Updating to Windows 11 is now acceptable.
i always emphasize a clean installation, avoid in-place upgrades. regarding the usability of Windows 11, rather than spending time figuring out Linux or the frustrating tiny11 experience, focus on properly configuring win11. it actually requires minimal time; the settings interface is surprisingly intuitive, and most issues people face (except for the Microsoft account problem) are simple toggles within the settings menu. yes, you can easily disable OneDrive using the interface. i plan to revisit setting up win11 soon—after a rough start—and I’ll likely document my process on the forum for future reference. don’t attempt tiny11; it’s essentially pointless to try installing it on real hardware. tiny11, in its wisdom, suggests trimming down windows 11, but that approach has left its driver installation capabilities severely limited, bringing you back to a driver setup similar to Windows XP. i hope you retained the driver CDs for network drivers.
It really does sound fine. If they completely stop updates, I'm out of options.
It completely ruins hardware compatibility. The issue isn't just turning off Windows updates—it’s like they wiped the system from space and deleted the driver library entirely. Setting up tiny11 on a machine and then fixing all the drivers is way more complicated than simply installing Windows 11 and removing unwanted components. Also, based on what I know, this likely impacts certain USB devices since Windows can’t retrieve drivers for new hardware automatically.
Turn off text-to-speech and attempt reading again. The software fails all hardware compatibility checks. Many users report issues due to missing chipset drivers causing crashes before reaching the desktop. Unless you want the system to stop working entirely, that’s your choice.
You're referring to deploying many machines using Tiny11, and the only challenge is activating the Print Spooler manually.
You've had a very fortunate experience so far. It looks like tiny11 resolved the issue recently, and since you're talking about deployment, it's likely they installed all the required drivers either during the ISO setup or immediately after installation.
I installed the driver myself by hand. This means I used SDI.
It's definitely not a crisis at the moment, if you're looking for clarity.
