Is returning to Windows 10 a wise move?
Is returning to Windows 10 a wise move?
Figures... There are still many running at 10. I should begin receiving beta versions of 24H2 soon.
I didn't install Win 11 with the MS Update Tool. The R7 lacks TPM support so I had to do a work around by changing a few things in the registry. In other words, I forced it to work! Wait...there's a knock at the door. I think it's the monster I created.

FTPM refers to firmware embedded in the CPU. It may have simply required activation. Regardless, your setup is likely compatible with Windows 11. However, reverting to Windows 10 would involve a complete reset and reinstallation. There isn't an obvious "back" option either. We still lack clarity on which applications aren't designed for Windows 11.
In that scenario I perceive your choices like this:
Clear the system, reinstall Windows 10 and remove the unwanted software, enjoy peace until October 14, 2025
Keep modifying your current Win11 configuration
Add a TPM module and attempt a non-hacking Windows 11 installation
Purchase a new machine after October 14, 2025 (the date Dell is pushing)
Switch to Linux!
