  1. Microsoft deciding to do a hard-drop in supporting CPUs prior to 2008 (so they could use the POPCNT and string comparison instructions) isn't too bad.
    The problem is with their STRATOSPHERIC minimum requirements for Windows 11!
    They should have done something similar to all previous Windows versions: Minimum requirements that would JUST ABOUT run Windows, which in this case would be a CPU from 2008 or later that includes POPCNT and SSE4.2!

  2. SSE4.2 (added in 2008) includes instructions to accelerate string comparisons.
    Microsoft decided that the performance gain was worth excluding CPUs prior to 2008.

    *Additional: SSE4.2 also has the CRC32 instruction to accelerate those calculations, but ONLY for the iSCSI polynomial!
    Intel should have either:
    used 2 instructions: CRC32 (ZIP) & CRC32C (iSCSI) if using a hard-coded polynomial is faster
    or
    allowed the polynomial to be passed in a register if there is no loss in performance

  3. The POPCNT instruction was added to the x86 instruction set in 2008 with AMD K10 (Barcelona) and Intel (Nehalem).
    it returns the number of set bits in the operand: eg. the binary for 42 is 00101010, the POPCNT instruction will return 3.
    To perform this operation without using POPCNT can take many instructions, especially when using 64 bit operands.
    Microsoft decided that the performance gain was worth excluding CPUs prior to 2008.

  4. Sadly Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021's life expectance has been cut in half. It's now only supported till January 12 2027. If you still require Windows 10 you'll need Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 mainstream support ends Jan 12, 2027. Extended support ends Jan 13, 2032.

  5. Each contact with Win 11 was dreadful !
    Advertisements everywhere; forced identification (to sell your behavior) and paternalism…

    So why exactly should I be interested?

  6. Yes did this yesterday Brian on my old Asus 17" G750 a machine that was always great to use and too good to throw away. Now one thing I found that in the Rufus settings, I had to make it MBR and not GPT as the laptop would no accept the install because of the GPT setting. Now one thing I did was to change that 24H2 to 23H2 when I got to the Rufus settings when selecting the iso and it worked perfectly. I actually bought a key from CD Sales but found that because the drive I was using was an old 10 pro one it activated on it's install so I have a spare key👍👍 The only drawback was the old drive had a Microsoft account attached but never mind it worked and I also got the old data from the Windows.old install come across!!

  7. My work laptop is an i5 7th gen Windows 10 LTNC 21H2 i keep getting the erge to update it to Windows 11 when it still has life and it is my work support laptop should I join a Windows support groupe thank for everything you do just wish you did CCTV and network troubleshooting vids .

  8. Is it worth? your job is great. I liked the video, but I really wonder if it is worth because ultimately, MS can keep blocking future upgrades… My old system is already in LMDE and a new for me on W11…

  9. This is the 2nd way to get around Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements you have posted in a week. Why other than trying to force people to buy a new computer does Microsoft keep the requirements in place. I did two old computers with the other method, and they are running fine, so the requirements for Windows 11 are obviously BS.
