Agreed. A similar ‘hack’ could be “I bought a Steam Deck for free, all I had to do was to work for 22 hours at a job that earned me $25/hour”

Or perhaps, the pro version for free, due to the sub we’re in? Mobilism
If the old tablet is Android, Fotoo is perfect. Yes it costs, but one off fee and worth it. Can pull from so many different sources.
Personally, I still use Google Photos. Both my wife and I have us, the kids and pets all autotagged into an album for all the pictures taken on our phones and Fotoo randomly shows these on the Nexus 7 tablet I have taped into a wooden frame.
To quote Under Siege 2 “assumption is the mother of all fuck ups”.
3 years, dude! 😁
Enjoy giving Windows 11 a proper spin. I recommend choosing “English (World)” as the language/location, then you don’t get any of the post install bloat / sponsored apps, etc installed too. Then when you log in, just change your locale to the correct one if you want to use the Microsoft Store. Or don’t, if you want that to remain disabled.
30 seconds on Google would’ve answered your question.
The TPM is part of the Intel Management Engine in your CPU.
In your motherboard UEFI firmware, goto Security - Trusted Computing and enable Security Device support.
Et voilà.
It’s not directly the TPM - it’s the enhanced security instructions in the newer chips (which is the real reason for the very definite line drawn).
Read https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/why-windows-11-has-such-strict-hardware-requirements-according-to-microsoft/ from “A towering stack of security acronyms”
No chance.
You concentrate on the TPM but ignore the CPU requirements…? If you have a CPU that is up to spec, you have a TPM - they’re built in the CPU. Most people just need to turn it on in the BIOS (or update their BIOS as motherboard manufacturers have turned on the TPM as “Windows 11 support”)
The truth of it is, every “jump” OS, i.e. 95, XP, 7, 10 has run really poorly on >5 year old chips at the time of launching. And MS got panned at “how slow” is was. But it was also the norm to update your PC more often. Now speed increases have slowed and Moore’s Law has ended, it’s about security and performance hit of said security. The truth is, the kernel hardening and malware protection and encryption built into 11 to make it far less likely to get infected than 10 and 7 means it needs the hardware support to do it. Without it, it runs far slower or is less secure. Neither anyone wants.
When 10 support ends in 2 years time, the lowest supported processor for 11 will be nearly 9 years old…
This is the GOAT 🐐
Certainly YMMV. I have an HP 8720 and it works wirelessly perfectly, Windows finds it and installs it automatically. Including the scanner. Even works from my wife’s Chromebook. I can print from my Android phone without any issue.
I do pay for the HP ink subscription, but it’s only 99p per month, and that’s 15 pages with rollover and that suits our need 99% of the time.
I had reliability issues with PiHole and moved to AdGuardHome a couple of years ago. It has never, ever crashed and the updates takes a couple of seconds. It rocks.
Yes, our 365 team got estimates from Microsoft about 3 weeks ago.
If we don’t cull our usage before next August, our renewal will be £1m more than this year… That’s for 70,000 accounts and a whole lotta SharePoint.
Wait until Corporate sees the new data storage rates for 365 for next year and their potential new bill for cloud storage.
They’ll be spinning up those server room file servers in no time.
Though someone hacked it a few years ago and took it over. Demanded money from me and I told them to f off, as I hadn’t used it for years.
