Well nobody thinks updates would make Windows run better either, I just want security patches

Understandable.

I Implement/configure my own security measures, which have served me well for decades.

That's actually all I'm asking from windows updates !

Yeah there are easy workarounds (creating the boot drive with Rufus seems to be the cleanest) , TPM requirement is just for the show.

I see. That's nice to hear. If I ever do get the chance to upgrade, at least I won't have to bother with TPM if I don't want it.

Clearly, they want people to migrate to Windows 11. However, it would be very nice if they could expand its hardware compatibility list a little bit. I personally wasn't able to upgrade because for some reason, my i7-6600U processor turned out to be incompatible with Win 11 (when, mind you, even Celerons and i3s are). Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HAHA yes, I reverted back to windows 11 because it was shioty. Sure nice looks, yeah you got cool animations and shit, but it sucked in many ways. ON my Samsung laptop 360, it would glitch so bad when using chrome. Like lines would move from top to bottome horizontally…On top of that, when my laptop goes to sleep and wakes up, the screen’s text is blurrered and super highly contrast. After touching the screen and using the mouse pad it went back to regular, but performance was kind of shit at times.

Solution: Keep  my custom windows 10, take windows 11, and shove it up their asse’s. I knew I should’ve wait for another 3 years before giving windows 11 a chance… (I waited like 2-3 years for windows 10, perhaps longer.)

That's strange.

I have Windows 11 Installed on 7 laptops, all of which are operating without any Issues whatsoever. That aside, given the problems you've experienced, you did the right thing.

Anyway, what really got me this time, was marketing, I finally fell for marketing, lol. As for windows 8, that was pure garbage! I don’t know what people were thinking when building windows 8. After trying windows 8, I reverted back to windows 7, and when windows 10 made an announcement, I was like, dam some more shit probably XD, so I stuck with windows 7 for a long time. Until windows 7 didn’t fit my needs anymore.

That's unfortunate. It's a wise decision to wait a little bit, since new products are often buggy on release. Windows 11 doesn't offer that much more than Windows 10 anyway, so in the end, it makes little difference!

Yeah, always wait, never fall for marketing. Perhaps in a couple years once everyone settles on 11, I’ll move to it. But for now. Me and my beautiful custom windows 10 will sit back and watch others go into self-destruction. Also it reminded me of Android for some reason. Like once I head into the settings and stuff, what a weird feeling when navigating.

Sounds like a good plan There's still time, after all. Windows 10 End Of Life isn't until 2025, and as Oni posted, Microsoft will continue to provide security patches and critical updates until then. It's perfectly fine to wait until Windows 11 proves to be a more reliable OS before upgrading ^^

I also can't handle marketing and In terms of Windows 8, I share the same opinion.

Every OS I Install, Is stripped and customized to my needs, therefore suited to my usability and not Microsoft.

XD agree man, really love to make my windows custom. Plus I gotta remove a lot of unnecessary things that come with windows…It might be a somewhat long process, but hey, it’s worth it.

We both operate In a similar fashion.

With regard to stripping and customizing Windows 10, I use this tool. It serves Its purpose extremely well, though It doesn't support Windows 11 as yet. There are also previous versions of the tool available for Windows 7 and 8.
