"They are so rare, even ASUS only had one in their office. So I brought my own" - Anthony. When the component is so rare even manufacturers don't have it, Anthony does.
I recently (9/8/23) decided to I wanted to break out my ThinkPad W520, bought in 2010 and running Windows 7. Missed the Windows10 upgrade window, and the Windows11 upgrade from Windows10 so bought a flash drive direct from Microsoft with Windows11 Home. Used the LabConfig regedit as described, and was able to install with no issues! 👌 Internet connection was required at the end, though I was fine with this and did not try to bypass. Microsoft Account is bypassable by entering invalid email and password. You’ll then be prompted to create a local account. Seriously works like a charm and OS runs well. Thank you Linus for your Tech Tips!
Me too, I have actually just bought a new pc, certainly not for W11 and Microsoft's bullshitbut because my CPU was 7 years old and I wanted to treat myself to something newer. I'll stick with w10 thanks.
Same. I’ll just wait till a cpu and motherboard has all this activated when I do a new build. I need to upgrade in about a year or two so hopefully everything is worked out by then.
Im using windows 8.1…and thinking to upgrade to windows 10. I have nothing against windows 11 but i think window 10 will be more stable than window 11 with bugs
Computer science is now so large, one person cannot know everything. Linus and his team are expert on testing new hardware and in Windows management. I am sure you have computer expertise where they would have a hard time.
Kudos Linus and your team: Your genius swap the .esd file from an 11 to a 10 installation USB even worked on my iMac i9 and created a bootable external SSD for Windows 11 on my iMac 27" i9 which already has an external Win 10 SSD. The Booted 11 also picked up the license I have for 10 on that Mac once I signed into my MS account after the installation. I'd gone with No Product Key assuming I'd be stuck at a trial version, but no... My iMac is now fully licensed 11 and updating like a champ.
Bold of you to assume that I want windows 11, it all depends on how important direct storage ends up being. But I will stay in LTSC as long as possible
Thank you this is what I needed I been build PCs since I was a teen (39 now) but I never knew I could switch from legacy to UEFI so easily. I had it on legacy trying to get an old SAS card running that didn't work out, and never thought it would be a problem.
It's important to note that they may impose the Virtualization-based Security (VBS) in Windows 11 without giving us the option to disable it and that will slowdown PCs with older hardware
PC user here with a 6th gen intel platform I have performed an in-place upgrade of my current PC using the windows 10 installer method. as in using the windows 11 data. most of my apps still work at the time of writing this comment, and does not require re-installation. the ISO files were obtained using the respective media creation tools of both versions. THANKS LINUS AND ANTHONY
@@davkdavk It's about security rather than performance. Apple breaks old hardware compatibility regularly and no-one cares. When Microsoft makes a change that won't automatically support 9 year old hardware, people are outraged.
They're just repeating Microsoft's own marketing shpiel ad nauseum, but I'm fairly certain it was said in a joking manner, as Windows isn't exactly very secure
@@Grimmwoldds i assume it will be more like new motherboards will come with the tpm module included so the average user won't have to worry about those things
@@gamingdragon1356 no win 10 was definitely claimed to be the last one, time changes everything but did not expect to go back to new iteration releases so soon, thought they would wait at least 15 years before changing back to the old way.
@@TRLTheRandomLab I'm sorry you've been misinformed. The system requirements are actaully an always connected internet with your Webcam actually on at all times along with optional data now being required along with our bloatware to make your system work 😂 also forgot that you'll need a 5D card and probably a sim card as well so we can track your location easily.
In a time of chip shortages and environmental concerns, I wish Microsoft would open up compatibility for win 11! Surely having more older machines supported means improved device longevity and recycling plus better access for those of more limited funds, especially in the current economy! Surely a simple setting to install but with a "less secure" warning would be enough for normal users plus, by stressing security, it would give more leverage to convince large corporate partners to invest in the modern hardware. But oh well, what do I know, I'm no software exec!
I just don't get how MS can't install Win 11 and ask the user if they wish to enable TPM for better security and warn them of vulnerabilities should they choose not to. It would be more efficient, people could upgrade and if 11 is better than 10, more people would be grateful (until the next update that will surely botch something of significant importance).
