Windows 11 - Page 12

Just been playing with Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11 again as they updated it to Android 12. Sideloaded a couple of apks and it worked an absolute treat

People on unsupported hardware are currently being offered Windows 11, probably one big screw up, but I'm hoping MS are rethinking the hardware requirements.

I am currently running with secure boot and trusted computing off due to a bios crash caused by fan software of all things and me not bothering to turn it all about on again and the systems works with no hassles

Apparently it's a bug and anyone that upgraded to Windows 11 on an unsupported device via this error have 7 days to roll back, after that they will have to reinstall Windows 10.

I dunno, You can install it on any hardware as long as it has TPM 1.2. My old i5 ex windows 8 took it no problems. I would not flight as a main OS either tbh

In theory the same edits to the iso should work as well and those updated could get away with just editing the registry

But are those edits and workarounds going to work in the future?
Older MBs can have connections for TPM modules, which can be bought separately. My old 4th gen(2013 and still works) Intel MB has the connections. I built a new PC for W11 and that 12th Gen Intel MB also has TPM module connections.

Who knows if it will be updateable for the lifespan of Windows 11 as I said my system is running off Windows 11 that was installed with it all on and now running with it all off with no edits

I know all about the TPM header

If you download the Windows 11 ISO you can use a free program called Rufus (which lets you create a bootable Windows 11 USB Stick). You are given the option to choose No TPM / No SecureBoot

That is what I used on my Laptop.

Another article on that site caught my eye;

A plan to make SSDs a requirement for your boot drive.

Although it is wrong to enforce that rule the difference is massive and everyone should really be using them as boot

Really enjoying Windows Subsystem for Android. Sideloaded TVMob along side Adguard APKs so you can run Adguard on the subsystem and it kills all the android apps adverts which is awesome as they can be a nightmare

Also been playing with Docker on Windows Subsystem for Linux another really good feature

Shame Apple being how they are will never allow there to be a Windows Subsystem for iMac

For the very few interested 22H2 appears to have enabled Windows Subsystem for Android in the UK. To install simply make sure PC is up to date and simply install the Amazon Appstore from the Microsoft Store and it should do the rest for you, including all the Virtual stuff if needed.

You can sideload any APK with this but if you want PlayStore you will need to install a modded version of WSA. They are up to Android 12 now iirc. I run the modded version
