Windows 11 General Discussion

The feature W11 is requiring is VBS. Virtualizing memory for security. Only high end processors from before gen 7 or 2 support it

So Core 2 Duo supports that, this is why it can run win11?

Nah, it can run without it. It just calls it unsupported as it is less secure.

It,s hard enough to set up Win 10 let alone Win 11.As i am finding out it want accept any Pin i try to put in there. it goes to the next stage where them i click it takes me back to setting up my account and when i put my password in it says it is the wrong one.I get the same thing with Hotmail ,Microsoft sucks.I never get any problems with any other site.

Mode-Based Execution Control. Supported on Kaby-Lake at the earliest, I think. Anything that doesn't have native MBEC gets by with an emulation of said feature. Which has the downside of being slower obviously.

I call bs on "less secure"

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Yeah, probably. I think older ones can emulate VBS/HVCI as well so it's really a from M$.

Last known build that works with the reg hack file import. I simply extract from the ISO made by Rufus via USB Device LINK

I found out why it was asking me all that Microsoft,i remember seeing are old friend Jayz two cents on utube, Talking about not connecting to the internet to bypass all that stuff.I did all the stuff the guy in the video did, but it did not work I tried two SSD,s they would not boot back into Mac os. I thought it seemed too easy.
Still got problems with Hotmail not allowing me to log in . Saying my password is wrong. Do any of you have problems with Hotmail?

this is the first time I have heard someone on youtube saying he does not want any money from anyone watching his channel.

I've been fine with Hotmail? It's in fact the one I use for the Windows Insider program and my 365 subscription.

@Greenslade That's because he's a multi-millionaire

We all have different experiences. I know a lot of people do have problems with it.

Anyone tried Bloatbox for ridding yourself of all that crap Microsoft preinstalls in Win 10 and 11? I've just tried it on a lowly machine that I'd upgraded and it's freed up loads of resources.

Double click sux and wears out mouse buttons

Now that's weird as I haven't had a broken mouse switch even when I played 10+ hours of Diablo II daily back in the day. Also I retired my old G400s last autumn after 7½yrs of service, it still works like new on my 2nd rig and I only upgraded it since MX518 was on sale at 20EUR.

the win11 - 22621.1 has been released today as final version.

since MS rolls this out officially this summer, I would like to post only the screenshot and not promote an "unofficial ISO".

just FYI

It will go through a bunch of beta builds before reaching the public, for stability. I wonder though how long that will take. Is summer release confirmed (so, June to August or so)?

the Windows 11 22621 is the official final release ("RTM"). From now on, there will only be updates and the 22621.1 is the "original version" as we always call it.

While this means that the Windows 11 22H2 is ready, it is not yet distributed. It is currently still in the beta channel, then will come to the Release Preview channel a bit later. However, those who are curious can switch over now, or leave the beta channel. Microsoft will only announce the official release in the summer, and even then, everyone else will only receive Windows 11 22H2 in waves via Windows Update.

 

[R-T-B]

Anyone on 21H2 just go through an update that refused to install? It also corrupted my system as indicated by sfc /scannow, I had to do a repair/reinstall to fix. dism couldn't fix it on its own.

MS really needs it's true blue Q&A team back...

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

I have yet to see CBS issues with 11. But the 10 ISO, has CBS issues right-out-of-the-box! Albeit DISM doesn't fail.

Your SSD may be failing. (may be defective)

 

[plastiscɧ]

Your SSD may be failing. (may be defective)

which SSD do u have in this case?

 

[R-T-B]

Your SSD may be failing. (may be defective)

Doubtful. It's a P5 Plus with 100% SMART stats. I guess possible, but I doubt it.

I had installed an old Unity version to dev a mod for KSP right before hand. I have an easier time believing that's related, what with all the old prerequisites it insisted on installing.

Do devices with only win 10 driver work in win 11?

 

[plastiscɧ]

Do devices with only win 10 driver work in win 11?

normally yes. they do. win11 is based on 10

can't remember i have plenty win11 drivers yet, with some excepts --

 

[windwhirl]

Do devices with only win 10 driver work in win 11?

Should work. Save some exceptions, all drivers written for 64-bit Windows 7 or any later 64-bit Windows should work with Windows 11.