What sucks about this you'll have to reinstall Windows 11 after each new version and you also would just be better off getting another computer or just put Linux on their
1:35 and suddenly, the day just got brighter with Anthony in it...Linus and Anthony need to push this duo further and make it a staple in the youtube community. So much untapped potential!!!
I have four Dell 790 MT computers, each with an i7, 16GB ram, 8tb SSD and a GTX-1660. They're a decade old but can still run everything I need them to. They even hold their own in terms of gaming. So sick of MS trying to find sneaky ways to force or trick people into thinking they have to buy new hardware.
All praise Anthony, you don’t know how long I have searched for a way to covert legacy to UEFI without costly software. And all this time Microsoft has it built in with command prompt that they don’t seem to ever mention on their own support page or hides it intentionally.
That hopefully nobody will be going back to when they finally say enough the the BS Microsoft and switch to Linux or another OS. I know I'm done after this.
Microsoft "You require this security." Linus "Here is a work around." My Wife" I want my computer working now, I don't have time for a work around, just leave it at Windows 10."
Honestly - fair enough. Official support for Windows 10 is to 2025 and chances are that they'll extend the patching support like they did for Windows 7...
I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I realize how late this is but I just successfully finished the installation process on my pc, which took about a WEEK to complete, but it feels really good to be over😅
@@Fictus_Rex But... There's no issue with the i7-8700k. It's got both TPM2 and Secure Boot so it's on the good list for Windows 11. In fact, I think ALL of the 8th gen Intel CPUs are on the good list. But there could be one or two outliers that are not...
@@NippyNep Clearly you don't understand how sarcasm works... When you talk about a generation of processor that just barely makes the cut and say it doesn't, that's easily taken as someone not knowing the truth and a correction is just someone helping out. So mocking that correction is just being an ass. When you instead say that a very new generation,10th gen for instance, is not supported and someone doesn't get that you're clearly being sarcastic, THEN it's fair to do some mocking.
I'm about to build my own computer, one thing I need to complete the project, a reliable flawless external BD/DVD drive, through out your profession and experience, cause frankly, I made my searches, hundreds showed, with positive and negative reviews, which made me confused what to pick, so I would appreciate and value your recommendation, thank you.
When I started with Linux I watched a Channel completely dedicated to make the switch easier. I just have hope that if LTT does this it gets more views and more people really try switching to it.
@@oldbot64 for the average computer user the OS makes no difference because they spend 90% of their time sitting in the browser. Linux is the best option for those people, when you consider price and security and speed. If you’re a gamer, windows is still better for now.
Very good idea. I just didn't switch to Linux because I didn't want to bother re-installing all programs, having to find alternatives, get workarounds for some games that don't work on Linux etc... A dedicated mini series with Anthony explaining every step would be a very good idea
Tecnicly we have another way to make the install. Using Diskpart to prep the target drive and using DISM to apply the windows image, and not forgetting to configure the boot. That's how I did with my surface 3 with 2 GB of ram and works just fine.
There's another way to get past the Microsoft account requirement for setting up windows 11 if you already set it up on the Wi-Fi or connected to the internet it will prompt you to put in a email to use for a Microsoft account if you just put garbage@garbage.com and then hit enter and then type in a garbage password it will just shove you to create a local account
Or do what I did... Bring up task manager and then blindly open CMD and type in the commands to disable the wireless card. The window is hidden behind the setup window (or was on Win 10 last time I did it) so you can't actually see what you're typing.
Is that an actual local account? Because if not, and you're simply signing up with a "random" email you don't control, this is a known security flaw. Now whoever controls garbage@garbage.com can use password reset to steal your stuff. Context: I recall a story where a hacker realized he could just register "do-not-reply@somewhere.com" and get a bunch of random emails that were sent there, and used these leads to gain further credentials. (This is because some companies would send emails with that bogus address as their 'reply' address, so they wouldn't have to ever receive emails to stuff not meant to be replied to. But if the user actually replied, including having it on CC, then this unintentionally leaks email communication to whoever controlled that bogus address)
Honestly coming from my experience in university, requiring a hardware update for continued support is really a God send for end users of certain large businesses and governments. It may be the only way to force the replacement of entrenched hardware.
