Windows 11 will soon no longer boot on PCs that are too old to boot it anyway
-
The next version of Windows 11 will no longer boot on CPUs without the "POPCNT" instruction.
Time to upgrade from that 386 then

I guess that'll be the end of the line for my 18 year old Core 1 Duo laptop. It shipped with Vista and I upgraded it to W7 and then W10 to serve as an emergency loaner for family members. It was ideal for this use because I didn't care if anything happened to it. I was planning to wleven it in a year and a half just because; but I guess that won't be happening now. :sigh: Actually I should see if it still turns on, it's probably been at least 2 years. :laugh:
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

Because a computer with an unpatched windows install shouldn't be allowed within 50 feet of an internet connection.

I see the point. But with the increasing number of Zero-Days vulnerabilities... I know there is a difference, but is it such a big difference?
