Still stuck on version 1909. My laptop will update to the more recent versions.
Yeah it may be "spritely" but it is still Linux.You may be amazed how spritely any i5 or i7 machine is running Linux.
If the alternative is recycling, that's a very attractive choice.Yeah it may be "spritely" but it is still Linux.
This is a Windows Update thread not a Linux thread. There are other threads for you to express your undying love of Linux.If the alternative is recycling, that's a very attractive choice.
I upgraded my year-old HP desktop to Windows 11 Wednesday. My desktop looks nearly the same. I don't miss Cortana. You can move the taskbar and start menu to the left if you like but you can't change back to the live tiles, which I didn't like much anyway. Snapping windows to set positions on the screen is easy now. It's a free upgrade. I am happy with it so far. Download and installation took less than two hours.M Personally, I'm not impressed with Windows 11. Cortana is gone and the Start Menu is now in the middle of the screen.
That's not an accurate statement. This thread was about getting a free upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and was not about Patch Tuesday and out-of-band updates.This is a Windows Update thread not a Linux thread.
Now is not a good time to be shopping for hardware (computer or consumer electronics). If you can gut it out, you should save a lot of money.My box is from 2014, so it's overdue for an upgrade. I'm holding off until DDR5 memory becomes available. This might be another year. sigh
I'm the "Thread Starter" and I'm telling you, THIS THREAD IS ABOUT WINDOWS UPGRADES AND UPDATES AND NOTHING ELSE! You want to discuss other things start your own thread and stop trolling here!That's not an accurate statement. This thread was about getting a free upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and was not about Patch Tuesday and out-of-band updates.
Initially, it was about when those who were promised Windows 10 upgrades would get theirs. Subsequently it became about the unadvertised program where anyone with a valid license for Windows 7 and/or Windows 8.1 could upgrade to Windows 10 for free. That program may still be available today.
The whole Windows Update (versus Upgrade) thing started somewhere around post #599.
The point is, keep your Linux crap out of this thread. Final warning.That's not an accurate statement. This thread was about getting a free upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and was not about Patch Tuesday and out-of-band updates.

As stated previously, I'm waiting for DDR5 memory and compatible motherboards to be released. That won't be until early next year minimum.Now is not a good time to be shopping for hardware (computer or consumer electronics). If you can gut it out, you should save a lot of money.
I got that but I would counsel against buying any other components (cases, power supplies, drives) as well. The Blu-ray burner I was looking at just jumped 20% in price.As stated previously, I'm waiting for DDR5 memory and compatible motherboards to be released. That won't be until early next year minimum.
Mmmm..... the only computer components that I have purchased in the past year have been eight 8TB hard drives for my TrueNAS server, and that was only pushed because of drive failure and drive age. Even then, I had to go with 8 TB instead of the planned 10TB or 12TB because of pricing.I got that but I would counsel against buying any other components (cases, power supplies, drives) as well.