I kinda agree with you. Even though many systems are possible to update, it definitely should be considered when it's really time to just ditch the hardware. Just recently answered one forum question where one was asking that what Linux should he use for his 512mb machine, with hdd to use "good working order laptop" as a browser machine 🤦 Sometimes it's just better to leave or donate that hardware for retro usage and go on.
@@nachikethass1 it's a slight dig at Microsoft. The implication is Windows could be better. It's extra "spicy" coming from Anthony, lol. You have to have been around to know Anthony is a "nuts and bolts kinda guy" and has his criticisms of Windows. I happen to agree with some.
Just installed Windows 11 on my Xeon e3-1231 v3 with an H97M motherboard. Thanks to this video, I was able to get it done very easily. Thank you Linus and Anthony.
Hi bro after 8 month is this workaround working ? Updates work ? Stability? Am concerned cuz soon I'll buy e5 v4 xeon 🌝 for my server / FHD GAMING SETUP
@@santo313 After 8 Months there has been quite a few windows updates, patches and fixes. So far so good. My system is stable and performing well with ZERO issues. The Xeon E5 V4 family is newer than my E3 V3 so you should be perfectly fine. Let me know once you get your setup going and report back if you run into any issues.
I will buy a new PC when I am in the need of a new PC. Also I "can" install windows 11 on my system but I don't need windows 11 at this time. Don't need to fix something that is not broken.
Exactly right, no rush, this just like un update to windos 10, i would wait til they fix what ever bugs it might have, i thing its going to have better security and better interference.
I ran the compatibility tool and it said all I had to do was change the tpm setting but Im not doing it either. Windows 10 is good for me until we get forced to change...
@Thai-Tung Nguyen There's always bugs when a new OS comes out, which is why I will wait till I'm forced into 11, I hate 10 so am in no hurry since I was able to make it look like Win7 with classic shell. Win10 is definitely slower than 7, makes older pc's unusable.
If they start, controlling what you're allowed to install and not allowed to install like how Mac OS does, then I'm simply getting to switch back to Linux, because f off Microsoft
Exactly. I'd rather stay with windows 10 and if they implement restrictions I'll adapt to Linux I converted my windows 7 to Manjaro and I love the interface and how light it is.
Can confirm. This still works! I have an ASUS ROG G750JZ that doesn't have TPM and the last BIOS update for the laptop, was back in 2014 or 2015... Needless to say.. Downloading the windows ISO, making the config changes did it for me. IMO... It's just easier doing a fresh install...
Honestly I kinda get it, for business environments we use TPM built into all our machines for security purposes. Having native support for this on every machine going forward makes sense in terms of security. Also this last year has been a massive change in the world in terms of security. So many things have happened which affected the future of technology. Now we need to go way beyond 60% more secure on systems.. we need better security.
@@DukeNukemFl "bUt mY g@MiNG riG fR0m 1984 caN't iNstA11 iT!" I'm exaggerating a bit but everyone is complaining that what they have can't run it and will have to be thrown away despite that missing the point of what's going on entirely. They just want it because it's new and want exceptions for their systems despite the fact their build defeats the purpose of W11. I'm biased because I bought a new laptop but even if I was on 8 I'd basically still be using PC the same way.
@@edwardhoffenheim3249 true, but I don't think that will entirely be the point of it.. the average household user doesn't typically get attacked by malware unless they stumble across something online.. it's honestly pretty hard to do so still. Where as business and corporate environments have versions of windows the majority of the public probably wouldn't even know about, I don't think this is meant for those people. It's probably meant for system admins and companies who want advanced security... I get this working in IT for a large company, but at home on my gaming laptop.. couldn't really care less about it. I'm not torrenting or downloading weird files from online even.
@@DukeNukemFl I don't see the point about caring about the new windows at all for regular consumers. Especially the complaints. It's mostly a cosmetic change for the majority of people. Everyone making articles on TMP kinda just inflates demand and gives the illusion that it's critical when the reality is most people didn't even need windows 10. I see people getting along fine with windows 8 or even 7. The only reason I was hyped for windows 10 is because I thought windows phone was gonna be a thing and I was young and thought it could give speed boost and I did get hype points for having it in my friend group. But meh, I guess it's just content creators using free/easy content to generate clicks and views.
This video shows how to make "Most secure Windows to date" not secure. If you take specific actions to compromise your OS installation, it's kind of your problem.
