No i used my insider microsoft account and signed in to get preview builds on the dev channel for now. Just to update my Windows 10 to the 11 preview build that is released.

I’m not sure if i should stay with getting preview builds until close to the release of the final Windows 11? Or i could turn it off and waiting now?
I signed my leaked DEV build up to the insider program and it upgraded to the latest build. I like the new settings menu a lot.

It does not make much sense to stop with them now. Now you have started. If you want to stay, it is better to do it on Windows 10. Then switch to Windows 11 when everything is ready for release.

There’s an official preview iso now. I downloaded it out of curiosity, but have yet to attempt installation.

Will probably get to work on it in the morning. I am hesitant to add a new issue (rEFInd) without figuring out the root cause and plausibly having two borked bootloaders. Are there existing instructions for fixing GRUB with the live EnOS disk?
Yup - our wiki has some. Summary is arch-chroot - ensure os-prober active, then reconfig grub I think. BTW - rEFInd is easily removed if it isn’t for you - and changes nothing else. It will even boot the grub entry for you if you want!

Thanks. I’ll let you no tomorrow.
This has been one of the most active topics on this forum.
Sad.

Microsoft invests a lot in Linux and open source.
Windows 11 comes with these very strict hardware requirements that keep the Windows community in a stir.
Perhaps this is my imagination running wild, but I can see a correlation between the above facts.
Are Microsoft’s openness and availability of their most-used apps on Linux has to do with the fact that they can “ditch” average “older hardware” users on Linux saying, you don’t have to buy new hardware, MS Edge, Office, Teams etc. are also working on a Linux system, so they can “justify” each major Windows release?

Well, I’m effed either way right now. I can’t get into chroot. Perhaps I am missing something. Here is my fdisk -l.

System is on /dev/nvme0n1. Home is on /dev/sda. I have not mounted anything since a clean boot to the USB (after a bunch of failures). If anyone can try to help in step by step, I would REALLY appreciate it.
You knew very well that windoze is malware, yet you proceeded to install it on your EndeavourOS computer…

I think they are rethinking the system requirements. Seen some posts here and there about it. Otherwise, they exclude very many who can not run Windows 11.
I have around 7 computers and only 1 that has CPU support for Windows 11. They are not that old. A few years old.
I agree with this but I dont think they wanted to re-think the list. I think they got the news from all the Tech sites complaining about the supported list. I own 5 PCs in my house for instance and none of them could upgrade to Windows 11 if I wanted to. In this market with chip shortage and bitcoin mining driving prices up quite a bit, especially on GPU and high end CPUs it does not make sense to force people to purchase new computers, so they will leave your OS when they can.
If Microsoft would have kept their plans, eventually all my machines that run Windows, including mine for some games here and there, would become full-time Linux machines.
