This worked very well for me. And for those that have problems with signing into work or school Microsoft account in the win 11 setup up; all you need to do is to downgrade to 2017 win 10 or win 8 and then sign in your Microsoft account. Then go ahead and follow the process in this video to upgrade back to win 11
It worked! Thank you so much!
Thank you. Very well explained.

thanks again Chris, for a spot on video. I reiterate my previous comment. All this security should be optional. Install it if you need or want it (and meet the hardware requirements), otherwise skip it. Much as I am not a fan of lawyers I'd like to see a case made against MS and the hardware vendors for collusion.
I totally agree.
Great video. Steps worked exactly as shown. No problems whatsoever.

Thanks for your time to create this thorough video. Is there an exact way to find out what version of windows 10 the pc has? (IE. English US vs English International)
Keep downloading and trying different versions until you find the right one.
Your video is the best video I have seen to update an unsupported PC to windows 11. I have a Lenovo T460s with Windows 10 Pro 22H2. I ran the PC health check and everything looks good except the processor is not supported. I have TPM 2.0, Secure boot and 12gb of memory. Planning to follow this method as this is just a surfing laptop. What happens when Microsoft has new security updates or newer version? Will I have to install them manually?
You're Welcome! It will install Security updates, but you may need to follow a guide like this for any future feature updates. If you haven't done so already please don't forget to subscribe to my TH-cam Channel, its Free and easy to do so and you will find out about all my latest videos.

It's really work thank you very much i want to upgrade to windows 11 for a long time now i can update my laptop thanks❤🎉
hi chris, just wanted to ask if do i need to reformat my PC since the Region or date and time are not a match from the choices in downloading the ISO file? Or is there other way to change the region manually or the admins are the one will be changing it for me??
thanks
Nice, an do you know if windows update will update without any issues this way ?
As before it should do security updates but no feature updates.
Hi Chris, do you know why copilot is not showing on unsupported pc’s? Is a general issue or behavior in that kind of pc’s? In my case, i have a valid region config but i don’t know why can’t activate it.😅. Also, i already tried the multiple “fixes” to force the activation of the feature but nothing works lol. Regards.
Co-pilot is not currently available in the EU so if you are in the EU this could be a reason, also co-pilot is not being used on muti monitor systems. It seems that some people on supported systems are also not getting co-pilot, its early days so hopefully should be out soon for everyone.
I can confirm that this is still working at the time today of December 18th, 2023! I just followed the instructions and now I have Windows 11 on my HP Zbook 15U G4 laptop! I have TPM and Windows 10 Pro on it default and it is recognized and on Windows 11 Pro. All legal too because I have my Microsoft account on it and it is all recognized by Microsoft! Thank you for this very helpful and detailed video! 👍🏼

Just upgraded my Windows 10 Boot Camp partition to Windows 11 (latest version Win11_23H2_Portuguese_x64v2.iso), on an iMac 27inch Late 2013 and everything went smoothly, all devices recognized, all apps installed on Windows 10 working now on Windows 11, including a version of MS Office 2016. Automatic updates are also working. So sad that the same is not possible with recent versions of macOS. Many thanks!

