XP and Vista were so bad for Pro Audio that I actually switched to a Mac G5 for a few years.
Windows 7-10 have been extremely stable but wow, XP and Vista were just absolute garbage. |

So, I have an old Phenom II X6 computer that I run Windows 10 on. I'm certain that this old computer doesn't have the TPM hardware on it. In fact, this is the most modern computer that I own. 8GB DDR2, HD7850, 1GB HD, no SSD. I have a laptop from work which is much more modern.
Keep wanting to upgrade to a Ryzen 5600X however don't need the speed as I don't play FPS type games after burning out on Quake, Doom and Duke3D. Half of them are having the dreaded Windows Update failure. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and sfc /scannow seem to repair it for several months. I know at some point, AMD and MS are going to stop supporting this hardware. So, WTF is TPM? |

So I read that Windows 11 is replacing the Blue Screen of Death with..
The Black Screen of Death... No doubt that will make people feel better. I don't get the death screen as frequently as I used to but I have gotten it several times in the last six months. There is some combination between Visual Studio/Intel/and my software that the operating system doesn't seem thrilled about. |

Microsoft won’t stop you installing Windows 11 on older PCs
Microsoft is announcing today that it won’t block people from installing Windows 11 on most older PCs. While the software maker has recommended hardware requirements for Windows 11 — which it’s largely sticking to — a restriction to install the OS will only be enforced when you try to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through Windows Update. This means anyone with a PC with an older CPU that doesn’t officially pass the upgrade test can still go ahead and download an ISO file of Windows 11 and install the OS manually. https://www.theverge.com/22644194/mi...essors-changes |
