            Samath N8 808 owner, 15 Jul 2022Its not that exactly, you just need to be online for 8 hour... moreNo, that's not true. The PC can be several days out of internet and nothing happens. It can be even used on a local account with no registration to MS servers.

                    Not surprised - windows 11 is a complete failure in every aspect. SLOW, buggy garbage.

                      There's no such thing as anything after windows 10. Microsoft crossed their hearts and promised to God that windows 10 was the end and final version of windows.

                      Yet we all knew the truth.

                        My laptop came with Windows 7. Worked much worse than Windows 8.1 and 10. Now running Windows 11. Though many people hate it for me it works really really well very similar to Windows 10. For me Windows 7 was a nightmare. Many blue screens and GPU driver crashes. And laggy as well. Windows 8.1 was great and very lightweight. Windows 10 and 11 are the best after all. Windows 12 is interesting but I'm not sure if my laptop can handle it. Windows 11 isn't supported but Rufus helped me and it runs fine now.

                          Microsoft is similar to a chameleon, keeps shifting product strategies & marketing around them by judging the heat among its customers, enterprise first then consumer. I simply do not understand why product management is so complicated at Microsoft. Sticking to a single, consistent rule is so NOT Microsoft style. Even Linux releases, or MacOS releases are better with this, 6 monthly latest releases, 2 years LTS releases no big deal. Been doing for decades. NOT Microsoft style, consistency that is.

                          With Windows 10 ALONE, they first stated "Last version of Windows" as if it will be serviced forever. Customers were screaming for 6 monthly major update tortures, but no stopping for 4 continuous years. Then all of a sudden, Windows 11 "skin" is announced, strategy now Annual updates for both OS. Then now this, 3 yearly updates. All this drama in last 18 months.

                          Look at Weather app, it constantly keeps its name changing to MSN Weather to remind users now that Microsoft used to have a successful MSN portal too that no one liked. But just to project legacy, we will call MSN prefix on everything. Chameleon you Microsoft.

                            Anonymous, 15 Jul 2022windows ia best os none can come close can you mads better ... moreBeing Stuck in the Windows ecosystem is the word for it

                            Compatibility with games needing everything functional yes

                            As a os windows is not good at all
                            It's a buggy and updates break software often
                            I don't want a Microsoft account I don't like ads & spyware and forced updates turning a PC off when your trying too do something is a problem and factory reset don't work on some laptops broken by updates

                            Just are game librarys are stuck on Windows
                            We need Windows
                            Windows meets are needs but its not we want or like

                              blue, 15 Jul 2022How come my Windows 11 running computer does not need to be... moreIts not that exactly, you just need to be online for 8 hours to be in their trust loop, to be counted as a trusted system or get updates or something like that. I read somewhere.

                                Urban, 15 Jul 2022And they will put tpm 3.0 that will render all current PCs ... moreAs far as I know TPM 2.0 for W11 is needed only when you update from W10. But if you do a clean install there is no restriction on the CPU, TPM or not.

                                  Upgraded to a SSD, my Windows 7 laptop starts in just 25 seconds or so ready to use.

                                  None of the newer windows are this fast, even though they employ a standby like method to shut down normally.
                                  Newer is not always better in all terms.

Why going backwards to times when Microsoft's systems were backwards compatible to a level when they became almost unusable (say hello to awful Vista)?

                                        Worsted os of all time

                                        VISTA hardware requirements being unclear was why vista was disliked

                                        I think Microsoft should of made windows 7 the last version of Windows

                                        Also I think Windows xp vista & 7 should have co exist with lifetime supported instead of making new versions

                                        Windows 8 is where Windows started going downhill every version after was worse then the last
