Hi all.
Yet another silly issue with win11.
Microsoft will run bitlocker on the main drive unsure what it will do with pro but at least in home and just about everything else the system will run bitlocker and then your system is secure.
Looks ok but along with everyone needing a ms account pritty much you kill that your main drive is trashed.
I have had a main box fail and yeah keep backups of everything.
If you can have a second drive in your box.
I have had a new system I setup which I never checked when I switched but they do have backups.
Still it is a problem.
I mean if stuff keeps doing silly things thats another setting I need to toggle off.
Really its an ongoing list of stuff I need to toggle off.
Solution is once you set windows, make sure you turn disk incryption off and restore your files before you put anything on it.
Another thing is the so called dedicated copilot key.
After all the sillyness with recall I have gone off the idea of any ms ai.
I would recommend all users get or upgrade to windows pro just to get the policy editor so you can easilly turn stuff off.
Windows 24h2 is now on stable deployment and is stable enough to go out the door.
Somehow I don’t believe this but who knows.
The way ms has gone over windows11 has made a lot of users concerned.
The likelyhood I will get another system at this stage for windows11 is unknown.
I certainly am undecided if I will upgrade the main box with a 10th gen cpu to windows 11.
It does use an ms account with pin but even so I am undecided.
I suspect the big push will be when windows 10 dropps support as this box does use office 365.
365 will also drop support so I may have no option but to upgrade.
For now I have a week before my major skin and plumbing work goes and so I won’t be able to touch anything till near the end of the year.
As it is though its touch near the end just before christmas or don’t touch till next winter so who knows.
I just wish microsoft wouldn’t do this silly junk is all.
Note you can run rufus and make a disk without encryption.