Been using Ubuntu and Manjaro for many years as my daily drivers. Two things to consider... 1) Windows 11 is looking more and more like one huge pain in the rear end. 2) Valve is working with games providers to resolve anti-cheat issues in Proton. I'm thinking that these two factors alone could lose Microsoft an awful lot of customers. That said, it's pretty clear that M$ has no interest in supporting users with older hardware. Nobody, except maybe the most technically minded, is going to bother jumping through all of these hoops to upgrade from Windows 10.
The fact that you can bypass the requirements is intentional. That way they insure as much computers as possible use their new OS. They always have used similar kind of tactics.
Maybe also an attempt to make people throw out their old pc's for new ones. Pcs are becoming too good so they're trying to nerf the hardware to make people upgrade. Once I've got more time I'll start learning linux and maybe do a complete switch once im good at it
Its quite easy to make a bootable USB and install W11 on unsupported hardware. I have even upgraded my 2012 Acer laptop. I just hope that unsupported hardware will get windows updates till W11 end of life :)
Windows 11's restrictions, annoyances with navigating to basic system functions and ABSURD system requirements were the final nails in the coffin for me, I'll be switching to Linux soon, most likely Mint.
This is all fine and dandy, but the required Microsoft Account still bothers me. Nobody accidentally runs a local account on Windows 10, they do it because it's what they want.
What is worse is that sometimes Microsoft Windows will sign in to a Microsoft Account without the user's consent. I had to blast them on their Feedback App on Windows 10 a few times.
We therefore commit this body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust... And back to back with a word of our sponsor, Raid: Shadow Legends!
Well if you are signed into your Microsoft account (as opposed to a local account), your recovery keys are automatically backed up in the cloud in case you need it. You WERE using a Microsoft account to sign into Windows, right? RIGHT?
Hey, remember when you could get a piece of software and do what you wanted with it, without the company imposing a bunch of restrictions and attaching a digital leash to it?
@@Tainami_ Back in the 80s, about the only restrictions were common sense related to copyright. You couldn't make copies and sell them/give them away, or buy one copy and install it on 100 computers at a factory. Other than that, you could do pretty much what you wanted. Buy a word processor and use it for your business? Sure. Crack the protection for your own person use? A-OK. In fact, companies used to sell "Parameter" copiers specifically designed to make working copies of other commercial software, sometimes removing the protection to make the disk easier to copy. Companies would release software with various types of "copy protection" (DRM) and hope it was enough to keep people from pirating their software. Just like today, it wasn't. But this was the early days of computers, so none of this "You must go online to activate this software" or "Connection to server lost, game paused" crap that we're stuck with today. Companies also didn't stop you from using the software on any system you wanted. Programs had minimum requirements listed on the box, but if you wanted to try installing it on a system that didn't meet the specs, you were free to do so.
No. Because unless you were a software engineer in the 70s or early 80s, proprietary software with strings attached has always existed. And yes. Because FOSS still exists and is a pretty good option (albeit, it can't cover 100% of use cases)
Make sure that you read what you're clicking. Optional diagnostic data. Includes what websites you browse etc. Windows 11 thank you. I am installing Linux now
Thank you for the in-depth dive and the “why” behind the change. I’m that guy with all new gear and it took 30 seconds to toggle the TPM setting in my BIOS however I enjoyed learning all the walkthroughs and work arounds. Also I bought that dope ass hard disk T-shirt you where sporting today.
@@jasonjtg21 Huh? I have the latest gear.... Ryzen 5950x, 3700x, and added a 5800x and Gigabyte X570 Master--those two aren't in a PC yet. Neither the X470 Gaming 7 or the X570 Aorus Ultra have the ability to turn on TPM in the BIOS, which in each mb is the latest. Unless I'm missing something. Don't need W 11 anyhow. I didn't watch this video closely...maybe later.
@@CarlosIvanFocus If you built it new back then an use Windows 10, why did you not enable UEFI? And you probably do have an fTPM or Intel equivalent that's just disabled
That's a myth created by history revisionists. I see people all over combine and ignore Windows releases to make the data fit their curve. If you are unsure about stability, it is best to wait for the first service pack (Vista SP1) or incremental update (8.1).
