So now 3 year old hardware won't work on windows 11 which will be the only available option for a lot of people in 4 years.
That's 7 years only, a lot of perfectly usable computers will be get rid of for no reason other than mild security benefit. Seems like they want to go in mobile direction forcing people to buy new hardware every 4 years.
- HideousKojima 5y agoJust checked and I've been using my CPU for 6 years, and have no immediate need to upgrade
- userbinator 5y agoOver 10 years here (first-generation i7) - and indeed the hardware is more than fast enough for what I need. Then again, I've stayed away from Windows 10 too. Full-time Linux use is looking more and more pleasing...
- tffgg 5y agoI use a more than 10 year old CPU and it runs just fine with Windows 10
- pjmlp 5y agoI still remember back when the OS was partially shipped in ROM. You don't turn an Amiga 500 into a 600 by upgrading the OS.
- orionblastar 5y agothe 500 and 600 have different chipsets. The 600 has more expansion options than the 500. Kickstart is in ROM you need 1.3 to play the old Amiga games, and 3.1 for the AmigaOS 3.X stuff.
- pjmlp 5y agoExactly, because the whole package was the experience, not just some bits shipped in on a floppy.
