If this is actually for work where you get paid money you’d probably be better off financing a new computer and doubling your output. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago i did mean 11, My pc is plenty powerful it just doesn't happen to include a tpm chip. i have no issues with power. it handles 4k 120p 10 bit timelines fine. upgrading right now in this market would be asinine if software wasn't pushing me into 11. permalink fedilink source parent [–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 point 6 months ago* (1 child) There are plenty of very powerful machines that can't run win11 because they don't have TPM2.0. It has nothing to do with their specs being unable to run the OS.

Intel and Ryzen 2000/3000 series CPUs. 7th Gen. and older machines are pretty dire by modern standards unless you had a top of the line i7, or an HEDT equivalent (did they still make those then?). 1st Gen. Ryzen suuucks for single core performance, but for video editing it’s probably ok. But you’d have to pick your codecs carefully. Even modern CPUs chug with certain codecs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) That doesn't make any sense, though. Firefox still supports Windows 10. It's just support for 7 and 8 that's ending. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 point 6 months ago* I don't think they were talking about firefox. I think they were just complaining in general. The bit about needing to buy new equipment is what gives it away that they're talking about not having TPM2.0. Edit: Just saw that they confirmed my guess under a different response to me. permalink fedilink source parent
