My main pc, built Dec 2019, is Win 11 Eligible. I had to find the Intel security PTT stuff in BIOS in order to achieve that status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main PC – Built Dec-2019 (18 mo. old, not 2 years.) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another computer in our home that I built is also eligible after jumping through some hoops. Both have 8th generation processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My 2-in-1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anything else is older, like my little laptop. I got it July 2016. It’s the best little laptop I’ve ever had for the most part. Yes, it’s a 2-in-1, Acer SwitchAlpha12 i5-6200u processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t do anything on it but basics (browsing, writing, photo editing, etc. Media consumption) and very casual games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Not eligible because of the processor. Sigh. I’ll be doing the Beta Channel with Windows Insider on my Acer SwitchAlpha12 … will be trying to make a good run of it when it’s available (Monday? June 28-ish?)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other PC’s maybe Mint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even older devices exist on Windows 10 here. They are further out from the hard cutoff of processors. I haven’t PC Health app checked them. I will eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One device we have is an ALL-IN-ONE HP from an originally Win 7 era, 3-touchpoints. Ouch, not great for Win 10. I am going to set that up somewhere with Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am toying with the idea of putting Linux Mint on more than that PC. I don’t want to have to on my sweet Acer SwitchAlpha12, but once I work with it being on that All-In-One, I may change my tune (I’ve had it on another old laptop before, but don’t have it running on anything right now.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to dual-boot with Fedora in the old days. FWIW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really liked it best when I could turn on my PC and boot into Windows normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or with PC off, plug in an external harddrive and boot from that easily instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So one thing is I do like being able to remote connect to my big PC inside my own house sometimes, so …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No I don’t want other software for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do like portable Linux things if, you can set-it-up well (not a LIVE version, an installed version.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
