#Best music production software for windows 8 how to#
They seem to enjoy having people learn how to do something, then change it all. There is a fellow locally who refurbishes computers and has installed 11 on them. It takes some fiddling with the registry. It is possible to install Win11 on older processors as long as they have TPM 1.2, however.

A few motherboards had TPM2 modules on a chip, but that wasn't widely done. Win 11 wants TPM 2.0 which was implemented into Intel Processors starting with Gen 8 and AMD with Zen2 processors. That's windows for you.Ĭlick to expand.The big issue with Win 11 not supporting older computers has to do with the Trusted Platform Module which is a hardware security system. I now have two windows 10 machines next to each other and their menus and features are a bit different. It upgraded and carried on working as before. windows asked if I wanted a free upgrade to 10, and I said yes. The most annoying thing is where advice is always to use the latest drivers, you get to a stage when an ancient, in computer terms, OS stops you installing things you'd rather like. With a bot of protection against silly stuff, and common sense, downloading and connection's not an issue for me. I have never subscribed to the keep it off the net approach simply because virtually everything I have now - Steinberg, Spitfire, Adobe etc, requires the net, all the time. Often, just a stop to annoying banner reminders X isn't supported any more or Z won't work next week. If you swap OS on any computer, you rarely get a "wow - that's better' moment. At some point, one or two things you use regularly will require Windows 10 for an update. If it works - there seems little point changing.
