I didn't mean for everyone to adopt Linux; at least on Linux Tech Tips. Now you're inserting my words. I mainly use Windows updates inside a VM running Linux. Still, I’d suggest those who don’t need Windows for anything would be better off moving to Linux; since older systems can’t handle 11. I’m talking about the users stuck with Windowslatest who grumble about CPU support issues. What other option exists? Especially if they can’t afford a replacement, just run it? Sorry. But 11’s future looks uncertain given these comments: based on feedback, many are due to tight hardware demands. Otherwise, widespread use of 11 would be happening now. Considering this, I applaud Linus and Luke for highlighting Linux. The more people discuss it, the faster improvements come. So I expect more new Linux users thanks to that. Honestly, some don’t like how Windows is evolving. Did I say Linux is flawless? No. But at least it lets you keep using your existing hardware—something Windows won’t allow from now on. Anyway, what I meant (if you read this thread) is they should try Team OS mods. They’re cleaner, free from bloat, and work without constraints like CPU/TPM/Secure boot requirements. Got it?
Sorry, busy responding to other posts before answering the thread starters question! lol. Yes! this build is perfect for older, lower spec PC's! (IMO) Personally, I've installed these builds on 10 year old BIOS systems with HDD and Intel CPU, a nearly 8 year old UEFI laptop with HDD and Intel CPU (that originally came with Windows 8 installed), and brand new 2021 Ryzen 5th Gen systems with NVMe storage. They work with TPM and Secure Boot disabled as well, I've tested with it both enabled and disabled, which is great news for older PC's with no TPM (for the Win 11 versions)
I share your view, it's absurd for Microsoft to impose such strict hardware rules for Windows 11. They should collaborate with manufacturers and earn significant profits from this, but it feels unfair and unnecessary. In reality, Windows 11 doesn't require more powerful hardware than a system capable of running Windows 10. Many users can still run it efficiently by optimizing or fine-tuning the operating system. I'm currently using a Phoenix 11 build on a Dell Inspiron 11 with Intel N3530 and 4GB RAM, all drivers installed, consuming only 800 MB of idle memory. This shows that what Microsoft claims is unrealistic. However, it can be easily circumvented for those who want to run it on older, incompatible hardware—luckily.
Of course, they are all partnered up. They are all huddled together around a camp fire with other manufacturers trying to come up with a plan on how to milk people for their money. What's new? Anyway, I am using the Phoenix 11 mod of Windows 11 in a VM with GPU pass through. So far at idle, it only uses 700/800 MB and runs only 40 processes. Which is a stark difference compared to how the stock version of Windows 11 runs. Not to mention, the base install is under 4 GB in size. Now that seems a lot more realistic.
It's a straightforward idea. Future safety is the goal. New computers come with the operating system pre-installed, and because it's all about fresh PCs, they gradually become more secure as time passes. Manufacturers set a benchmark to follow, and improvements happen when more devices include this OS and the necessary protections. Custom configurations and those who want the newest OS on older hardware often overlook it—this is understandable. It's puzzling how some still miss the point, but it seems many quickly assume hidden malicious or self-serving motives behind software choices.
There are many additional modifications available beyond what's listed on Team OS. Would you like me to explore those options?
