Install Linux, be done with anything from Microsoft
Yeah tell that to my company please.
Give him some contact info and he probably will :)
I do! :)
Yup, that did the trick for me. I actually tried to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10, and it refused to saying my HW wasn't good enough (1st gen Ryzen), I boot into my Linux partition and the problem goes away, no nags to install Windows 11, and I still get to play all the same games I did on Windows 10.
Seems to be a pretty permanent solution so far. ;)
Yay! Happy for you, another person who got the right idea.
