This is absolutely ridiculous-why would they abandon support for hundreds of perfectly capable 8th-10th gen systems?It seems microsoft is deliberately trying to force people to buy new hardware through this vile move of theirs!!

Absolutely, that is their intentions.

 

[quicky008]

how can the system requirements of a OS change and deviate so wildly during its lifetime? Its nothing but a ploy to introduce forced obsolescence for consumers that are still using older hardware.

Till date my MSi Laptop is getting and installing 24H2 updates successfully onto my machine. No issues so far.

Those Systems continue to get updates and run Windows 11. That notification was for the oem to not make any new systems with those older Processors.

You Can Still Setup Windows 11 Without Logging Into a Microsoft Account, Courtesy of a New “CMD-Based” Workaround​

Microsoft recently implemented a "security" measure to ensure users log into a Microsoft account to install Windows 11, but another bypass has emerged online.

Microsoft always finds a way to bug users with Windows 11 and its security measures. In a previous report, we discussed how the firm had patched the popular bypass script "bypassnro.cmd" that allowed users to complete OS installation without setting up a Microsoft account. While the announcement certainly wasn't a joyful one, it seems like a workaround has already been figured out by the X user @witherornot1337. It simply involves executing a command on the CMD, and here's how you can do it, too.

So, with what I have interpreted, the ms-cxh command is responsible for most of the Windows 11 OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) process, and with the "local only" tag alongside it, it forces the Microsoft Cloud Experience Host (CXH) to skip the internet and Microsoft account requirements. Apparently, the process is defined by a JSON file located within CXH directories, and by this, you can now skip setting up a Microsoft account, which is troublesome, especially if you are looking forward to accessing your OS quickly on the first run.

Maybe Microsoft will patch this method out as well with the next Windows 11 insider update since it claims not setting up a Microsoft account is a "security issue," but for now, this bypass works just fine.

I recently updated my laptop to windows 11. With just chrome with few tabs, the idle ram usage is 50%. I have 20gb of RAM. Is it normal ? I couldn't do a clean install and did a windows 10 to 11 update instead. Are there any tweaking tools to disable unnecessary services ?

There are Windows 11 Debloat programs like *github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
