It's possible to get Win 11 installed on an older machine. I installed Win 11 on an 8 year old laptop.

Do a search for installing 11 on a machine that bypasses the hardware check.

Wanting windoze 11 (or 10 for that matter) on your machine is like saying "please, I love a dick up my ass".

I don't like windows either but sometimes I have to use it for some software to work.

Which is why I dual boot Windows and Linux. I use Linux 90% of the time.

I need Linux to get free software to work.

Have you tried using Wine to run Windows programs on Linux?

Yes, and I also do virtual machines. Sometimes one works better than the other depending on what it is. Also, workplaces that force you to use windoze suck. They're a big reason why micro$oft is the giant POS overlord they are today.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have read about the reg hack that will allow this but I'm not really interested in continuing with Microsoft.

I would like to move everything for my business to Linux based. If I can solve my network issues (TBH I haven't really given it a hard try) the only other problem is the photo printer which I could probably do a work around if I put some though into it. (Even if I have to run a Virtual Desktop running windows though Linux, this printer is only needed occasionally for promotional material.)

I moved away from MS Office about 8 years ago to LibreOffice and have never regretted it. the learning curve was minimal and I expect the same will happen with a Linux based system.
