Microsoft cracking down on methods used to bypass Windows 11 hardware requirements

Jet-Fighter7700 said:
not a bad idea, but why all the scare tactics?, why cant MS realize people will wait up until they can
and then upgrade till they feel like they can,

or do they feel that they do enough already for legacy support to be able to say, upgrade or else.

What is annoying is MS them self had an article on their website detailing disabling the TPM security requirements......this is now the 3rd or 4th time they have backtracked on their statements with regards to installing windows 11 on older hardware.

To be honest it was and still is a stupid requirement....

this 100% agree, but maybe they did it for their own selfish reasons to try and shift more PC's for being sold,
if they left things ALONE like they should have, people would have just stayed with what works.

people were getting tired of their shyte. I am one of them....There isn't much of an alternative for me...my work environment is windows, my clients is windows as well as well as the software I have spends thousands on is windows....

It isn't as simple as move to "insert your fanboi os here"

This is sort of cut off your nose to spite your face kinda thing......sticking it to the man, is great and all but not if it comes at great expense......

Some people in this thread are of the opinion the average person reliant on windows is a "fringe" case......were not, not even remotely.....a lot of us don't have a choice in the matter.....

Windows runs great as a VM on Mac btw.

Several software programs I use for my development purposes, don't work with VM's. So even if it was an option I still wouldn't go the mac route, it just adds more problems than what it intends to fix.

So I will NEVER choose mac willingly...........not even for free. I have said it before I think mac hardware is great, their shady business practices, macos, their planned obsolescence is trash....... I have no intention of ever going mac anything..

I rather go linux or stick with windows and eat their shyte with a silver spoon.....I always have the option to tell them to fck off....you don't have that luxury with apple you need to ditch their entire ecosystem and hardware to tell them to fk off....

this is my sentiments exactly, if it aint broke dont fix it, MS keeps trying new stuff that breaks the stuff thats already there for no reason.

why doesn't MS just release something that works properly, and isnt a half baked mess,

and why do they use the public to test features out for them? dont they realize how disruptive it is for people to be using a feature and for it to be taken away?

Since they haven't gotten the message that one size actually fits none. The few websites that tried to go both mobile and pc failed and had to backtrack but MS is still stuck in this mindset. I'm still on Win7 which is a proper desktop OS. I'll only upgrade at such time I absolutely need something that doesn't work on 7. So far the one or two sites that don't load work on the latest legacy Firefox. I'll go Linux but am reliant on hibernate. Can run software in a VM as Linux support for general windows software doesn't exist.

They can try, but people will just crack / bypass it again.
If a human can create it then another one can undo it.

One thing about windows is that anything can be hacked as it's so reliant on the registry. The registry is baked right into the core.