QQ: Why can't you just run the command from the mounted disk from the CLI? Not trying to be critical; very grateful for your hard work.
It would be difficult for me to explain to beginners the command lines needed as some would be on drive D: some would be E: etc at least if we manually copy the files to a folder on the C drive we are all using the same command line.
@@cwtek1 Aaaah, perfect sense. Great presentation btw.
This is complicated, why not go the easy "press shift-f10 during setup, set two registry keys AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU and LabConfig" way, as from day #1 of Windows 11? Is there something wrong with that way?
(By the way, even if you use this way you go here, you don't need to extract the files to an own directory, you can directly start from sources subdir in the mounted ISO file (doubleclick on ISO mounts it as a virtual CD drive on all current Windows versions).
Thanks for the tip but I prefer the way in the video and find it much easier and more official as this backdoor was obviously put in by Microsoft for a reason.
@@cwtek1Mmmh, the backdoor with the registry keys is much more clearly a backdoor intentionally put it. The way you go is put the setup program into Server installation. While it seems to still install Windows 11 client, there might be some things that are not obvious. For me this sounds more like a hack that can bring strange side effects :(...
well one way arround that is you could use lt as your daily software then setup a VM for windows software only you could also try using wine to run your basic scripts installing office on Wine plus VM is a good way of securing your system if you do move to Liynx windows will be off expect for updates every Tuesday unless you need it or you could just get a mac as well to try out the software compatibility you would need to setup a VM for Windows yes for access I have done this it works well you can hide the Microsoft desktop and have only the start menu or open the windows app right on the mac list of apps maybe lynx will have something like that too just a idea then you can play around to get basic to work as well
, if I was to setup a VM for my work stuff I would essentially be booting up two operating systems which would really slow things down. I wouldn't go down the Mac route as I like the flexibility of my pc's hardware and software, I have several drives in my PC and a Satellite Card also Video capture. Thanks for the tips but it sounds easier for me to just stay with Windows.
@@cwtek1 I had a hunch that's what this is as soon as I read System Information. Yes, as you say, things will be slower, plus if on a laptop, better bring your power brick or backup battery for long workdays. Or if one likes Windows 11, simply buy or build a new machine. Of course, it's impossible with most laptops, yet I see many at Costco on promo for as little as $599 plus taxes & any extra warranty. They double the OEM warranties on (most) computers & give a generous 90 day return period.
Still, this method may be a decent & free way to see how one likes Windows 11.👍
I was looking for a way to upgrade Windows 10 Pro 22H2 to 11 Pro 23H2 w/out any VM involved. Newer computers can do this w/out extra steps, just download the ISO, mount & after data backup, as well as Full disk image, then start the upgrade process. With an NVMe SSD in place, should be done inside of 30 minutes!💯
It brick my pc ! It was close to 100% instal then it restated and now am stuck in recovery mode and I can’t even reset my pc or repair it !
Going back in the BIOS I noticed it changed the boot order ! The disk on which windows was originally installed was in 2nd place ! Fixing the order fixed the issue 👍 !
I am glad you got it fixed.
thankyou .follow your way ,i tried set win11 on my laptop over 12 years after I đid many ways from other people but not succed

Thank . I done . My laptop work good on Win 11 sometime slow. I
want replace A8 3500m just 1,5 ghz by other AMD A8....? On HP dvz6 make it run better , if you know let help me . Thank
Many thanks for this video. Microsoft have deliberately made W10 buggy to force people to move to W11. The only problem I experienced after the W11 load was a lot of slowing with multiple windows open. I assumed this was caused by increased RAM usage by W11, so I spent $22 expanding my laptop to 16G and now it is fast.
I am glad you got your laptop back up to speed!
Very Nice

