My old ASUS laptop can't run Windows 11 (owing to an unnecessary hardware setting insisted upon by Microsoft) ... lucky me!   Cool

I put Windows 11 on 'er indoors HP laptop yesterday as part of the free "upgrade". Big mistake.   Sad

Windows 11 is a fugly piece of crap.   Shocked

I much prefer Windows 10.

6 years ago we had all sorts of third party programs and workarounds to stop Microsoft forcing Windows 10 onto peoples' Windows 7/8.1 PC's.

Looks like history is about to repeat with keeping Windows 11 off peoples' Windows 10 PC's.

10 December 1815. Ada Lovelace (Ada Byron) was born in London. She was the only child of the poet Lord Byron. She’s best known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine, and is regarded as the first computer programmer.

Wait until Windows 13.
It will be gender neutral and you will be required to name all 72 genders before you can log on.


I think you will find that by the time Windows 12 comes out, the concept of wokeness and the 72 genders will have gotten pass the expiry date. People will be over it by then and have seen it as something of a 10-year phase.

I've just been invited to download/install Windows 11. And it's free!

Anybody know anything about it?


My machines are not compatible so its a no go for me. I probably would if I could but it is no big deal.

Better for me than 10 - I restored my old beast to 8.1 to get around the stupidities of 10 - 11 so far is a better version of 8.1....

Even mega companies can hear when the people speak loud enough....  Don't Look Up ....

I have Avast cleanup which I run regularly alongside cleanup and defrag and TotalAV checks..... keeps it running pretty smoothly.  Cleanup has a disc check so it spots any issues with the physical disc as well.

Clean up the memory first and then try.

I had just downloaded and installed Advanced System Care. If Avast is better than ASC, I should probably give that a go.

I have had this computer for the last several months. Yesterday's refresh has done me more good than what I thought possible. But I cannot remember any of my preloaded passwords. Even OzPol had me trying to remember what it was.

Always a good idea to have a backup of passwords from Credential manager and if you use Chrome -  settings / advanced/ autofill/ passwords.

I did a complete restore of my computer. That meant all my files were erased and all my stored passwords were gone. I could probably have written the passwords down when I set them. But that might have defeated the purpose of having passwords if I could not recall them from memory. But, there I was needing to remember long-forgotten passwords. So glad that my google password is one of my oldest passwords.

Given the issues discussed here I’m left wondering why so many of you cling to Mr Gate’s spaghettiware.

My computer was in such a state that I could not download and install Windows 11. That is why I am sticking to Windows 10, until I update the RAM and fix up a few other issues.

Same here.

I haven't used Windows at home for about ten years now.

I have automatic password retention from Firefox when I choose, but also a small book ...... with all passwords listed.  If you deal with government, always check in once every three months, or they will want you to change your password, which is a pain.