My old Thinkpad T430 wasn't able to install Win 11. But it was wrecked some days ago. Now my "new" Thinkpad T460s can is able to run Win 11. It's a used PC ,again, and from 2017.
Oh, I cringed when you said "mbr2gpt" I recently lost my whole boot partition to that thing. Your partitions have to be laid out just right and you have to have enough free space, else when it fails, it doesn't fail gracefully and I couldn't find any utilities that actually could fix it. =P
EaseUS has a great tool that will do everything from repair MBR, GPT, converting back and forth, and moving OS and Boot to other drives seperately or together. It's fairly quick at doing those things as well. I've used it on several occasions.
@@alistairblaire6001 Totally agree. I was also waiting for the backup warning. But actually it should be at the start of the video. You never know if that update to W11 will work or not.
I tried this conversion before and it told me there wasn't enough space. So then I tried to expand the available space and despite having a ton of storage space to play with, the option to change the size was grayed out stating there was zero space to expand. So to POTENTIALLY get Windows 11 I'll have to fresh install my OS in UEFI mode. Not a huge deal, there's nothing important physically on my Drives that isn't synced to the cloud. Just a pain in the ass. My CPU has a form TPM and I have a Secure Boot option, but neither can be enabled because my PC was setup in Legacy. 😥😥😥😥
why would MS care? win11 is still in beta (i.e. insider preview), which 99% of people aren't a part of. they can very easily patch all of this stuff if they want to.
Remember the last time they said "the most secure windows ever"? That was windows 2000, which had to have 4 service packs just to be anywhere close to secure.
Today you can bypass all of this. I installed Windows 11 on my Dell Latitude 3540 Laptop using the latest release of Rufus to make the install USB. You can remove all the TPM and CPU requirements and a MS account at the beginning of that process. Took me about 30 minutes.
@@juanma9868 We are 4 months from release my guess is be the time windows 11 is released it will be a little more difficult then changing a registry key
I got this in my feed in 2024. Now the easiest way is to create a USB with Rufus and once it detects a win11 ISO you should have options to remove TPM/Secure Boot checks
@@1pcfred that it does. its better every time, but i still haven't made the transition. its going to take making windows worse to do it. also vms are really good now so i can still run all my legacy windows software. ive had a lot of luck with raspian on the pi, and that little useless sbc has taught me more about linux than any of the linux classes ive had.
@@LordOfNihil if you want to run Windows software then your best bet is to run Windows. Linux is not Windows. People hoping to replace Windows with Linux are disappointed. People seeking an alternative to Windows may find Linux acceptable. The difference is subtle but real.
I think I might just stick with Windows 10 till my next pc upgrade. Seems like a lot less hassle. Of course I have to wait for graphics cards to become a thing that's available at a realistic price so we're talking years here, but that should just give them time to work out the worst of the Win 11 bugs. Hopefully, unless we're talking another Win ME or Vista.
Maybe they are scared of this windows being like vista and being hated on because it's too slow so they limit it to higher end hardware for that reason?
@@staz3014 you can install these devbuilds on your PC bit once the actual release happens you won't be able to update to it You'll either be stuck on a dev build or have to go back to windows 10
I work IT and our senior tech officer PXE booted windows 11 on machines as old as i5-3540's, we got some old core 2 duos laying around were gonna try those
@@Beryesa. I doubt MS actually cares. As Linus said their goal here to make the average user more secure (and keep up with Apple on that front). If users are willing to bypass those requirements then any issues that arise out of that choice is on the user.
Ehhhh not likely - Think about it, Windows 7's ahem "accquisitional methods" were unbypassable by Microsoft, Windows 10's is fairly easy to bypass, but no idea why you should bother, being as Windows 10 is free, Windows 11 is just an evolved Windows 10 with more restrictions and more spyware

Was that a breaking bad reference?
In a time of chip shortages and environmental concerns, I wish Microsoft would open up compatibility for win 11! Surely having more older machines supported means improved device longevity and recycling plus better access for those of more limited funds, especially in the current economy! Surely a simple setting to install but with a "less secure" warning would be enough for normal users plus, by stressing security, it would give more leverage to convince large corporate partners to invest in the modern hardware. But oh well, what do I know, I'm no software exec!
