internet explorer 8 required updates windows xp

Probably the same people bitching about 11 now.I am neutral to Windows 11 (not using it), but what is really annoying is what they are doing with the frankly silly 'official' requirements. 11 haters are kind of slow people it seems. Some might like it, there was a time I liked it, but it is annoying when they forcing updates that remove software you are using, sometimes even delete your files, then force you to share our data and use their services non existing when you decided to buy an licence.

It is totally different with changes sience Windows 8 and even worse since Windows 10, when the OS is in the constant beta version state and users are unpaid testers. 7 wasn't a lot better than Vista, but by the time most of the users had multi core 64bt CPUs with 4GB of RAM and DirectX 9c GPU. Having Vista on them was a terrible experience. But there were a lot of people with Vista ready PC, that weren't actually ready. It was working almost OK, and after the first SP it was all good. I've moved from XP to Vista rather quickly but I had a new gaming PC.

Probably the same people bitching about 11 now.Well you like it and that's fine. Posted on Apr 4th 2024, 19:29 Reply #19 80-watt Hamster I am a person that says the economy hasn't been doing people great favors over the last 7 years, and outside of PC enthusiast forums where upgrading is the norm, regular people with thin wallets not having a TPM does not surprise me. Intel wasn't exactly innovating before Ryzen came along. Probably the same people bitching about 11 now.I think you're misconstruing people annoyed by the requirements to use 11 as opposed to 11 itself.Īnyone saying Sky/Kaby Lake are perfectly functioning hardware that should have happily hummed along for a decade as people's daily driver have a valid point - especially considering how Intel stagnated and sold 4 core CPUs for far too long. I intend to upgrade to AM5 this summer, but with the recent earthquake I wouldn't be surprised if retailers surge-price the parts out of my range for lulz. 'Just upgrade bro' is destroyed when that's a moderate timeframe for PC ownership, especially given that 2000-series GPUs still dominate Steam hardware surveys. I built the PC in my profile specs in July 2016 using a ROG motherboard released late 2015, and don't have a TPM. Very easy to have a Sky/Kaby Lake and not have a TPM. Bought my mom a i7-7500U laptop back then and it is fully supported.The TPM is the sticking point especially at that generational level. Dro7th Gen (Kaby Lake) should be supported by Windows 11 as long as you have a TPM.

Dec 11th 2023 Microsoft Announces October 2025 Date for Windows 10 End of Support (102).ESU licenses resemble the OS's main license-you either buy them electronically through the Microsoft Store or Windows 365 or as 25-digit codes in retail. If you plan on keeping your Windows 10 through till 2028, it will cost you a total of $427 for the three years, per machine. This doubles again the following year, with the final October 2027 to October 2028 leg costing $244. The October 2026 to October 2027 leg will cost you $122. Here's where it gets crazy-the price of ESU doubles each year. Under the Extended Security Updates (ESU) plan for Windows 10, you can purchase a year's worth regular 'patch Tuesday' security updates at $61, and keep Windows 10 alive till October 2026. Microsoft already has a retirement plan in place, which sees the company discontinue regular security updates for the operating system on October 14, 2025, but you can keep getting these updates beyond that date, for a price. This is especially true for businesses or other organizations that aren't sold on Windows 11. Microsoft Windows 10 is an operating system quite a few people don't want to upgrade from, and some don't even consider the move to Windows 11 an upgrade.
