There's no case you can buy a legal copy of Windows on Arm unless you're an OEM and you make Arm based hardware.
Isn't WINE a resource hog, and in essence must translate almost all computations before they get processed under the OS
Yup, and X11 / Enlightenment window manager (sometimes used fvwm2 or fvwm95 to be cute) on Linux for me around the same time. Before Gnome/KDE were things.
If it has a somewhat recent Intel CPU it should work. Look for "PTT" or "Platform Trust Technology" in the BIOS (which is Intel's embedded version of the TPM).
). It also seems much more responsive. I read somewhere that Microsoft tuned the thread scheduler to make more resources available to foreground tasks, that seems to have worked.
Or just be a Windows Insider. They can watch me all day in the Parallels window.
Yes I see that option but like I said there are 5 settings in a drop down. It’s not an Enable/Disable setting. So I need to do some research whenever I have time.If it has a somewhat recent Intel CPU it should work.

I installed Win11 on a PC I built in 2018 (i7-8086K CPU) without problems (they actually made the installation media available one day early yesterday). Just enabled PTT, disabled CSM/Legacy mode, and enabled Secure Boot.
Haven't had much time to play with it yet, but I find the UI much nicer than Win10's (probably because it's more similar to MacOS
Funny that - I was on the insider program while on Windows 10 in the latest free VMware Fusion 12 Fusion Player and then updated to Windows 11 that way. It flew aka was very responsive on a late 2015 27" iMac.
Apparently it runs fine on older systems - just need to use the ISO to install it which can be annoying. Got it installed on my unsupported skylake build and everything installed fine. Windows updates work too. It's now a true frankentosh running both Windows 11 and macOS 11
You obviously haven't tried to change some Settings on a Windows computer lately. Lipstick on a pig is correct...
That's good, but I am not sure if such an installation is for less technically proficient users.
Or become a Windows insider or wait for Windows Arm to be on sale, and you can buy OEM Windows copies, I got Windows 7 that way from Amazon back in the day.
It’s just dumb that PC motherboard makers never made it the default setting when it is a recommended security feature.
Using it right now with bootcamp, runs smooth too. But yeah you have to bypass the tpm check first.
I can't do that. I'm an IT manager and need to always be licensing compliant, and the insiders build "license" is a big gray area. And you will never be able to buy an OEM copy except from an OEM, and it would be real questionable for an OEM to sell you an OEM copy that doesn't come with the hardware it runs on.
