Hi,
11 will make that more interesting because secure boot is a requirement for install among a few others.

Hi,
Yes but I'm speaking from a normal install not a hack/.... install point of view.

C´mon, we know very well that people don't buy the OS, Pull the other one

Seriously, I do. I personally own 4 retail copies of Win10, 2 of Win8, 10 or 11 of Win7 and a few of WinXP. Yeah, some people actually BUY their software.

freeagent · Sep 19, 2021

I own my copy too, I even own ms office

It took a long time for me to be able to say that.. and it feels kind of good.. meaning no guilt :laugh:

Hi,
Install them without accepting the terms of use
You'll quickly find out install aborts after lol

So yes once again you buy ms terms of use.

Luckily I didn't pay much! 10 is the first OS that I "own." I got it free while using a pirate copy of 7 back when they were giving out free upgrades :laugh:

At least they know I'm not a deviant, and I don't do bad things, and what I shop for and my interests

Hi,
TPU on holidays/... posts specials on win-10 and office bundles I'm sure you've seen them
Most say you need to clean install to use them which is weird very weird frankly

I have another source for cheap retail keys even for win-7 if you ever need one let me know only 35.us 7 or 10 pro retail.

In the past I bought any software and OS's @ about $3 USD/disc...

Hi,
Someone on another forum tried one 10 pro as a upgrade by using change key or get another version home to pro and had to clean install
Instructions stated as much but this is just weird to me.

My mom has a Dell laptop, and I swapped out her old 5400RPM Toshiba spinner for an Intel SSD, she had a home key but I selected Pro out of habit and it authenticated just fine.. it is kind of weird..

I wonder what would happen if one clean installed on a blank hard drive (so the license was attached to the machine) and then went back to the original drive and tried again.

theFOoL · Sep 19, 2021

Hmm I installed W11 Beta on my Hp x360 15 (Eh of course it said no TPM so had to use my Reg File) but it installed and was Activated by my M$ Account "I had CLOUDREADY" on it (Did diskpart to clean the Disk)

Would appear that on a M$ Account it'll Activate regardless

That's because usually you use secure boot with FAT32 partition not NTFS.

Well, I do it for the rush and run not because I need it, it's an expensive hobby of mine

Windows 11 release is very close now, does anybody knows if directstorage will be available since day one?

LifeOnMars · Sep 19, 2021

Along with Metroid above, I would also like to know this and alongside that how has everyone found gaming on this new os? Any improvements/regressions/differences you have noticed?

mtosev · Sep 19, 2021

Looks like I'm Windows 11 ready. Hoping to see a nice performance improvement on my hardware.

DirectStorage must be implemented by the game developers, the user has no control of it.

Last I know, a closed preview development kit was made available around June under strict NDA. Also, all the documentation regarding DirectStorage is locked to authorized developers only.

Wait, what now?

LifeOnMars said:

I depends on the game, but most see a slight improvement. There are some that get a hit to performance, though it's not by enough to affect gameplay.

LifeOnMars said:

The improvements are mostly to the UI and level of user controls, which have greatly improved IMHO.

Usually from what I been with Lenovo recovery USB is formatted in FAT32 for security boot plus last time I installed Windows 10 on a custom build with secure boot enabled I used FAT32 didn't have to change anything.

For custom build that was Rufus, I am not sure why but secure boot ain't a big fan of NTFS most of the time so I always used FAT32.

Oh! For a Rufus USB drive. Thought we were talking about the Windows install drive, which can't use FAT32 anymore.

Lenovo recovery is for install Windows 10 but most of people get a clean install of Microsoft's Windows 10.

True @lexluthermiester and it can be annoying since USB sticks are getting bigger and cheaper :laugh:

FAT32 has a 2TB size limit, so that is not going to be a problem any time soon.
