Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time

Microsoft: Our computer.

How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don't have a TPM?

I'd love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn't have a useless bit of hardware I can't. Fuck em.

The nagging to pay for the OneDrive subscription is something I would only see on trashy websites full of ads. I guess that’s what Windows has become.

Stuff like this is why I disabled the TPM on my computer. No TPM means that you're "not eligible" for 11, meaning I don't get nagged by the random full screen pop-ups.

I am very glad I moved to Linux full time

Not as bad as a recent security patch which unexpectedly upgraded Windows Server 2022 to 2025 causing at least a few outages I know about for our clients.

as per usual, Microsoft remains the biggest advertiser to Linux

M$oft: "Your hardware, my computer"

And when you try to install, they'll say "no you can't, get a new computer"

Microsoft is really in to the Year of Linux Desktop thing

Can't be nagged about Windows 11 if you never switched to SecureBoot.

If they keep this up when are they going to offer to buy me a new PC for the new OS?

Is there anyway to permanently stop windows from updating? I tried few methods off YT but updates do not stop.

(No, don't recommend me Linux. I have tried it(Mint and Manjaro) and it is way out of my skillset)

Anyone know where I can buy a gaming PC with linux preinstalled instead of windows?

Finally, the year of the Linux desktop

Bro istg if I reboot my windows separate ssd and it's windows 11 am fully gonna use Linux

Didn't they do that since win7?

I'm going to upgrade to Ubuntu

I actually had a nightmare last night that my computer updated itself to some horrid version of windows and I spent it all frantically looking for my windows 7 ISO and keygen among old backups to blow it away and start again.

We'll see. I've set the Group policy to limit feature updates to Win 10 22H2. I will be unhappy if they over-ride or reset a GPO.

its bad enough i have to constantly kill the oobe crap every few minutes. glad i dont have that to pile on

Until the AI stuff I would have loved to get an upgrade. Now... Not so much. And good thing my computer doesn't qualify due to their arbitrary standards.

Took me a second to realize she wasn't incarcerated.

Glad I switched to fedora
