Windows 11 for 7th generation Intel
And, wow, it rocks. It is faaaaast. I guess that I could have saved my cash and just stayed with this machine, but it's fun to have a newer pc, too.
Heh, for what I do, I am good.
Thank you Rufus download thingy!
chrisboo yeah, well it's been over a year now since I first started experimenting with Rufus and the Win11 bypass script they built into the code. And what I learned is that there is a HUGE downside to these NO TPM scripted installs. Said machines will forever be stuck with whatever version of Win11 has been installed.. Eventually, over time, these versions will become invalidated. So, when running old software and for the use of basic internet surfing, Win11 on an older system is a fun workaround. On the other hand, after building systems with the i3-12100 CPU and Samsung Pro 980 SSDs, these older systems are weak... more a hobby than a true wonder.
No argument there. My other ride is a 10600K, and it does really well for what I need.
Typing of hobbies, I put some 386 version on my old Toughbook 18 for no reason, and I can connect it to either machine through remote desktop and a Linux 386 package that I can't remember the name of.It actually works pretty great!
