Windows 10: Any plans for an older hardware version of Win 11?

So come 2025, Windows 10 will no longer be supported and users will need to make the change to Windows 11. There's a glaringly obvious problem with this: Windows 11 doesn't support older hardware. Of course, the obvious solution to the problem is to simple acquire newer hardware. However there are myriad reason enthusiasts want to use older hardware: tinkerers, cheap HTPC, retro gamers etc. etc. All of those users will be forced over to Linux when they don't have access to a Windows offering compatible with their hardware. Or React OS... but progress on that front is laughably slow and proba

Swapping to an older version of windows

Is there still an official way to drop back to an older version of windows, I honestly don't mind using a 3rd party way. If possible, can you list step by step instructions or a link to an easy to use website. Thanks.

 

Upgrade hardware my beloved 5 year old custom made Win 10 for Win 11?

I just guessed that a 240mm cooler would fit your case. The model number or a pic of your case would help. Part List - Intel Core i7-13700K - PCPartPicker Part List - Intel Core i9-13900K - PCPartPicker

 

Power plan?

Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + S.
• Type in Power Settings.
• On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
• Select High performance.

After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.
