Re: Windows 11
There is an app you can use to see if your PC can upgrade to Windows 11. It seems I cant
You can download the updated Windows PC Health Check app for free.
Update: Microsoft releases updated PC Health Check app for everyone
The last time we spoke about this matter, Redmond officials only brought this application back for testing and offered it to Windows Insiders.
However, it seems that everything worked out, and the popular diagnose tool will make its way back into people’s PCs and laptops.
Now, after collecting the feedback from Insiders and with the additional updates for the newly supported processors, the tech giant has re-released the PC Health Check app for all users.

Re: Windows 11
Might be best to simply stick with Windows 10, Lolly....
Do keep us informed though...Best of luck...

Re: Windows 11
I'm just reading up.The worst features of Win11 Apparently the start menu takes up too much space
How about some humility, Microsoft? What we want out of Start menu is to give us quick access to all of our programs and then get out of the way. However, in Windows 11, the Start menu is designed to be showy rather than functional, sitting in the middle of the display by default and taking up more screen real estate for fewer icons than in Windows 10. Even worse, Windows 11 makes you click a second time to see a list of all your apps.
I compared the size of the Start Menu on a 1920 x 1080 display on both operating systems. Excluding the height of the taskbar, which is about the same, the Windows 11 Start menu measured 645 x 740 and housed 18 pinned apps and four "recommended" shortcuts, a total of 22 icons (with room for 2 more, a total of 24). The Windows 10 Start menu measured 648 x 639 and held 30 icons. Better still, in Windows 10, you can scroll down an alphabetical list of all your apps right away, but in Windows 11, you have to hit the "All Apps" button to get there

Re: Windows 11
Microsoft's need to make decisions for you in Windows 11 is most evident in its strictly-enforced hardware requirements. Where previous versions of the OS will run on just about any PC of the last 10 to 15 years, Windows 11 setup will prevent you from installing it on a system that doesn't have one of its limited list of supported AMD or Intel CPUs, which excludes many processors that were sold as recently as a couple of years ago (first gen Ryzen for example).
Even worse, Microsoft insists you have TPM 2.0 encryption, a feature that many older motherboards don't have. The reason for these requirements is not performance, but enhanced security. However, if Windows 10 can run fine without TPM there's no reason why TPM can't be optional in Windows 11.

Failing that visit Amazonand find a replacement but remember that if you are not a gamer there's no need to spend more than £300 or £400

Re: Windows 11
Use Windows 10? Microsoft will charge you up to £337 if you refuse to switch to Windows 11
Microsoft has confirmed its annual fee for critical security updates and bug fixes
Microsoft has confirmed the cost to extend support for Windows 10
It will cost as much as $427 (£337.29) for three years of security patches
The subscription, known as Extended Security Updates (ESU), doubles every year
This marks the first time Microsoft has offered ESU to everyday users
It has only published pricing for businesses, with more details coming soon
Schools will only need to pay $1 to avoid upgrading their PCs to Windows 11
Not every PC running Windows 10 can be upgraded to Windows 11
https://www.gbnews.com/tech/windows-10-end-of-support-price-uk
They can put that where the sun dont shine. I cant/have never been able to update to Win 11.

Re: Windows 11
Slightly to do with Windows 11 :-
I think I may have sussed why I’ve been struggling to post this last 24 hours.
In this last 6 months we have changed to BT ‘Halo 3 Plus’ , which means if BT internet goes down we have EE for internet access.
Mrs RMJ’s i-phone says we are on EE at the moment, so I suppose if BT’s internet connection has gone down we should be thankful for a poor connection rather than none.
I expected better than this when we signed up to it, but c’est la vie, I hope it’s soon fixed, I suspect they’re doing maintenance work while it’s school holidays.
Hope to be back to normal soon because people who don’t have BT Halo3 and therefore no internet will be able to claim compensation after 48 hours, and there may be many.