I just don't get how MS can't install Win 11 and ask the user if they wish to enable TPM for better security and warn them of vulnerabilities should they choose not to. It would be more efficient, people could upgrade and if 11 is better than 10, more people would be grateful (until the next update that will surely botch something of significant importance).
What sucks about this you'll have to reinstall Windows 11 after each new version and you also would just be better off getting another computer or just put Linux on their
Windows 10 11 works is they go out of support after 18 to 24 months with each new version
To me, it's fine if one needs 1min expertise to circumvent. Still, now, it's only one registry change so not a big deal.

Tecnicly we have another way to make the install. Using Diskpart to prep the target drive and using DISM to apply the windows image, and not forgetting to configure the boot. That's how I did with my surface 3 with 2 GB of ram and works just fine.
There's another way to get past the Microsoft account requirement for setting up windows 11 if you already set it up on the Wi-Fi or connected to the internet it will prompt you to put in a email to use for a Microsoft account if you just put garbage@garbage.com and then hit enter and then type in a garbage password it will just shove you to create a local account
Or do what I did... Bring up task manager and then blindly open CMD and type in the commands to disable the wireless card. The window is hidden behind the setup window (or was on Win 10 last time I did it) so you can't actually see what you're typing.
@@Pyroteq this is cool, but I like the main comment's idea more.
Is that an actual local account? Because if not, and you're simply signing up with a "random" email you don't control, this is a known security flaw. Now whoever controls garbage@garbage.com can use password reset to steal your stuff. Context: I recall a story where a hacker realized he could just register "do-not-reply@somewhere.com" and get a bunch of random emails that were sent there, and used these leads to gain further credentials. (This is because some companies would send emails with that bogus address as their 'reply' address, so they wouldn't have to ever receive emails to stuff not meant to be replied to. But if the user actually replied, including having it on CC, then this unintentionally leaks email communication to whoever controlled that bogus address)

The only reason I was hyped for windows 10 is because I thought windows phone was gonna be a thing and I was young and thought it could give speed boost and I did get hype points for having it in my friend group. But meh, I guess it's just content creators using free/easy content to generate clicks and views.
Funny thing for me is that to be "compatible" I did need to enable TPM, but secure boot wasn't necessary at all.
Yeah I turned off secureboot to mess with Linux and I installed Windows 11 fine, I was also UEFI though
afaik it just has to be available, not enabled.

Hey, remember when you could get a piece of software and do what you wanted with it, without the company imposing a bunch of restrictions and attaching a digital leash to it?
No,
But probably before my time though
@@Tainami_ Back in the 80s, about the only restrictions were common sense related to copyright. You couldn't make copies and sell them/give them away, or buy one copy and install it on 100 computers at a factory. Other than that, you could do pretty much what you wanted. Buy a word processor and use it for your business? Sure. Crack the protection for your own person use? A-OK.
In fact, companies used to sell "Parameter" copiers specifically designed to make working copies of other commercial software, sometimes removing the protection to make the disk easier to copy.
Companies would release software with various types of "copy protection" (DRM) and hope it was enough to keep people from pirating their software. Just like today, it wasn't. But this was the early days of computers, so none of this "You must go online to activate this software" or "Connection to server lost, game paused" crap that we're stuck with today. Companies also didn't stop you from using the software on any system you wanted. Programs had minimum requirements listed on the box, but if you wanted to try installing it on a system that didn't meet the specs, you were free to do so.
You thats why I'm thinking to switch to Linux permanently noit just dual boot and putting Winmalware on the Virtual Machine jsut top play with...

So then I tried to expand the available space and despite having a ton of storage space to play with, the option to change the size was grayed out stating there was zero space to expand.

Somebody at Microsoft is loosing their shit after seeing this and it brings a smile to my face.
why would MS care? win11 is still in beta (i.e. insider preview), which 99% of people aren't a part of. they can very easily patch all of this stuff if they want to.
Remember the last time they said "the most secure windows ever"? That was windows 2000, which had to have 4 service packs just to be anywhere close to secure.
Well, they weren't wrong. It had flaws, but it still was the most secure one yet.
@Jupiter rules it was, but it still had massive security issues (particularly in the enterprise and server branches of it)
At least it's Asbestos Free
Ah! Consumers!!
Never read what is actually written. The catch is the word "windows".
