The end of Windows 10

I call it a tiggabyte... it annoys the geeks

I thought you got one of those from cats?

oooOOOoooh!!

my life is complete, I can have the windows start button in the middle instead of the left hand corner 🙄

Actually I would find that useful as invariably my work laptop ends up hiding the bottom left of the screen that it is connected to.

Yes - and in another thread people sleep with the mouse-chomping beasts in their beds!

They (the owners) are probably riddled with scattered chunks of memory and really they ought to be defragged post-haste.

I tried to defrag the wife. It left a deep psychological scar.

As expected. No TPM2 (chip or firmware), no Windows 11. That's an awful lot of PCs shut out of the operating system...
The next Windows 10 update is still going ahead later in the year, which was already slated to add the look and feel that's just been announced for W11. I think they'll now leave that out, in order to differrentiate the two.

I'm out because of lack of TPM2 chip so I'll be sticking with 10 for a while yet .

I dunno what some of you luddites are whining about. I'm already looking forward to Win 12 and I can hardly wait for 13.

 

[DCBassman]

No luddite, but certainly not able to fork out for a new, compliant PC at the drop of a hat, let alone 4...
Linux Mint might well be on the horizon if Win 10 falters.

Ta - was wondering what they'd call the next few versions. Now I know.

Hasn't 13 already been released disguised as 8. My year old laptop is apparently compatible with 11, an early lockdown purchase as my existing one was running very hot and managed to partly self destruct one of its hinges as a result

Cool, you'll be upgraded before the end of the year, then.

The year old laptop incidentally was not top spec, an i5 cpu, 8Gb memory and a 1.8Tb hard drive.

Darn it, my CPU isn't compatible.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

I cin't run it either.
No idea what this means...
