Re: Windows 7 users can upgrade to Windows 11 but will need to perform a clean install Nelek8-Jul-21 9:14 Nelek 8-Jul-21 9:14  Will it run in windows 7 pcs? I have read several places complaining about the min. requirements in hardware... M.D.V. If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer. Re: Windows 7 users can upgrade to Windows 11 but will need to perform a clean install Kent Sharkey8-Jul-21 9:25 Kent Sharkey 8-Jul-21 9:25  Very true - Intel 8th gen and later[^], and whatever the equivalent for AMD. Plus I imagine most of the Win7 machines out there don't have a TPM 2.0 chip. I think the main upgrade path for most is a new machine.

Just keep using a machine that can't support Weleven. The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

OTOH if you're that much of a W7 diehard that you've ignored 8 and 10 are you really going to give a single about W11? Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Re: Windows 7 users can upgrade to Windows 11 but will need to perform a clean install   Forogar  9-Jul-21 2:49   Forogar   9-Jul-21 2:49  Nope! - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code. Re: Windows 7 users can upgrade to Windows 11 but will need to perform a clean install Nelek9-Jul-21 3:01 Nelek 9-Jul-21 3:01  I am not a diehard because of windows 7, I just don't like to be forced to buy new hardware while everything was working perfectly on my machine. I definitively ignored win 8 and 8.1 on purpose, because I didn't like it. I had Win10 for a while in the old PC but it annoyed me so much that I went back to 7. But although it still works well, there have been a couple of times where I didn't like some reactions while working... So I have bought new hardware. Logically win 7 can't manage it properly and I am not really willing to invest a huge amount of time trying to tweak things so that it works properly. I am running Win 10 in the new PC. I will have a fresh start, set everything up and do an image. Once Win 11 gets to SP1 I might consider checking it up, before... I don't think so. I don't need to have the newest shiny hardware or software just for the sick of it. But once I decide to buy / do something I try to get something actual and with future perspective. M.D.V.

I wish it was standard that as new expression syntax is added to C#/.NET, expressions using that new syntax are required to be supported in Expression Trees. Not that all providers should be required to implement immediately, but to make it possible for providers to support it. Currently, it's like LINQ supports an (not clearly documented) subset of C#.