It cant run wannacry like windows 10 at that time 🤔
12:59 I like how they just spammed no in permissions
*Hands in ID that clearly has i7 on it*
"Core 2 Duo? Get outta here"
Yup. Security guards in a nutshell
I just saw it😂😂 says i7 intel
FUCKING THIS
"If you want to run the full version when it releases...". I don't even want to run the version of Windows I've already got :(
Wouldn't have that problem imma 58 imperial.
Today you can bypass all of this. I installed Windows 11 on my Dell Latitude 3540 Laptop using the latest release of Rufus to make the install USB. You can remove all the TPM and CPU requirements and a MS account at the beginning of that process. Took me about 30 minutes.
All this talk of Windows 11 and I'm still happily sat on good ol' reliable Windows 7 and I know I'm not the only one..
Me with Windows Vista
I'm happy with ol Wonderfull Windows 98
It’s sad that Microsoft made it so difficult to setup windows 11
They basically just made it for all the nerds who want to mess around with their product since it’s so new
No it's just so only geeks could use win 11 on their old PCs and other
Well
They have to buy a new PC
Technically it's not been released yet
It was very easy.
It's basically an insentive for technical nerds to find all the bugs before the actual release. Free quality QA.
This seems even sketchier than anything LTT has bought off Wish.
Nice
The sketchy part of this is how shitty are the w11 validations...
Like really? register keys?
@@juanma9868 We are 4 months from release my guess is be the time windows 11 is released it will be a little more difficult then changing a registry key
I got this in my feed in 2024. Now the easiest way is to create a USB with Rufus and once it detects a win11 ISO you should have options to remove TPM/Secure Boot checks
this will be a good opportunity to give linux another go.
Linux Mint, my dude.
I left Windows after 7 and it's been fantastic.
One does not simply give Linux a go. Linux demands a commitment. Tux is no cheap floozy.
@@VincentVonDudler last time i tried mint i had a problem with my mouse driver, of all things. i couldn't even launch a terminal to try and fix it.
@@1pcfred that it does. its better every time, but i still haven't made the transition. its going to take making windows worse to do it. also vms are really good now so i can still run all my legacy windows software. ive had a lot of luck with raspian on the pi, and that little useless sbc has taught me more about linux than any of the linux classes ive had.
@@LordOfNihil if you want to run Windows software then your best bet is to run Windows. Linux is not Windows. People hoping to replace Windows with Linux are disappointed. People seeking an alternative to Windows may find Linux acceptable. The difference is subtle but real.
I think I might just stick with Windows 10 till my next pc upgrade. Seems like a lot less hassle. Of course I have to wait for graphics cards to become a thing that's available at a realistic price so we're talking years here, but that should just give them time to work out the worst of the Win 11 bugs. Hopefully, unless we're talking another Win ME or Vista.
Maybe they are scared of this windows being like vista and being hated on because it's too slow so they limit it to higher end hardware for that reason?
Nope
There's plenty of still good cpus made before the cut off
Like, say
1st gen threadrippers
@@bdub1682 well idk
This is bullshit.
I installed Windows 11 on a Core2 Quad system. It runs better than Windows 10. Microsoft just want us to buy new PCs.
@@staz3014 you can install these devbuilds on your PC bit once the actual release happens you won't be able to update to it
You'll either be stuck on a dev build or have to go back to windows 10
@@staz3014 Wanting us to buy during a massive chip shortage. Big brain move by MS right there
I work IT and our senior tech officer PXE booted windows 11 on machines as old as i5-3540's, we got some old core 2 duos laying around were gonna try those
Microsoft watching this video: Thanks Linus, you just helped us discover all our vulnerability for free. Cheers!
Ugh- oh- (0_0) Didn't think that way lmao
@@Beryesa. I doubt MS actually cares. As Linus said their goal here to make the average user more secure (and keep up with Apple on that front). If users are willing to bypass those requirements then any issues that arise out of that choice is on the user.
Ehhhh not likely - Think about it, Windows 7's ahem "accquisitional methods" were unbypassable by Microsoft, Windows 10's is fairly easy to bypass, but no idea why you should bother, being as Windows 10 is free, Windows 11 is just an evolved Windows 10 with more restrictions and more spyware
That MIGHT come in Service Patch 1.
@@bogartwilley More spyware? Please substantiate your claim if you value your self integrity.
