Hello Windows 11, They finally got me!
Well they finally got me after around six months of avoiding the ICT department via working in different locations, not spending much time in corporate buildings and just being generally elusive. About too weeks ago they got me with the 'we are removing you from the network ploy' so now I am a Windows 11 user.
As said it's been around two weeks and I have had to update and reboot five times now, when is it going to stop!
As a bonus the very expensive hardware I use isn't compatible with Windows 11, the response from the vendor is upgrade your hardware. They could just upgrade their drivers but no, it is far more profitable to upgrade the hardware.
I remember many moons ago the same thing happened when we moved from XP to Windows 7, I feel like I'm in the wrong business sometimes.
At least I can come home to my Devuan machine and experience a little bit of freedom and a glass of vino!
Happy Windows 11 all!

Not saying anyone should do this or want to do this, but some people have figured out how to get windows 11 running on unsupported hardware.
Your mile may of course vary as to what will happen if you do this though.
Does your computer have two HDDs/SSDs?
If so one can have that windows crap and the other Devuan.
Dual booting might not work so well due to windows not playing nice as some say.

The Windows 11 machine is a work laptop not my own, previously running Windows 10. I work in Government so these machines are security managed, they won't be running anything other than what's provided.
At home, I don't run Windows 11 or any Windows version apart from Win 98 in a VM. All my hardware runs Linux.
