Microsoft Windows / Re: Windows 11

Last post by Shadow.97 - April 07, 2023, 12:17 AM

What would be the best way to do that WITHOUT having to format a do a clean install? Is it possible to simply install 11 over 10?

I upgraded my system from 10 to 11 without issues.
Installed a tpm module and then just let windows update thingy do its thingy.

As always do backup.


When it comes to HDR, I realised that I prefer SDR in most cases. I dont want my screens overly bright. There isn't much HDR content anyway.
When it goes between hdr/non hdr I've also noticed the screen likes "turning off and on" again


It also posed as a major issue for me when using my HTC vive(vr) and using steam to view the desktop. It made everything look washed out but look fine on the real monitor.

Using:
lg 27 inch ultragear 27gp850 qhd nano ips 180hz

I'm already considering a new monitor, will probably aim for 27 inch oled with high refreshrate and 4k.

I'm also in the market for a TV. Never really used or owned one, so it feels.. weird. Mostly as I have bad far-sight and dont use glasses indoors.

Ps. Got a new job, starting 17th as a network technician for an ISP.

I just treated myself to a nice 32" Samsung Odyssey Neo monitor. My video card is an Nvidia RTX-3060. Despite the fact that both support HDR, you can't enable Windows HDR because it looks all washed out. I checked this out and if you want to to to full auto-HDR, the only choice is to bite the bullet and upgrade to Windows 11. I was playing around with the new Diablo IV beta release. The game fully supports HDR, but it appears I can't take full advantage of that without Win11.

Vasudev: you're the expert on these matters. What do you suggest?

Note that new versions of windows 10 & 11 will be available next week. I'm planning to add new drivers to the windows 11 iso and customize a bit more.

Tonight, another movie, titled Delusions of grandeur, is available on the forum.


Story: Power-hungry tax collector Don Salluste de Bazan (Louis De Funès) is banished from the Spanish Court and decides to use his valet, Blaze (Yves Montand), to take his revenge. In disguise, Blaze fills Don Salluste's vacant position and plans to have an affair with the queen (Karin Schubert), which the vengeful ex-collector will then reveal to the king (Alberto de Mendoza). Instead, Blaze and the queen fall in love, and the valet uses his newfound power to help end mistreatment of the poor.

In French with English subtitles.

For the anecdote, Karin Schubert, the queen in the movie, came out of nowhere and sailed high into an international career opposite Richard Burton, Yves Montand and another tragic blonde star, Dalida. She gave fine performances in everything. After these successes, Schubert shocked audiences when she abruptly moved into hardcore sex films in 1985 before vanishing from the public eye without a trace a decade later. What the public didn't know was that Karin Schubert's segue into hardcore wasn't a capricious choice on her part. Her son, who was desperately addicted to drugs, had become so out of control that his mother became the target of his violent outbursts. Schubert left her career behind and fled to Spain initially before agreeing to pose for the hardcore pictorials to earn the money needed to get her son treatment. In 1994 she was placed under the care of a psychiatric hospital.

The Führer's Final Downfall: Hitler's Bad Decisions and the Consequences of World War II

That the Führer was a drug addict is known to history. Dr Theodor Morrell injected him with a cocktail of mostly amphetamines sometimes several times a day. It got to a point where he actually believed his own propaganda, i.e., that the Germans were an invincible race of supermen and he had been chosen to be their leader. Goebbels used to say that any lie, no matter how ridiculous, would be believed if repeated incessantly. He was right.

And speaking of Goebbels and his vehemently Nazi wife Magda, everybody criticises them for "murdering their children". What people forget is that if those young girls fell into the hands of the Russians, they would have been raped repeatedly and probably undergone other hellish torture. Magda spared them from that fate.

Instead of installing it, you can test it with Vwmare too. Of course, I don't install a clean copy unless I need to do it (and I use switchless installers to avoid the boring part of the installation of windows).

There is no question the ISO's will work under any VM. What I'm trying to do is install it over the current versions of Windows 10 and 11. It's then when I get the error message.

Are your copies of Win10 and Win11 pre-activated or unactivated ISO's from Micro$haft? For Win10 I used a strange activator I found on the torrents, and Win11 was pre-activated.

The problem with a clean install is having to spend days reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. Don't you hate that?

I've had no problem trying to install it over my current version. So I won't be able to tell you where this error message comes from.
Instead of attempting an installation over the existing version (which is useless since it seem you visibly have windows 11 already, I recommend formatting in order to achieve a clean installation.
