And I'm not sure you'll want Win11, as its still not clear, in MS's attempt to copy Apple, if you will be able to install apps outside of the Microsoft Store. If that is the case, we're all screwed.

Win 10 still has 4 years in it though :y.

Quite an impressive presentation so far ,though there is some really cringe worthy content
not said how much it's going to cost ,if anything  ::)
also "on any device"  ::) well no , any device that meets the minimum requirements  :P
though  the TPM 2 and UEFI requirements are an easy work around*

*but not having TPM 2 may leave the device venerable to attack , so I get why MS wanted to make it a requirement

Free "upgrade" from win 10  :) IF your system meets the minimum hardware requirements  ::)

System requirements

  DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver  ::)
so Microsoft wrote W11 for the bitcoin ethereum miners then , no one else can get decent graphic cards  :-X

According to Dell (I have 3) non of the models I own will be compatible with Win 11.

Do they really expect me to sit through 44 minutes and 51 seconds of that drivel?  :o

Time better spent installing Linux, methinks. ;)

Can't they bring the fat, bald shouty bloke back? At least he was more entertaining than all the heart clutching and telling me how humbled you feel that I've got nothing better to do that watch your shitty video*.. :D


*- actually I have, but it's replacing the bathroom, so any excuse. ;D
