Windows 10/11 Download

The number one category of spam are the political donation solicitations.
That's a tough one given the exceptions that Congress cooked into the defintion of "unsolicited".

You might check with the national party HQ to see if there isn't some way to get off their list of pigeons.

I would be interested in knowing the applications that you believe won't work under 11.
Unless you are in the business of doing video processing with legacy video content none of my concerns would be of interest to you. I know these won't work in Windows 11 because I have already tested them in both my Windows 11 systems. All the ones I use on occasion are from companies that no longer are in business or support these programs.

I'll give you one example: A company made a near exact copy of Adobe Photoshop that was a one time purchase that does not access the adobe online account for launch authorization. It is a stand alone and runs offline. The name is different but it looks and feels like adobe Photoshop 3.0 which is fine for me. I did find a substitute that works on Win 11 called Gimp but it has a different workflow and UI so another learning curve. I can't justify the cost of adobe photoshop in retirement so this is just one rarely used tool that works in windows 10 and not in win 11. Adobe's tools are highly robust for the professional and are priced for the professional. I do pay for Premiere Pro as it does everything I need and use often.

Make sure you're set to "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available". Being a "feature update" rather than a security update, having that slider set to off will cause your machine to ignore the update for a week.

I'm not sure when this happened, but I think this flag was set to "off" as part of an earlier update. Unless you have a specific need for immediate feature updates, it is arguably best that you let others discover anything that may be dangerous about the updates.

It's always been set to on.

I'm using Win10 perhaps this is the reason "2024-08 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 Builds: 22621.4112 and 22631.4112 for x64-based systems (KB5041587) has been released"

What is stopping you from upgrading to Windows 11? I mean, I use Linux so it doesn’t really matter to me that much, but I do have a laptop with Windows 11 on it, fully updated to 24 H2, which is probably beta or RC version since I’m in the early preview group and it’s pretty nice.

Nothing -If it's not broken no need to replace it at the whim of MS
