I've already been living this life for half a decade, since my PC's motherboard only supports up to Windows 10 v1909 for some reason. No idea why or what component could be the cause, but the later updates indeed fail to install and automatically roll back to v1909 when I try. They eventually updated the product page to mention it: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X10SAE https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X10SAE (at the very bottom)
> Note: Win 10 OS can't support beyond 19H2 version
Verdict: It's been actually amazing, and I had forgotten how much I love having a computer that never decides that it's acceptable to interrupt my workspace because it knows better than me. Anyone who wants to tell me to BE AFRAID is welcome to come haxx0r my Gibson and make me believe, otherwise I'll happily keep using this garbage forever ;)
- schmidtleonard 1y agoI'm very interested in learning which motherboard component blocks the first party malware because I want this too. Any ideas?
- neepi 1y agoProbably officially TPM related. However it'll probably work fine on Windows LTSC.
- hnuser123456 1y agoThe motherboard/C226 chipset is from 2013. You have memory integrity enabled and the old intel GPU drivers are not compatible with memory integrity in v2004+.
- Lammy 1y ago> the old intel GPU drivers I'm using a Xeon E3-1270 v3 which doesn't have integrated graphics. I'm pretty sure I don't even have the Intel iGPU drivers installed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_processors_(Haswell-based)#Xeon_E3-1270_v3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_processors_... Maybe just having the physical VGA port is enough to run afoul of it even though it's inoperable? Either way I'm fine with it v(._. )v
- jml7c5 1y agoI have a workstation board from around the same time. The issue is probably that Haswell/Broadwell-era processors are no longer supported. (For Intel CPUs, Windows 11 requires 8th generation (Coffee Lake) and higher.)
- Lammy 1y agoNot Windows 11; the last five feature updates to Windows 10, versions v2004, 20H2, 21H1, 21H2, and 22H2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history#Version_2004_(May_2020_Update) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_version_history#Ver... “Luckily” I already had a physical Windows 2019 Server on my LAN, had Windows 10 Enterprise on all my clients, and had my own Active Domain set up, because that was the only official way to configure it to spy on me less†, so it was easy enough to create an additional Group Policy pinning `ProductVersion` to `Windows 10` and `TargetReleaseVersion` to `1909`‡ and WMI-filtering it to my Haswell Xeon machine so it would stop nagging me: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-update#targetreleaseversion https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/... † I'm still not optimistic enough to say “configure it to not spy on me” lol ‡ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cznpPMomJXw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cznpPMomJXw
- jml7c5 1y agoAh, I misread. How strange!
