Sounds like you are having a frustrating time at the moment with your laptop TMG1961, I feel your pain. One of the reasons I switched over to Mac was because of the continuous headaches with windows updates. I hope you manage to sort it out.
) of windows 11 on some 7gen machines but then windows updates will not work so you would running unsupported which is no good for a new OS. Seems to me they may have found too many issues with the 7gen processor and are now doing checks and not allowing installations with this processor but thats just my guess. Annoying situation, specially since you had windows 11 running but what can you do? Even if you managed to get it running now youre running a pretty new OS that is going to need security and stability patches that you cant download. Stay with Windows 10, at least for while longer I would say.
I am still keeping the option to completely switch over to apple in mind. Installing windows again is not a big deal, should know how to do that as a former IT professional.
We use to have a term when I was an IT person called "bleeding edge" , this term was used to describe computer users that had to have have the latest version of software they ran, its not a negative term, in fact quite the opposite - you want to have the latest version of security, drivers, and software version that are stable, where you dont want to be bleeding edge is when you are upgrading from one operating system to another, its actually a pretty big and sometimes risky thing to do. Let the bugs get found out and let someone else do the beta testing and then see about upgrading later, at least thats my approach.
I can only speculate on why your seeing this issue now. All the information online I see says the i3 7gen processor are not supported by windows 11, there is mention that it is possible to do a clean install ( upgrade from 10 to 11 is not possible like you were able to
I am staying on windows 10 myself, at least for another year, it has support until 2025
Had no idea you did IT, I was wondering how you were messing around with RAM chips earlier, that explains it, good stuff

Well Microsoft is not sure what it wants. I downloaded the pchealthcheck and that says my laptop does not meet the requirements for windows 11, the cpu is not supported (i3 7th gen). Always good for a laugh microsoft. I keep windows 10 on the laptop and microsoft can keep windows 11untill the laptop retires.aah good old windows, they like to mess around and keep us on our toes, that upgrade button needs are you really sure, feeling lucky? message.
