MESSAGE SUR PC POUR PASSER À WINDOWS 11

Hello,

I regularly receive a message prompting me to upgrade to Windows 11. And I respond "remind me later."

However, my PC is not compatible with Windows 11 (I tested it when the system offered to check compatibility with Windows 11).

I assume the moment will come when my Windows 10 will no longer be supported: is it normal to deprive a customer of their product even if it's obsolete?

Buying a new PC for this reason is an encouragement to consume: that doesn't align with my way of being manipulated!

How can I stop this message on my PC which appears once a week?

Thank you for your help

    Hello,

    To be more detailed about the non-compatibility with Windows 11, please run WhyNotWin11.exe under Assets

    https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases

    If you have the option, with some changes, upgrade to Windows 11

    Or if you really must definitely* skip the upgrade to Windows 11, use this .reg file

    Save it as .txt using Notepad: Save As > Type: All Files

    Then with a .reg extension instead of .txt at the end of the file name

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows\Update]
    "AllowOSUpgrade"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
    "DisableOSUpgrade"=dword:00000001


    Just run it and accept the changes

    *There are methods to force Windows 11 to install on incompatible hardware.

      Hello,

      We can't ask manufacturers to predict the future just as we can't keep using our old clunker because it only runs on leaded fuel.

      There's nothing to say that Windows 10 "will no longer respond," only that it will no longer receive security updates after October, but there are still people using Windows 7; the potential problem only arises many years later when a certain number of software considered necessary is no longer compatible, but that brings us back to the previous comment, we can't talk about consumerism for a machine that will then willingly have reached 20 years if it has survived.

      I haven't checked if that's what fabul meant, but we can also stop this notification while still using Windows 10.

        Thank you for your information.

        But how can I block this notification?

        With my thanks for your response.

        Hello,

        See in <4>, blocking the update also blocks its notification.

    Hello

    Windows 10 would no longer receive updates.

    But it still regularly gets feature updates without warning, even Windows 10 Home.

    Blocking all updates would prevent us from benefiting from them, but it probably wouldn't stop Windows from displaying messages one way or another.

    So we can't really consider anything certain in the announcements.

    We shouldn't actually be able to prevent these announcements to upgrade to Windows 11, which are essentially ads, even if we can't install it because it crashes; some have already had Windows 11 "by mistake".

    It's less frequent now at my place, after responding in 3 days, once every 2 months at least. As long as we can, we’re not obligated if we want to keep 10.

    Every now and then there's a little something missing; in reality, we've never had the "right" to it; we've always been "lent" the use of the software that could one day stop working, even if we’re not necessarily forced to remove it.

    Hello

    This isn't exactly the same notification anymore, I don’t miss an opportunity to be told that Windows 11 is also available and that I'm taking risks by not choosing the best, without being forced to install it right away.

    Fabul suggests checking again if Windows 11 could still be installed, as some PCs couldn't at first when they checked with Windows, but then Windows gave some PCs another chance since.

    And by checking with whynotwin11, it's not the same tool, we can modify the registry; and also push a bit and still install Win11: that can also be kept in mind.
