Run Windows Apps on Ubuntu Easily: A Quick Guide
We have decided to help our readers to run Windows apps on Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions in the Linux world.thesecmaster.com
It is on another very old laptop P6100 processor (2010) miracle that it runs more or less stable. I run it under foobar linux unbuntu so not Kodi. I'm not really using it because of minimal system recources. Also issues regarding high resolution files max 48khz that will work. So a driver like wasapi will not work what i tried (by passing linux audio OS). But using files till 48khz is no problem. Could be solutions for that under linux but i don't have the time knoledge or a dedicated laptop with more ram and or processor. Early intel I processor 8 gig Ram, ssd could provide more than enough system resources.

Updating Windows 11 Pro (x64) 21H2 to 24H2 in "officially unsupported" PCs with preserving/keeping all the files, settings, applications
Important note:
The method described in this post is only for your reference.
In case if you would like to try this update method, it should be your own responsibility and at your own risk.
During the last weekend days, I updated "Windows 11 officially unsupported" nine (9) PCs (ref. here) from Windows 21H2 to 24H2 successfully through the following method, at least in my case.
1. Download the Microsoft official "Windows 11 24H2 install DVD iso image" (with selection of Japanese language in my case: Win11_24H2_Japanese_x64.iso 5.35 GB),
2. Load the iso image into Virtual Clone-CD/DVD Drive (you can also "open" the iso DVD image by Windows Explorer),
3. Copy all of the contents of the install DVD into HDD's or SSD's "D:\tempWin11_24H2_install" folder (in my case, drive D: has enough space),
4. Eject the iso image DVD from the Virtual Clone-CD/DVD Drive,
5. Launch command.com window,
6. Move to the "D:\tempWin11_24H2_install" folder,
7. Execute the setup.exe with " /product server" option by typing "setup.exe /product server" (this will bypass all the update restrictions); you may now close the command.com window,
8. In the initial update screen, you will be asked "Download update programs, drivers, optional functions (recommended)", but you should choose "no, not now", and do not check "join cooperation in quality-improvement of Windows updates".
9. In the next screen you should accept "terms and conditions" given by Microsoft,
10. In next screen, you should choose "keep/preserve all files, settings, applications", then push "next" to start update procedures.
During the thus-started Windows 11 24H2 update installation procedures, you will see sign of "Windows Server is now being installed", but actually Windows 11 Pro (x64) is being installed.
It will take about one hour or two to complete the update installation of 24H2, and your PC will be rebooted several times (actually three or four times in my case).
After the finally-updated Windows 11 24H2 has been launched in your PC, just for confirmation, please manually reboot it again.
Then, you need to go "settings"-"Windows Update" to further apply the available latest updates for 24H2; relatively large updates will be applied, it will take another about 15 minutes. Then reboot your PC again!
Now finally, the latest/updated Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (x64) is working perfectly fine on your PC with all of your files, settings, applications, etc. have been kept/preserved.
Please confirm the version (24H2) and OS build number of updated Windows 11 by the command of "winver".

After you can fully validate and test thus-updated Windows 11 24H2, you may clean-up and make more "free space" on your OS installed drive by using "Windows Tools" - "Disk Cleanup" - "system File Cleanup" to delete "Windows.old" folder and the related installer files/records.
Please note that, after this "disk clean-up", you will be unable to roll back to old version of Windows 11 (in my case, unable to go back to 21H2).

My concern is the continuing cost of MS Office in a new Windows 11 desktop PC.
Iv windows 10 .., what , wait .., how ..
Seeing as though the NHS still runs on 98 I'm not too worried . Or then again..
I'm also fairly sure my brother in laws software is still in use by the court's ( from the late 80s ) , it just so happens there's rumours of back doors and wiping of details if certain folks get arrested.

Maybe like get a Win 11 machine?
It's not a good idea and I'm sure people will be along here to explain why (or argue about it 
).
Personally, I am an IT professional. I gained Microsoft's Certified Systems Engineer status in 1997 (which included passing exams for Windows 95, NT 3.51 Server & Workstation) and I've been a Windows Insider (i.e. beta tester) for over 10 years. I started using Windows 11 at home 6 years ago, but completely replaced Windows 10 with 11 maybe 2 or 3 years ago (off the wifes & kids PCs, etc.).
Here's all my Windows Insider badges!

Is it possible to safely continue to use Windows 10 machines connected to a LAN but not the Internet?It's not a good idea and I'm sure people will be along here to explain why (or argue about it

I have a Windows 11 machine for internet use and would like to keep an using my Windows 10 MiniPCs as endpoints. Thanks.
I was thinking in buying one of those plugin TPM chips so that my PC becomes compliant for upgrading to Win11. But I am lazy and never got to do it.
Are those selling in AliExpress worth it? If not, any other suggestions?

*3.11 for work groups ?
If you completely airgap the Windows 10 PCs, i.e. put them on a separate network with no internet connectivity, then sure. But be aware that Windows 10 is going to talk to the internet all the time if it can, so it's not sufficient to leave it connected to a network with internet access and just not use it for browsing the web, etc.
Ah! Good old Windows for Warehouses
TPM modules are only £20 on Amazon, not sure i'd bother with a cheaper one direct from China...
Note that there other consideration with respect to Windows 11 'compatibility' and Microsoft have recently dropped support for a bunch of much newer CPUs (although I suspect this may be an error on Microsoft's part)... https://www.neowin.net/news/microso...cial-support-on-8th-9th-10th-gen-intel-cpus/?

I know it will come up. Switch to Linux on your Win 10 hardware to keep it safely useful.

Thanks
Do you know of any websites/links that describe how to correctly airgap in this way?
Thanks again.
