    Is there a way to make my PC seemingly not support Windows 11 so the annoying update nags go away? I’ll never use that shit OS.

      You can set a registry value so that there is no upgrade to win 11, but I don’t know if it only works on enterprise.

      A few of my boxes have 7th gen processors. I get the nags and then it comes up and says oh sorry you’re not eligible.

        Yup, that did the trick for me. I actually tried to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10, and it refused to saying my HW wasn’t good enough (1st gen Ryzen), I boot into my Linux partition and the problem goes away, no nags to install Windows 11, and I still get to play all the same games I did on Windows 10.

        Seems to be a pretty permanent solution so far. ;)

      Good luck come October of next year when Windows 10 goes EOL

      Personally I’m just treating Windows 11 as a 2025 kind of problem…

        Ever more reason to switch to Linux sooner than later. Otherwise, Windows 10 LTSC or Pro for Workstation.

        I’m hoping for Windows 12. Just like I skipped from Win 7 straight to 10, 8 was completely unusable.

        There’s a long term support version for 10 as well, until 2029. That would be the alternative, if whatever successor they choose is as bad or worse.
