is anyone on older CPU's still getting win 11 updates?
 

MS ended win 10 support on OCT 14'th.

Win 11 is not officially supported for older CPU's. You have to manually install it but even than MS may halt security updates to you at any time..

I've still been getting auto updates, but I haven't seen a new in a little while.

How do you survive using an 8 year old CPU ?

Every 3-4 years since Windows 3.1

I used to always update my entire pc every 5 years but when I got the i5 6600k.. it was still going strong after 5 years.. so I didn't bother updating... it still does everything I need really. It's definitely time to upgrade soon though..

I still have a win7 laptop that gets updates without issues.

If you are forever working like I am, you deserve to upgrade your setup every few years. Besides being able to take advantage of the latest operating systems which also have the latest security updates etc, you enjoy more speed, more flexibility, etc.

My current work machine is an M4 Mac Mini with 24GB of Ram. I chose this one because I love Apple products, but also because I can run OS/X and Linux and Windows 11 all at the same time, in the same or different windows or screens. It lets me work really efficiently.

I don't have an answer for you but.... I upgrade every few years.

I just bought a new Microsoft Surface Pro and I use it for everything - tablet, laptop, and PC when hooked up to a docking station and monitor.

For my main PC I use a refurbished Alienware. I buy an used Alienware PC, strip it down, new hard drives, new CPU.....

you should install omarchy.

I got the 'extended' updates' offer for free... So Im good for another year - No need to update atm - It does EVERYTHING I need it too...

Are we talking computers or toilets.....just curious

this makes no sense. why don't you just buy all the parts and build a new pc instead of modifying an old one

I remember when you got your new pc. now its time to upgrade :1orglaugh