I have a 13 year old AMD FX 6100, 6 core, 3.3 which has been happily running on Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19045 and which dual boots with Ubuntu care of the CLOVER software (Clover operates from drive D: A permanently installed 256GB USB stick). The BIOS doesn't have UEFI, secure boot or TPM. Similarly, the BIOS does not support the M2 NVME (Drive C:, Windows is on C:) as a boot drive, but Clover does and it provides the NVME support courtesy of a permanently installed USB stick
I have over the past year downloaded and installed multiple Windows 10 updaters without incident or noticeable impairment of Windows or Clover.
Are any of the above complications likely cause problems with the Win_11 installation using the method depicted in your video ?
Also, I notice that my version of W10 runs on English Language UK ! i.e. not US or International . . . hmmm ?
I use this desktop just for playing around and experimentation (Being number three to two others) - there is no valuable or any personal data kept on this machine. Therefore, I am prepared to take a bit of risk as regards ne installations, but if problems can be avoided, then all to the good.
Postscript:
Transition all done, retaining all existing apps and files and including updates . . 3hours and 10 minutes door to door. . . and no issues along the way . . . fully automatic once the install process was set in motion. The discouraging thing is that its nearly as fast as the home built unit I replaced it with earlier this year.
OMG!!! thats really works.... and windows 11 run smootly on my laptop.....update all working...
I have a 23H2 that is about a month old and it came with Win11 new. Not sure if it's the specs or not: Dell 3535 AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, 64gb RAM, 2tb SSD. My processor was probably available 7 months ago when your video is dated, although still very expensive (half the cost of the laptop). I did reload Windows because I tried too much to remove bloatware and it crashed, but it loaded back up from the flash drive just fine (It's own copy, not from the web). Best I know is my laptop was made about 2 months ago, so maybe there's something about it that is different from the version you have. Money should make no difference, but to put it in a category, it was $900.
I have Win11 Home, but had the option of Pro. I chose the former because I don't network and it was $50 more. I used that $50 for another 1tb of space. 11 Pro does come with Bitlocker, but I don't care about that. From some tasks I've seen compared, 10 works slightly faster than 11. Even for an program like Photoshop, it loads as fast on both OSs. Most things cannot be determined as any different except for style between 10 and 11, except for another GB of space for 11. 11 did better on a few things, but not sure which, maybe connecting to the internet or something an eye-blink would miss.
I do like the look of 11; I needed something to get used to after my favorite, XP years ago. I used Classic Shell for all of them (all versions of Windows after XP) except 11, because I loved the look of XP so much. I have both 10 & 11, and prefer 11. But, if I had a laptop that was not compatible (according to Microsoft), I'd be okay with 10, because that is exactly my case. One has 10 Pro; one has 11 Home.
I like the simplicity of 11, but have no problem with 10. If I make major changes, like something Microsoft says not to, I ensure it's a unit I can afford to lose, yet make a backup USB from that unit (not the web). I know Microsoft can recommend anything they wish, and don't think I believe everything I hear. Since I have both, I have no incentive to change the Win10, I just use the other unit. The Win10 laptop s basically a backup or a travel unit. But, there isn't that much difference in performance to make any difference and some people are annoyed at the look of 11 (the Start menu), but I like it. It isn't "better", but as Spock would say, it is "interesting".
Oh, and guess what? "AI" had nothing to do with what I just typed with my own hands! It would have no clue of my finding Mr. Spock, "fascinating". LOL! Some things will not change.
Thanks for the video!
Brilliant upgrade. It's turned my slow laptop using win10 into an efficient machine again. How has that happened?
During the upgrade it does give windows a refresh, enjoy your speedy system!
fresh install..
Reinstalling windows 10 would have most likely had the same effect.
This is great!💯💯💯
Hopefully will work with Haswell (UEFI) Z97 system with i7-4790K, 32GB DDR3-2400 XMP RAM & EVGA GTX 1070 FTW & Win 10 Pro x64 22H2!👍💪🙏 If not, not the end of the World, also have been using Linux Mint since 2009, before Cinnamon was available.
One thing I seen after upgrade, if one has a backup drive (& should! have), KEEP the downloaded ISO there in case a repair source is required. Have had to run repair installs a few times since Windows 8 was released, am the one in the family everyone comes to for PC repair, be it Malware cleanup or an upgrade gone bad. As usual, none keeps a backup & have given most a drive built myself & installed software, then showed how to use it all.🤣
BTW, is this a VirtualBox install, looks to be so in System Information? Reason I ask, have found the free VMWare Workstation to be better in some ways, at least when running VM's on Linux. Plus Windows 8 & upwards has Hyper-V, of course the newer the PC, the better with this option. The other issue being, although Microsoft touted Hyper-V as a main "feature" of Windows 8 in late 2012, they never provided the straight instructions for creating these machines like they did with "boot to vhd" with Windows 7 Ultimate (where Hyper-V came from, only simpler). No wonder we got the upgrade for $40 (some of us only $15 with recent purchase, no proof required). Then they took out Live TV away, although gave us free Media Center COA's.
This will be interesting & will try it, although I believe some instructions (regarding physical or Virtual Box by Oracle) has been left out during the breaks in video.🤣🤣🤣 And will be back to report how things went before leaving a final review.👍 I want to leave a fair one for everyone, to include Chris, the creator of this video.

