I was just telling the wife a few days ago that one of these days my old desktop will need to be replaced. I'm going to wait as long as possible.
My mother board has a TPM slot but only supports up to version 1.2, I seen nothing in setup for secure boot.
GPT partition. please give me a break.

I still have quite a few XP laptops. They are usually snappy if they have 1GB of RAM or more. I even have a number of old Alienware laptops that still runs XP. Those were some beautiful machines before Dell bought them out. I swear you can bake cookies from the heat being blown out of those rear vents. They also double as space heaters.

''according to NetMarketShare, 1.15% of all machines are still -- still -- running XP. There are a couple of billion desktops and laptops in use across the planet. Even using rough estimates, 1.15% of a two billion+ is about 25 million. Yes, there are more than 25 million XP machines still in service. And just in case you don't keep track of such things, let me remind you that Windows XP is 19 years old. XP's latest release, Service Pack 3 (5.1.2600.5512), was released on April 21, 2008 -- 13 years ago.''

''If you're curious how entrenched older Windows versions are, we can get a good estimate by visiting a dataset maintained by the United States Government Digital Analytics Program. This dataset contains a rolling summary of visitors to US government websites and the operating systems their browsers report that they use.
Let's kick-off with the most bizarre observation: 15 users who accessed government sites are still using Windows 3.1! That's a 30-year-old operating system. 3,255, 5,131, and 1,088 accesses came from people who are still using Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME, respectively. Hello? The 1990s called and would like its operating systems back.''

Windows 11: Microsoft deletes these Windows 10 features and apps
Microsoft giveth, and Microsoft taketh away. A slew of once-hyped Windows 10 features, including Cortana and Timeline, are vanishing or undergoing big changes in Windows 11. The details are buried in the fine print.

Windows 11: Microsoft apologizes for compatibility confusion, hints at changes
Microsoft published a mea culpa today for its communication snafu in last week's Windows 11 launch. The company said it's pulling its flawed compatibility checker and reviewing minimum system requirements, leaving open the possibility of expanding the list of supported CPUs.
