I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a “Skip”/“Don’t remind me again”. Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I’d expect not to be bothered again. It’s really a built in ad more then anything.

    I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn’t compatible.

    Really? AFAIK the only thing special it requires that a normal OS doesn’t is virtualization, and any reasonably-modern x86 CPU should support that just fine. What does your hardware lack?

      Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

      AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 3.80 GHz 16.0 GB DDR5 @ 5600 With the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU

      I ensured bios were setup, attempted to install and it didn’t even show an error when selecting to install or live test and install. The device just restarted and nothing.

      I’m actually going to give it another try, I made a fresh USB for it, it’s worth a fair attempt. I know the GPU is gonna probably be unusable, but I was looking at Qubes for 80% of my tasks.