My existing w10 home installation has English (United Kingdom) as the installed language. I did not find this as an option to download the iso file. I chose English (International), but when trying to run "server" setup, the "keep files, settings, and apps" option is grayed out. Do you know how I can proceed?
Try and see if English United States works.
@@cwtek1 Thank you, it worked.
In passing, I did not have the "mount" option on the context menu when right clicking the iso, but using "open with" File Explorer was successful.
@@MrNmitch17 Can you still use English (United Kingdom) keyboard settings with the United States edition?
Hi Chris, downloaded office 2021, but after a few weeks, the windows key window has returned. Have you got a way round this?
Hi I followed your steps but I only got options of keep personal files only or nothing and the option of keeping app files and setting is greyed out so can you help in fixing this please thanks
12:45
Thanks for point to the part of the video where I answered this question.
before i update i jus have 2 options that is "keep personal files only'' and "nothing". the problem is why i cant "keep my files,settings,and apps". And what should i do to fix cant keep files,settings,and apps ?
Watch the video @ 6:15 for an explanation of why this is.

will it work if i do it now or things changed
sorry for intrusion im new subscriber

Bro you are the best off all time
This a a copy of what I typed as a comment on your previous video, because unfortunately, the upgrade failed for me (as it has with all the previous methods I have tried). Essentially, at the very beginning of the install, it sits there for a while saying "Checking your PC". Mine fails at this point with the same error I always get: Windows Server Setup is the title, then "Sorry, we're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows Server. Please close Setup and try again." This is a 2015 Dell XPS with an i7 processor and 8GB. BTW - I have been in IT for 35 years, so no newbie. Any ideas?
There does seem to be a few people having this problem upgrading to Windows 11 in general try Googling
Sorry, we're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows 11. Please close Setup and try again.
Hopefully one of these resolutions may help.
Thanks!
Thank you I am glad this helped and thanks for the donation!
Ever had a problem where the admin cmd prompt the keyboard doesn't work? I tried the recommendations and nothing works.
I have not had that myself, left click on the black box to ensure the cmd prompt box is selected. you could always try copying and pasting the command.
Well if you set it up correctly it will not if you stay under half for cpu meaning 12 core give it 8 cpus stay under half same for ram at 64 go give it 24 or 16 go this will not slow you down I have vms going all day on my main rig set host as primary if you have a 24 gb card or 2 cards give one to the vm or split it
Thanks for the tip.
@byrd203 This is what I was asking about above, I didn't see in video where VirtualBox is needed!🥵 Figured someone in comments would bring it up & this must be why we cannot just mount the drive & begin install (or the commands doesn't work that way). Will still try it, but prefer WMWare Workstation (Free) over VBox.
I also don't look forward to giving up so much RAM & CPU cores, there were no 8 core/16 thread options for the Z97 chipset. For X99, there's that many, plus 40 lanes for extra NVMe SSD's (3rd gen). 2 cores from my i7-4790K & 12GB of my 32GB XMP DDR3-2400 will slow my PC & use a lot of power. The native OS still must be booted for VirtualBox to run. There should be a setup like Wubi offered for XP to install Ubuntu, Linux Mint & other popular Linux distros inside of the native OS, yet both OS's had their own boot option (NOT a VM).💯
Does not work for me :(. The first time I did it it came back with an error saying could not update windows and crashed, then rolled back and gave an error which apparently was related to not enough disk space. I cleaned up a heap of drive space to get 100gb of free space and ran the process again, but now the install does not run at all. It starts seeing if my computer is ready and then instead of bringing up the big blue window, it just closes out and thats as far as it'll go.
It sounds like your windows 10 is either not compatible due to software or drivers or your 10 has a corruption which is preventing the upgrade.
May want to open CMD as Administrator (while on Win 10) & run SFC /SCANNOW. Be sure to hit the space bar once after typing SFC (or copy/paste the command). Good Luck!👍

My PC is set to English UK but the ISO download only gives the options for English (US) or English International. What do I do?
Administrator command prompt "C\win11>cd sources" seems to have changed.
This prompt says " The system
cannot find the path specified."
love your voice :D
Thanks!
While this of overall some good information, it seems wise to not follow through with upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 on a PC that has hardware that is deemed incompatible.
In my particular instance, my HP laptop has indicated that my Ryzen 5 2500u processor is not compatible with Windows 11.
This should still work even if you’re processor is incompatible, however as the video warns running 11 on incompatible hardware could cause issues in the future.
if i copy the iso to a different internal drive can i set it up as a duel boot sytem of win10 and win11? please
No this is an upgrade, if you setup as dual boot you will not be able to activate Windows 11
@@cwtek1 hmm that’s a shame. Thank you for replying 🙂
The system hibernated during install for 24 hours during install. tapped the Start Button lightly and off it went installing server /win 11. For a moment I thought Chris W was an AI no offence. Thorough :)

