    Install Linux bare metal and run Windows in a VM.
    There is no week nor day nor hour, when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their supreme confidence in themselves -- and lose their roughness and spirit of defiance -- Tyranny may always enter -- there is no charm, no bar against it -- the only bar against it is a large resolute breed of men.

      I dunno never tried it. Probably. Windows 10 installs with Windows 7 and 8 codes. I dunno why you would do that to yourself though. I have 11 on a testing laptop and it sucks ***.

        Building PC for a friend. He, and I, are Windows people. I built a machine for him in 2020. Why he wants Win 11 I don?t know. But the old machine will not support it. That damn TPM.

        Figured I would download the Win 11 upgrade ISO and try his Win 10 license.

          Windows is basically spyware now there's so much telemetry monitoring you. Dump it unless you airgap it and never connect to the internet.

            Sorry, I am a 75 year old old fart.

            I don?t have the time or inclination to learn a new OS, new email program, new word processing program, new spreadsheet program, new photo editor, new database program and new ASP development suite.

              The Internet says yes, yes you can. Activation keys as far back as Windows 8 will probably work.

                Win 11 sucks. I "upgraded" it from Win 10 and within a week, downgraded back to Win 10.

                  I have a Win 10 machine and a new Win 11 machine.

                  Other than moving things around, which they always do between versions, what is wrong with 11?

                    I bought a second machine with Win 11. first thing I did was google 'how to make Win 11 look like Win 10. Yes, some things are moved around and for the life of me I don't see how they are 'better'.
                    At any rate, not worth getting excited about. BUT don't get me started on Micorsoft 360. There is a money maker for Microsoft with no real advantages for the ordinary user.
                    "I am responsible for what I say, not what you understand."
                    or to say it another way:
                    "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

                      Your age has nothing to do with your privacy. If you need some guidance on this, don't hesitate to ask.

                        I bought Start11 from Stardock which will give you some UI customizability for Win11. Start10 was a great addition to my Win10 install that I've running for years.

                          TBH, it was the tiles. Didn't know I could change the settings so it looked like win 10. Also, slowed the computer way down on my laptop.

                            Yes you can. I have installed fresh Win10 and Win11 ISO with Win7 keys on old desktop/laptop COA stickers code.

                            Here is the registry fix for TPM and CPU unsupported error for Win11:

                            i. Open Regedit
                            ii. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
                            iii. Create a DWORD (32-bit) Value called AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU and Set Value to 1
                            If it's red, you're dead.

                              Clean install of Win 11 with no network connection refused Win 10 license. Bought Win 11 key from a place Tom?s Hardware mentioned. PC accepted it fine still with no network connection.
