After using Windows for 30+ years now (since Windows 1), this is one of the straws finally pushing me into Linux.
I'm running 10, but without a TPM, can't go to 11. So sad. Not.
Honestly 7 was the last decent OS they made. In my opinion the good OS's were NT4 (game changer), 2000, XP, 7. They can keep the rest.
You can use the Rufus USB flashing tool with the Windows 11 iso and it will remove the TPM requirement and others.
This breaks your ability to get security updates on win11 though right?
Windows Update gets turned off yes.
But you wait say 6 months and then it back on, Do all updates and then run the playbook again (after it’s been hopefully updated)
Don't do this. Running unpatched software is a recipe for disaster.
Not always. Windows has a built in delay function. And business often hold back while testing is done.
Waiting 6 months is fine to let improvements come out and fix any bugs previous updates might have introduced.
If something major comes out that needs patching immediately, since we’re all tech heads and have our nose in the news constantly, then you find out about it and update there and then. No biggy.
6 months no patches?
Yeah... Sounds like a great idea that all non-tech users should be using /s
