Oh, absolutely, hagatha. I would do the same thing. I have a feeling there is going to be a great deal for to work out with this one.

My plan is to hold out with Win10 for as long as my firewall, antivirus and malware programmes deem it safe.
That's what I did with WinXP and Win7. And in fact I could have safely stayed without Win10 for a lot longer.
Having good protection and behaving sensibly yourself goes a long way !!

But, being under the false impression that Win10 was going to be the last of its kind and would just need annual updating or whatever, and getting to need a more modern machine, I decided to finally go for it this year.

Several people I know - most of whom are techies but not computer game players - are planning to simply go to Linux if this Win11 fiasco doesn't get resolved !!

I've heard the same, Mad. Linux has a lot of limitations - especially for us gamers - but it is looking more and more appealing to IT people. So much of business runs on things like Microsoft Office, but even that is now available for Linux.

Even if I could install it I would be reluctant based on what I have read, but I still have my fingers crossed they will get rid of the unconscionable hardware issue.

In my humble opinion, if they don't they are going to be stuck with an operating system that is only for an elite few. If they want to appeal to the masses, it's going to have to go. When I have a 1.5 year old $400+ motherboard that doesn't support it, they have a problem.

Plus, honestly, I JUST got used to Win 10, since my Alienware was 7, I think. I'm not ready to make nice with another operating system.

My sentiments exactly. Our Windows 10 computer is 1 year 5 months old and it was not cheap. However, it does not have the hardware that Windows 11 wants. Microsoft can go take a flying leap.

Microsoft can DEFINITELY take a flying leap , right off the deep end . I received a popup that showed my pc (Ryzen 7 3700x , MSI B450 mobo) wasn't ready for Windows 11 , I presume because of the tpm(?) 2.0 , & a required Microsoft account , which I refuse to create . I'll migrate to linux before I use Windows 11 .

When my laptop did its usual search for updates this morning, it offered to upgrade to Windows 11.
So it begins thumbsdown

From what I've seen, Windows 11 itself isn't horrible. I just feel like it's completely unnecessary... and the whole hardware thing just sends me into an angry place.
