(They had indicated that they would be able to go back to 2007, including at least some Core 2 series family processors too, but those patches were never released.)Īs far as Meltdown is concerned, as long as the latest microcode patches have been installed, it seems like it would be at least theoretically possible for Windows to run safely on any generation of Core i-series CPU, without concern about needing to make OS- or app-level software modifications. They released microcode updates to mitigate Meltdown for processors dating back to 2008.
I think if or when people give it a shot it'll be less of a big deal. I think they should've done different forks or editions of Windows, a normal Windows 8 that builds on 7, and a tablet Windows branded differently with a different UI like the 8 we got but is otherwise compatible with everything.ġ1 I like a lot, even if the justification was poor and the hoopla over the requirements. Went to far to not be scary to desktop users, and not far enough for the tablet vision to make a case for itself. I liked what they were going for, and even think 10 was a step down for tablet interface compared to it, but hoolawd what a misstep. Aside from the taskbar grouping, it's the same damn OS.Ĩ was a mess. In the end, 7 was just Vista with a new name, but by the time 7 came all the problems with Vista were sorted and the name change meant people giving it a chance. Also, OEMs releasing dogshit laptops that can barely run Vista that had it installed anyways. That was rocky, but it was a super important change in the end. Most of its problems were lazy devs not adapting fast enough to no longer being able to have full admin control by default for their apps. Vista, I feel I was the only person that liked it. ME was dogshit, XP was rocky at first with the NT transition but mostly painless(even if I personally hated the aesthetics, still do). I just get the Official Windows 11 from their site on bootable drive via RUFUS, tried upgrade without leaving something on the disc and no problem accrued while installing Windows 11. Update: I don't understand a single thing what happened, but with clean install from old system it went without any problem. I use Surface Go as Notebook for all the notes, so during semester I use it basically daily and I love it, but I just cant get over the "lifespan" thing. Windows 10 is great, but implementation of all the tablet features is way better. I know that I can just simply go for clean install, but I'm not sure how will the security updates go in the future. Trying out the Windows 11 Insider program is OK, but getting the real copy, which is actually the same as the Insider build ( from what I know, correct me, if I'm wrong) is not officially possible. The only thing that I don't have from requirements is the CPU gen, which I'm one off.
