Re: Is Windows 11 Real?
I ran the Microsoft check software again and it updates itself. In the new version, it gives a bit more information about what is not compatible - still not enough but a bit better than before. On my Surface 3, it says my CPU is incompatible. Windows 11 minimum spec for CPU is "1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)". The Surface 3 has an Atom x7-Z8700, which is a 4-Core 1.6GHz 64-bit CPU; I don't understand why Microsoft would consider that as incompatible.2.6KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Is Windows 11 Real?
I certainly hope so. I have one computer that has Skylake (6th gen) that runs Windows 10 well, and meets all the requirements of Windows 11 on paper. I imagine there are currently a ton of Skylake computers out there as well (such as Thinkpad T460/470 series). If they just arbitrarily draw the line at Coffee Lake and above, there would be ton of angry users.2.3KViews0likes21CommentsRe: Is Windows 11 Real?
Deleted Microsoft has a list of processors (CPUs) that Windows 11 will support. AMD: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors Intel: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors Looking at the list, anything Kaby Lake (Core ix 7th gen) and before would not work for Win11, so is anything AMD before Ryzen 2nd gen. I have one desktop that's AMD A10, and Surface 3 (Atom x7); neither of them would run Win 11. My Thinkpad P52s will though.2.3KViews1like23CommentsRe: Is Windows 11 Real?
Official blog post is here: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/06/24/introducing-windows-11/ To the forum moderator: now that Microsoft and made the announcement and proved that once and for all that Windows 11 is real, I think this thread has served its purpose.3.2KViews1like3CommentsRe: Is Windows 11 Real?
Only the official announcement later this week would indicate who would get the upgrade, and at what price - if any. But I would be very surprised that they would charge for Win 11 for existing Win 10 users. If I were to guess, I'd say they would upgrade Win 10 to Win 11 free for a limited time - just like what they did for Win 7/8 -> Win 10.3.3KViews0likes1CommentRe: Is Windows 11 Real?
I would agree, and - at the same time - disagree with you. What I agree with is you is that one should not download software from unknown origin. What I disagree with you is Windows 11 is fake. There are way too many hints with the number "11" posted everywhere by Microsoft. Also, if for someone like Thurrott reported on it, along with screenshots, and Thurrott being one of the closest reporters to Microsoft, I'd say he is quite confident of the origin of the software. I wouldn't be surprise if this is leaked out intentionally to "boost search results" and "keep the rumor mill turning" among the tech sites, as well as for gauging early reactions. I'll call it "free marketing". 😁289KViews2likes13CommentsRe: Where is Hyper-V Server 2019?!
I installed the server using the ("original") rs5 iso and for some reason that install was not picking up any Windows Updates patches to the server OS. The same server installed with Hyper-V 2016 works fine. I have not installed the patch that was mentioned; perhaps that would resolve it. But since I'm not in a hurry to deploy the server, I'm going to wait for the re-released iso.11KViews0likes0Comments
