Apparently, the PC I was given by my employer less than a year ago is too out of date (uses Windows 10) and I have to have Windows 11 now for security reasons. I have a gaming PC, but it’s my partner’s, too, and it’d be a huge waste of its power and graphics card, plus it’d have to be moved. I really don’t want to do that.
A new company owns the company I work for now, but still. This is not what I agreed to. Ugh. I’m so annoyed.
It’s not that expensive, really ($200), but it’s the principle of the matter. How long will it be before they force me to do this again, anyway??? I already get paid a shit wage.
Microsoft is a bag of dicks, that’s why
They are forcing all Intel based devices with 7th Gen processors and under, to not be compatible with Windows 11. Sure there’s workarounds to force it, but you can’t do that stuff with worked based hardware.

If your processor isn’t in that list, your shit outta luck and need to upgrade because they said so.

Ah, I remember now. Around 2022, I used Rufus to bypass those restrictions. I wonder if it’s any easier now.
