Until it marks you as unlicensed because you used a new motherboard.

Still runs, albeit with a your are bad symbol...

[-] tobimai@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Which is easy to solve

Well, more like 7 onwards. XP was quite hit and miss unless you did a load of prep first.

It must have stopped with Win11. Tried to upgrade one of my family members Laptop. Took the ssd from the old one, put it in the new Laptop and only got to the Windows rescue Window. With Linux. I can setup an ssd with my laptop and when setup, plug it into my headless server and everything works fine.

TPM is integrated on the motherboard of the old computer so that would never work without foregoing the extra safety.

Yup. though for GPU drivers you'll need to cleanly reinstall them if you downloaded them separately from windows update (which is a requirement for most gaming GPU users)

At least on linux its [insert distro command here] and it'll have your new drivers up and running for you without bloatware

True, GPU drivers are a mess

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
