I'm wondering if not upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11 will be considered EOL

I have a powerful gaming desktop but says not eligible to upgrade to win 11

You can upgrade to Windows 11 LTSC Enterprise IoT - it has leaner hardware requirements, but also less bloatware

I will check that out thanks

After Oct 14, yes. You won't receive security patches

sucks gotta dump the box, excuse to get an SFF I guess

Make sure to dump via eBay or such so us Linux users can take advantage of the cheap hardware:)

Yeah idk, I need a windows computer, I do use all 3 to develop on but yeah

I'm not a PC builder myself, nice to see the designs people come up with

That's my point: You might need Windows, but some of us don't have that problem and would like to take that hardware off your hands.

10th gen intel should be compatible with windows 11. Might need to change a bios setting

It's only really the CPU and motherboard that need updating, right?

Uh I mean if you're gonna throw a big GPU in the trash I'll haul it away for only ten bucks...

I thought it was some TPM thing

My rig is not that impressive, i9 with 4070 what sucks is the ram is locked for some reason at 2400mhz even if I buy ram that is faster than that so idk. I swear it that was the specific cpu (10th gen)

I did go through a bunch of steps checking trying to get it to work, stuff in bios enabling settings

I think the TPM lives in the mobo somewhere. Might as well reuse the HDD, SSD, GPU, PSU, and chassis

Good point, find same size/socket

You can have my Windows 10 from my cold dead hands ha