Any suggestions?
Please try restarting your PC (actually restart do not shutdown) then try again.
@@cwtek1 I got the solution, the Bios needed upgrade after that all went very well., thanks. You doing awesome.
Problem is if its unsupported (an old machine) it runs very slowly and I'm not sure it's worth the effort as such - just my 2p
If your machine has a Solid State Drive a good processor such as a Intel Core i3 or i5 and 8gb Ram then it should run really well, just as good as Windows 10.
And win 11 is not good… What so ever…
@@AllanGyllingOlsen Windows 11 is really Windows 10 under the bonnet.
@@cwtek1 Apart from all the added security and having to sign in to microsoft. Too bloated for me, will stick with win10 I think.
@@davewallace5008 You can get around signing in with a Microsoft account on Windows 11, the latest versions of 10 also try to force you to have an MS account on setup.
Hi Chris my LG was upgrade but lost his touch screen because HID driver not working, is there any solution for it??
I am afraid I have no idea, but if anyone else knows, please feel free to post a resolution!
I am trying to install within windows 11 but it says “we can’t tell if your PC is ready to continue installing Windows server…
Please Restart your computer (do not shutdown) actually restart it then try again.
@@cwtek1tried restart several times but still same error all the time…any other solution pls ?
@@sajida7305 I think you may need to clean install Windows 10 and then try upgrading to 11.
Great video. Went through all steps letter for letter but.. get almost to the end and "Making sure you're ready to install" and just spins, been going 4 hours while i went to work?? Any ideas?
Please try restarting your computer, actually restart do not shut down then try again!
Thanks, will give it a go@@cwtek1
I had same problem - tried several times, restarted and so on. Finally went for the clean install (deep breath) option and ......bingo! It works. Thanks for very clear instructions.
not working
window just closes after "Making sure you're ready to install"...
Try restarting your computer and try again (do not shutdown actually click restart)
Sorry to say this did not work for me, tried both your videos and set keyboard, and other settings in apps to match English us but none let me keep files, setting and apps. pitty.
Try downloading English international, it's not checking your current language settings it needs to match the language version of windows that was originally installed.
14:19 i don't see this part pop up.
when keep file done 100% then it start disappears.
Try restarting your computer click start then power then click restart, do not click shutdown actually click restart.
So, I won't receive any updates from Microsoft anymore?
Isn't it possible to do the update directly from the mounted iso, without copying the entire contents to disk?
Yes you could the main reason I went through copying and pasting to a folder is so that everyone uses the same command, if it’s on a mounted iso the some may need to run it from d:\ some E:\ etc, too confusing for beginners.
I'll wait for Win 12 and see if they lift the restiction to sell more software when there done trying to sell more hardware with this one.
I am not sure they will lift restrictions as they say the restrictions are for security. Not sure I agree but there you go!
still scare .. is this working .. bcause i using i7 7700k z270 motherboard with SLi brige gtx1080.. plz help me is this method working well?
The reports I am getting is this is working well on many systems.
I5 5th gen 16GB ram tpm 1.2 can run windows 11 smoothly 😊
That's great news!
I get to the screen with the heading " Making sure you are ready to install" and then it disappears and the screen with the -update Windows Server Setup - the screen is gone. (at 14:12 in this video) Rebooted and it happened again. Now I'm stuck - machine is Dell 8920 with Intel Core i7 7700 running Windows 10 home
Went back and ran the setup from iso and is now upgrading. I checked the registry and had a value for AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
I am glad its working now.
Now, if you or someone else could just come up with a "make win 10 fonts work like win7" I'd be glad to pay for that. Win 11 seems to be better than 10 in this regard but I'm not ready to mass deploy it in my office just yet. I've used all the addon font changer products and I'm unsatisfied with all of them.
I hadn’t really noticed the difference with the fonts myself.
it's not really the fonts it's the scaling. win11 is a little better in this regard but the devs keep screwing around changing things that don't need changing. i saw your video on start 11 so, maybe i will try it. the more i use win10, the less I like it. it's only thanks to people like you that i'm able to maintain any semblance of sanity.😁
Wait. How did you get away with this without doing regedit and creating entries to skip TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, etc. Check???
Some clever person found a back door!
