AM4, FM2 series
* To support GIGABYTE GC-TPM 2.0 needs to update the latest BIOS.
* Support for Windows 7 64-bits, Windows 8.1 32/64-bits, Windows 10 64-bit

Ok, installed 22000.65. Many fixed applied!

Colour theming still needs to be unified. Some Windows still have light theming when a dark theme is selected. FileManager glitches are fixed. The ribbon is gone and the new menu bar stays regardless of settings options selected.

Some apps still need removal the hard way, But things are a lot more smooth. Win 11 is shaping up nicely!

 

[theFOoL]

Just use the famous CCleaner for removal of programs

Indeed, its quite impressive; I sure hope I can keep using it on my Core 2 machines.

Does that actually work?

There will be a way.
