Happy to go without the hacks for a Win 11 upgrade on the old computer. I can follow instructions, but don't want to risk issues down the track. My biggest priority is to have trouble-free computing. My main need for Win 11 is a software subscription that I realised is no longer updating correctly and it turns out that the latest version needs Win 11. I'm also aware that the current SSD is getting old so I'm starting to think and look at what I need, but not rushing in yet.
Thanks for your help.
that software subscription sounds interesting, what is it for? I can't imagine any software these days that require only Windows 11 when windows 10 is still very much current...
SSD samsung 870evos are good, and the price of them has come down a bit the last month or so
You got me thinking - which is always a good thing. A few weeks ago I googled how to do something. Friend Google gave me the answer but also showed me that my 2020 version was out of date, and somewhere in there I saw something about the new version needing Win11. I think I was a bit too ready to accept that without thinking it through. After your comment today I logged in to my account at the website and found that the 2023 version was sitting waiting for me to download as part of my subscription. I bit the bullet on topping up my data and got it all up and running. So now everything is up to date and doing what it should. I still need to keep an eye on the age of my SSD but that's far from urgent yet.