@@cwtek1 You are right. Why the heck am I worrying about it when it works 🙂
What I would really like to do is try same trick on a Mac Laptop which has Windows 10
My processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz, but I have TPM support and also secure boot. Is it gonna work?
It should work, it did on mine.
Do you have any issues? Are Windows 11 stable ?Do you still have updates?@@cwtek1
do you have a way to go from win11 21H2 to win 11 23H2?
Yes video coming tomorrow. Please make sure you subscribe so you are notified when it’s released.
It's worked (Win1122H2 to Win1123H2)
My system reboots after initial reboot to the black screen Windows updates, my system BSODs to an error code: Failed in FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation
Any suggestion on this error?
I have not encountered this error before it might be an idea to google it.
@cwtek1 Your instructions are easy to follow. Seems like old migration user profiles are stopping the upgrade. More tidying up to do, then keep trying. It's an old AMD-8120 FX project PC so nothing critical. Great video instruction!
@@user-lu4qm3cs8i Thanks I hope you get to the bottom of this.
If you upgraded a non-supported PC to Windows 11, and Microsoft then put on an update that killed the PC, couldn’t you just reinstall Windows 10?
Yes you could but you would need to backup your files to an external device reinstall Windows 10 from Scratch, then reapply your files and programs and also settings, as there is no downgrade path.
It no longer works. Comes back saying this computer doesn not meet..... :-(
I am sorry to hear that, some people are saying it still works for them and some not.
did not work, after first reboot my pc whas back on 22h2
Sounds like there is a problem with your system, others facing this problem have resolved the problem by updating their drivers and bios.
This is just temporary trick, because Windows will show you message (bottom right) computer not supported. Similar if Windows not activated.
I have not seen this message on any of the machines I have installed this on and you are the first person I know to mention it, have you got this message?
@@cwtek1 maybe just bad luck. Next time i'll do screenshot with it.
@@sigitasn That would be great if you can get a screenshot, I assume the message has disappeared for now?
@@cwtek1no, i reinstalled to Windows 10.
This doesn't work on windows "home" version. No "mount" option.....
just open iso file with some other software like winrar and unpack it with it
Will it work from 8.1?
I don't think so!
shift + delete much faster for deleting files
Yes just trying to keep it as simple as possible.
@@cwtek1this workaround was already killed by MS in build 25977.1000
Sir ji 🙏 help to upgrade windows 7 x86 into windows 10
Unfortunately Microsoft have removed the upgrade path for Windows 7 to 10 back in September.
there used to be an extended period as a dissability user from win7 to win10. maybe you could research to see if that method still work
@@balbie29 Unfortunately this has ended too.
So why would anyone want to put windows 11 on there machine as microsoft havent been able to make a vertion of windows that actually works properly since windows xp home, never mind the updates and gigabytes of free space wasted then lost when doing it ???????? but the worst part is the updates , constantlly on windows ten every night my computer tries to download and update my machine even after ive tried every way to stopit updateing to the extent i just use my tablet online more than my computer
If you have a SSD drive windows 10 and 11 are not bad, most things can be done on a tablet now but there are a few things you still need a PC for!
Because windows 10 is going to die so being able to at least force devices to windows 11 may be needed for security in 2025
I updated to 11 on an unsupported PC .. the system did not impress me .. a lot of unnecessary rubbish .. rolled back, version 10 is the best
They are changing Windows 11 all the time it. Keep an eye on it hopefully it will be better for you soon.
The best upgrade for any Windows system, is Linux Mint 👍🤣
Until you want to use access databases or an excel spreadsheet with macros or Visual Basic code that you share with work colleagues then you’re stuffed. Until the day come that Linux is 100% compatible with Windows users I’m staying with Windows.
AMEN! Have been running Linux Mint since 2007, or the 7th version, named Gloria.👍 Have it installed as a dual boot on 2 computers & a standalone OS on a couple of machines designed to run Vista 64 bit. Love the fact that it's naturally compatible with 15+ year old 64 bit computers (XP 64 bit Pro & newer). As well as on the newer models too, and don't have to wait 3 weeks for important updates.💯
Although I never did because didn't have to, there's ways to install some MS software like Office via WINE. Skype installs naturally from their software depositories, as does lots of apps that runs on Windows & Mac. Same browsers too, although never tried installing Edge on Linux Mint, that one uses more resources than Chrome.🤣
