My old Windows 7 Home computer (in shed/garage) still got security updates till the begining of this year, thats 3 years after EOL, so i really expect them to do so for Windows 10 also, but hopefully Windows 12 wil be out before the end of 2025 (and hopefully they got rid of the mistakes they made with Windows 11)
The other old computer i got did take Windows 10 fine (and Windows 11 Beta, as that didnt require TPM and Secure Boot) wich is currently in loan to friend.

Windows Vista, 7 8, 8.1 and 10 all use the same kernel as Windows 11, thats why those older drivers for older hardware usually still work in 10 or 11, but now there changing kernel to Rust code, so the drivers would also need to be coded in Rust for Windows 12.

But in any case its smart to use the latest drivers because a lot of times they also include security patches (exept maybe if your a die hard IL-2 1946 fan with a AMD Radeon RX 400 -> RX 6000 series card because as you know the drivers from halfway 2022 onwards cause isues with OpenGL)

Thanks mates!

A bit hard to me to understand how does W11 have to be harmful....but at least 'll be updated!

I'll give a try to find an economic W10....or I'll try to use W11....

Windows 11 is not harmfull, compair it to Windows Vista or Windows 8(.1), they made a mess of it, same with Windows 11, this is one to skip, Windows 12 wil probably be much better again.

Seems if you look at the Windows 11 updates/patches they bring out they fix somethings (un)successfully, but mess something else up also.

Sometimes i takes a really long time for things to get fixed like with the M.2 performance drop, wich came after a March 2023 update, and they still have not fixed it (even though they improved it a bit with an update in August 2023)

If you still need a Windows 10 licence/key look no further than here: www.scdkey.com

New bug, they stopped the roll out of Windows 11 23H2 for Multi Monitor Setups, as it causes problem with there AI assistant CoPilot. 

Apparently there are also problems with Boot-Loops after a fix that was intended to stop CoPilot from messing with hardware/software settings.

I'm using just that, no issues.
Bugs are just daily business.
Every OS has them.
Microsoft bashing might be folkloric, but it doesn't turn anything for the better.

Since your in the EU you dont have CoPilot AI with 23H2 as it violates EU privacy rules.
MS stopped the 23H2 for systems that have multi screen setups because CoPilot causes problems.
CoPilot also messed with your hardware/software settings with out permision, wich should be fixed now for people affected.

Every O.S. has bugs, but this one has a few more and they seem to strugle with patching them, on top of that i find some things not really user friendly, and if you do change/mod something so you do like it as with Win 7/10 they undo it (or disable half your O.S. so your forced to undo it/uninstall your mod.

I've got many more PCs under my wings than just that private rig of mine

Looks like Windows 11 is going the same route Windows 8(.1) as Windows 12 is apparently only 6 months away, but in anycase 2024, so lets hope thats a lot beter than what we got now.

But you might have guessed, i build custom PC's, sell and maintain them, but i am doing that less and less as i want more free time next year.

Hi to all!

Definitvely bought a W10 retail....so if in the future W11 'll became more than an option for me I can still upgrade....

Thanks to all involved!

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

Hi mates!

A small update and a question for W11 users....

I have installed the W10 retail and got it working as in my previous rig....some glitch when working with folders....main one was if I used the right click of the mouse over the folders listed in the left portion of an opened one (more precisely under the NEW button there is a list of folders) I have CTD of the folder if I try to paste something directly there....

This is why , in the eve of a lot of update BAT work adding last 2 years mods since the not planned new update I tried to update to W11....with the hope to work more quickly with folders....

Now , even of the game run smooth I have an annoying glitch....when adding mods and using more then one folder on the desktop I have frequent CTD and all the opened folders disappear....

I have investigated on the web and seem that is a common issue....

Neither last night update have fixed it yet....

Anyone have similar issue?

If yes (but I hope for you no....) anyone have a fix to suggest?

Thanks in advance for your help!
