PSA: UUPDump have been seeing an increase in traffic since Windows 11's launch, and this video will probably make that much worse. Please be patient if we "hug of death" the site. -AY
Within the first hour of installing Windows 11, I had a WIM file created, and started experimenting with it. Factory resets, desktop to laptop, etc. It's pretty open, but I hate that keyboard shortcuts aren't currently working properly.
Remember all those modded Windows? Windows XP Dark Edition, Black Edition, 2007 with Enhanced Security yada yada… I'm sure we'll have cracked ISO ready for any machine on the net. The only way Microsoft can stop this is to make Windows 11 super resource hungry that only 99th gen Intel CPUs or higher can handle it. Then THAT may put an end to my beloved 4790k
Too bad this video exists AFTER I installed Win11 insider preview on my haswell pc and i went through a few trial and errors before finally able to install it 👌
You sure the unlinking of your MS account does work? I have never tried it, but I've had an old university account linked to my Windows profile for using the discounted office license I was able to get with this account. To this day my Windows install refuses to forget this university account even though I have removed it from everywhere in the settings app. For example if I want to add a new email adress in Outlook the field is pre-filled with that university email. (I've reinstalled office several times since and have a regular 365 subscription to my "normal" MS account.)
It seems like a chicken egg situation here. The issue is that we can install windows 11 on older hardware but it's not recommended to do so because of the OEMs which only support hardware for 2-3 years. That means the OEMs are pretty rubbish in only supporting their hardware for a few years and Microsoft is restricted in the desing of the OS by them not keeping their products up to date.
12:31 that you can unlink later is iircc literally what ms tellls you when you ask for more info when it asks to set up an ms acc, even in w10 home already if you have internet connected.
Ryzen 2000 series laptop APU's have all the required features for Windows 11 yet their getting excluded from the list. So Microsoft is excluding chips that are 100% capable and compatible based on their own statements about Windows 11 requirements. Some are saying its because its based off first gen Ryzen yet the chip has the 2nd gen components that Microsoft says is required. Ryzen 2000 series laptop APU's are effectively 1.5 gen Ryzen. Even running a compatibility check will show it meets every single requirement but since its name isn't on the "list" it won't be supported.

I HAVE WINDOWS 11 HAHA TAKE THAT
Great video Linus and Anthony – thank you. Hopefully you will revisit this topic in the future once the GA version of Windows 11 is released.

Anthony is a god
TPM 2.0 only
The Transition to the Sponser Was Clean👌 lowkey

The way he transitions into his sponsors are so smooth that you don't even expect when to see it.
The only people rushing to buy a new pc, are the idiots browsing the pcmr subreddit.
Surely some of these time stamps could be consolidated 😂. Looks like the timeline made an enemy with a samurai
I've been able to run latest windows 10 on both 1st gen i7 and AMD x2 6000+ without issues
Why when Anthony explains something ,it makes me relaxed
I'm gonna go Debian this time

Oh well, it's all worth the struggle! 👍
watching this video on my hp 6000 sff, core 2 duo e8600, with windows 7 dual boot with ubuntu 20.04

That sponsor transition caught me off guard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What do u mean? don't buy a pc for win 11. I'm still waiting on buying a reasonably priced video card……….

I literally just ordered a new gaming pc
at this point in time, it's just easier to scrap an old windows pc and install a proper OS like Zorin OS
I just installed windows 11 pro on xeon e3 1220 v2 with asrock b75m dgs 😅😅
a lot of as of right now… microsoft will probably ensure you cannot weasle your way around the security measures of their homegrown malware…
me watching whole lot of info on hoe to get windows 11 ready to install despite using cellular 3gb/day data sad
I think I hear Linux calling.
I wonder if Linus reads his comments

As long as you can keep the files the same as any other upgrade im happy
my TPM's specification version is 2.0 and secure boot is on but PC health check says that i cant run windows 10, why?!
