So windows 11 update tanked my system…

You could run Windows anyversion in a VM on top of a Linux host. VirtualBox is free VM software, and you can put it on a windows host, wich is how I'm using it ATM for trying to get back into dev work.

Its from ORACLE so, umm forget that Oak Ridge post of mine.

ETA: I once put Android in a VM on a laptop I had at the time. I'm poking the screen and wondering why no work?. Laptop not touch screen. Thas epic level idiot.

It’s gaming rig only for playing pc games. Basically a too expensive Xbox. This would not be reasonable fix.

I could run Linux, which I would prefer, but not all steam games are going to run well.  Not yet. I have hopes for future.

ty though.


update. So windows kept erroring out all night on updating. So I went to direct install of windows 11.

windows 11 installed.

troubleshooted remaining problem to Bluetooth.  - constant beep, Bluetooth not working, device manager refreshing in time with beep.  Tried all my usb and they were fine so disabled Bluetooth from driver… not uninstall - that didn’t fix it. I DISABLED it and Hallelujah no more beeping/refreshing!

I can’t use my Bluetooth keyboard but everything else seems to be working and installed correctly now.  

downloading my games now.


I have detested windows since 3.1 days.  Was mildly happy with 7. Was very happy with 11 (looks like Linux) until forced update destroyed my gaming rig. Now I am extremely pissed.

thinking about putting Linux on it. I like playing with Linux.

I’m musician and use Mac for everything else. I never have any problems.  Things just work. Worst problem is my devices get to old to run newer os.  But they are still working. I have laptop from 91. Mac Pro cheesgreater from 2001. Laptop from 2004, MacBook Air I forget year, m1 laptop 2020, Mac studio from 2022, multiple iPads and iPhones of all ages.. . They just keep working until physically destroyed.  

it is so night and day different.

shame on Microsoft.
