Oh fucking great. My daughter's online school requires her to run "Windows 8 or greater," but we got her a used laptop that can run 10 to make sure it can keep up with security updates. I don't even know if it is powerful enough to run 11 because I didn't even consider the possibility when I bought it. Now we're going to have to buy a new one in a couple of years?
Fuck you Pierson and Microsoft.
Pirate Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC for support until 2027
Thanks, I'll look into that. I appreciate it!
You can use massgrave to activate it, microsoft support has been caught using it to activate windows on customers computers.
massgeave activation is new to me.
is that paid?
It's free!
Do they actually require it or do they "require" it.
A lot of things that are browser based "require" Windows or Mac but don't actually require it.
I don't particularly care to risk my daughter's education by trying to figure that out.
Get a live-USB and check it. Maybe you get a surprise.
lmao

Oh christ...
If I could afford a lawyer, I wouldn't be concerned about having to buy a new notebook for her.
Most laptops that ship with windows 10 are capable of running 11. I recommend finding out if the schools provides a license. When I was attending Phoenix online a couple years ago they supplied me with a windows 10 education license through Microsoft.
It does not unfortunately.
