Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11

It's a great advert for Ubuntu anyway

Windows 11 installs still dramatically trail Windows 10

I have a rig with Windows 10, and haven't upgraded because.. Microsoft arbitrarily say my CPU is unsupported, even though it meets all the criteria.
- Bypassing takes a click if you download the reg files (there's an install version and an upgrade version)
  
  Or more clicks if you have to do it manually
  
  My CPU is from 2013 running win11 perfectly fine and fast
  
  That sounds like a lot of work for what seems to be a worse or at least 'meh' experience.
  
  It's not a lot of work, but enough to be annoying and feel irritating. They treat us like they're doing us a favor, when really they need us to use Windows 11 to enable their services to be profitable. It's annoying when companies make us jump through hoops to take our money
  
  If you mean the speed is meh, I'm here to say that it's exactly as fast as win10 for me which is as fast as a cluttered heavy Linux system
  
  Which is still fast for my CPU even tho it's 10yo
- I siavled the TPM module so it’ll keep saying this. Can’t be forced into an upgrade if the cpu doesn’t seem to be supported
  
  You also seem to have siavled your ability to spell
  
  That I have
  
  Autocorrect can’t save me always, but it’s pretty damn good
  
  This is the thing with my CPU. It has TPM, it's enabled, and the upgrade tool says that's fine. The installer doesn't make it clear what the issue is, it's like: Congrats, your CPU satisfies these three bullet points, but no, you still can't have Win 11.
