Windows 11 release date

[Random_User]

Microsoft has just announced that Windows 11 is set for release on October 05, 2021.

And you can also expect "Windows 11 block bypassers" and "Allow Windows 11 updates on unsupported hardware" tools to follow shortly after.

I'll be getting a new PC with Windows 11 rather than using hacks.

I wonder what the physical box/package will look like.

I'm thinking like the same as Windows 10, but the wallpaper is the bg

What I am concerned about is how to smoothly upgrade the machine that does not support TPM

Once it is released, it WILL be tough for 32-bit computers, since Windows 11 only works with x64 PCs now.

Who still using x86 only processor in 2021 ?

Fact: Windows 11 apparently will run on "unsupported" hardware. The only thing stopping you is Windows Update. Proves that Windows 11 Strict Requirements are artificial

Unfortunately, there are probably people out there still using 32-bit processors on their PC.

Not any recent ones though I'd bet. Over 90% of computers made today use x64 processors.

It's a business decision. Continuing to spend extra money on supporting 32 bit only systems isn't a good use of resources. Take means keeping x86 codes on the server for testing, training tech support and debugging issues related to that specific architecture.

Not only that but it could be a security hole if nobody's designing updates for x86 hardware

They probably stuck with x86 probably because of budget, especially low income areas.

Those PC would be so slow that they won't even get the "Windows 11 experience" that MS is delivering. I can't think of using a PC with less than 4GB RAM these days.

because of games and even worse browsing

find me a browser that doesn't hog memory
even derivets from older moz code struggle

before "html 5", i could have had literarly ~100 tabs oppened with old opera 11
it wouldn't come to 3 GB RAM

today even with less resource hungry browser, 10 tabs , 2 gigs no problem ...

Yeah, and also they could use black and white as the boxes' background colour (ala dark and light mode), with the Windows 11 screen inside at the front of the box.

I don't think you realize that HTML5 is much more stable than Flash, and also allows for more complex web pages than regular HTML. Also Firefox doesn't hog memory, as it only runs 4 "instances" of tabs at a time.

I made my own mockups on my DeviantArt.

who mentioned flash ?
flash isn't even part of "html", it was just plugin.
