Windows 11 must be stopped
- Thread starter Cbdb2
- Start date
I feel sorry for people that go to the race-track to bet on one of 8 horses in any of the 8 different races of the day (or wutever).
A long time ago, betting on the best horse (in the glue factory) was a no brainer, as we only had just a few OperatingSystems to pick from.
I feel enchanted that the horse I picked before the OS wars, is still in the running.
I don't even mind that (although I have the TPM/BitLocker) my Z170 (6thGen/Skylake/i7-6700K) system is being b/locked from upgrading to Win11Pro. I had aimed to retire this workhorse server/streamer/VidCam recording rig, after 5 years but it just won't die.
In 7 years, maintenance has been a few vacuum jobs internal to the 4U chassis and a single thermal paste replacement.
Oh, I forgot to discuss my reasons why "Windows11 Must Be Stopped".
Got none...

That's lots of pooder power for domestic use and surfing. Maybe even some FPS gaming with a decent video card. Have you tried bypassing the stuff that blocks it from installing? I think with a Z170 and such you can do it.
It's been running w/o crashes at ^15%OC.
Was in the InsidersPreview 'guinea-pig' program, while Microsoft vacillated and allowed me to install Win11Pro twice... w/permission.
Two NUCs in the house run Win11Pro fine.
The Asus Z170Dlx is perfectly happy running multiple real-time a/v/network/disk management tasks under Windows10Pro.
Until the retirement of the current rig, the horizontally-locked Taskbar of Windows11 is a deal-breaker for me...
DittO! I'm the same way. I use it @ the left side. It makes sense there.
Yes, I bought a fresh Win10 OEM for installation via USB drive at home. It was troublesome. I had to hunt down a UEFI BIOS setting that was incorrect. It would not see the NVMe drive. The newest 500GB Samsung Pro version.Didn't you just upgrade to a Z690 system? But kept Win10?
That would be die-hard...
This fixed it after trying about 6 other fixes this one worked.
Why can’t I enable CSM on my new motherboard?

This is a fun one! You get a new motherboard with an Intel 500 Series chipset. You decide to just use the integrated graphics in the CPU, but you can't boot! It turns out your actual boot drive is missing from the Boot options menu. Gonzerooni! WTH?! UPDATE Nov 2023: Watch the video instead...

Not Win10Pro?? Would be shame!
Similar procedures as yours worked flawless for both NUC8 and NUC10. hmmm...
Just Home... I usually buy Pro but I was not using the features. I just game, surf, netflix, ASR etc.

I also have an ASUS Z-170 6700K system running a 15% OC and a GTX 1070. Been very good for me since 2016.It's been running w/o crashes at ^15%OC.

The 1070 is a solid card. It runs 1080p very well at high frame rate oftentimes.

This is simply not true. You do not need a MS account to either install or run Win 11! Just a valid license, and in many cases a Win 10 license would do.
And for the fun of it, yours truly runs fully licensed, fully functional Win 11 Pro on his 2012 Dell Precision T5500’s. The ones with legacy-only BIOS (ie no secure boot or even simple UEFI support)… yet with 4TB hard drives, bootable NVMe drives, and again with licensed fully operational (including getting updates) Win 11! Sweet!

I'm glad you're happy with it ... I would not be.

Really? That's your reply?
How? You stop it by running an OS version that doesn't even try it.
Why? Because I have absolutely no desire to see private legal documents stored on someone else's computer.
Privacy and the secrecy of certain documents is important. That two entire generations do not appreciate this is, well, rather scary.
You guys really don't get this do you... it's not a privacy thing ... it's a secrecy thing.

chill dude. When I “reply”, I tend to quote or address the person. Not everything here is about you (or me).

…baby dinosaurs to papa dinosaurs: “Daddy, daddy, they’ve invented a thing called ‘MS OneDrive’ [’Apple iCloud’] that lets me to access my files from any computer without a floppy! Should I put my W-2’s and 1040s there!?”
(and what now feels like waaaay back): “Daddy, daddy, they’ve invented a thing called ‘Amazon’ - where you can shop online! Give your credit card and then not sure when/if/what you get. Scary!”
