Microsoft’s Windows 11 is still free for qualifying Windows 10 PCs, but the company’s strict hardware checks have left a large installed base officially “incompatible.” For many users the answer isn’t necessarily “buy new hardware” — there are well‑documented, practical ways to move to Windows...
If your Windows 10 PC is being labeled “incompatible,” you don’t have to toss it or pay for Extended Security Updates immediately — there are proven, no‑cost ways to move that machine to Windows 11, and two practical methods account for most real‑world scenarios: a short registry workaround for...
Microsoft has quietly moved the goalposts: Windows 10 has reached end of support, and a heavily discounted bundle that pairs a Windows 11 Pro upgrade with a perpetual Microsoft Office Professional 2021 license is being promoted as an urgent, one‑time fix for users still on the old platform...
Microsoft’s deadline drama for Windows 10 users has just entered a new, urgent phase: the free consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) enrollment and the first post‑retirement Patch Tuesday together create a narrow window where machines that haven’t moved to Windows 11 or enrolled in ESU could...
EaseUS’ Disk Copy 6.9.0 introduces a single‑wizard “Migrate to Win11” workflow that promises to clone a system drive to a new disk and upgrade that clone to Windows 11 in one automated sequence — including built‑in logic to bypass common Windows 11 hardware checks such as TPM and Secure Boot...
Microsoft's timing could not have been worse: as Windows 10 reached its end-of-support horizon, the company's most familiar consumer upgrade utility — the Media Creation Tool — began failing for many Windows 10 users, closing silently without error and leaving upgrade and recovery workflows...
FlyOOBE’s latest update makes a controversial trade-off: version 1.41 introduces an explicit, user‑actioned way to bypass the CPU compatibility check that previously blocked many upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11 — simply remove a helper file (CpuCheckNative.dll) from the app folder and the...
Microsoft’s decision to stop routine security updates for Windows 10 has immediately become a lucrative hook for scammers, and consumers need clear, practical defences now — not tomorrow — to avoid losing data, money, or access to their machines. The headline fact is simple: Windows 10 reached...
Microsoft’s latest repositioning — accepting higher near‑term capital spending to secure AI capacity while insisting margins will remain intact — is a deliberate trade that reshapes the company’s risk/reward profile for enterprises, investors, and Windows‑centric IT teams alike. The Seeking...

Do you have any experience in installing Windows 11 25H2 which provided by Tiny?
Is there any problem found in this version of Windows 11?
What is the concern of installing this version of Windows 11 on existing Windows 10 desktop or laptop?
Microsoft has issued a blunt reminder: if your PC is still running Windows 11, version 23H2 (Home or Pro), the monthly security and preview updates that keep it protected will stop on November 11, 2025, and you should plan to move to 24H2 or 25H2 before that date to avoid an exposure gap...
Microsoft’s official tools for moving millions of PCs off Windows 10 and onto Windows 11 stumbled at the worst possible time: an updated Windows 11 Media Creation Tool released in late September can close immediately or fail to run on certain Windows 10 hosts, leaving users scrambling for...
