The only reason I upgraded from XP to Win 10 was because Turbo Tax needed it. I don't even know why TT would need anything special in Win

1. Makes me think that some of the companies get together just to force upgrades. From what I am hearing many of the old computers will not even run Win 11. Forcing people to buy new computers.

The only thing I run from MS is the Office progrm. Mainly for the spread sheet and Outlook just because i am familiar with those and do not want to learn a new program for simple stuff.

Compiler updates are part of it, I expect.

Or do what we did, and flush Windows altogether. I haven't used a windows box in years.

LibreOffice compatibility has gotten very good, as long as you have the right fonts installed. (Otherwise you get pagination funnies.)

Yesterday I was in the virtual windows 11 again and trying to optimize performance a bit.

I discovered these performance settings and turned everything off, like font smoothing and shadows under fonts... that can't of thing.

Related to themes/visuals, I think I found it via right click start button, and then settings, or systems, and advanced settings and then peformance settings or something.

After clicking "optimize for performane".. everything was turned off and I NOTICED:

The TEXT/FONTS became much SHARPER/CRISPIER so this may HELP to avoid shaddyness and vagueness/anti-aliased look.

Thought it was worth mentioning it here.

I am considering installing Windows 11 to a USB drive, even though USB port 2.0 is slow and would make windows loading slow at least the CPU should run it faster because it's not in VMWare anymore...

However this laptop most likely does not have TPM 2.0 or any TPM ? very maybe TPM 1.0.

So then I would need a work around for TPM issue...

Not sure what I would run into...

Installing Windows 11 on machine without TPM ? Sounds hard, then again maybe not... I have seen some regedit work arounds.

I was not too impressed with Delphi 10.4 when it comes to GIT...

Akward usage, have to use pop-up menu and then click git and then click commit.

Hmmm two little commands done automatic... mhoaw.. maybe not worth the trouble ! =D

But then at least I would have a good working Delphi IDE and maybe I can test windows 11 so more... not sure if I want too.

Another thing on my mind is the broken 3D chip... not sure if the installation of windows 11 will work with a broken 3D chip.

That would be an interesting TEST though.

But that reminds me... first I wanted to try and see if there is a special graphics driver for this build in INTEL GPU into the CPU...

Maybe that will give back some 3D possibilities like running 3D games again or at least get some visuals instead of just black screen in some games.

Bye for now, Skybuck.

Do not read Dutch. Waza it mean?

TT should work on Win7; with all of the problems JUST getting Win10 even slightly useful aint worth the fuss (took me weeks). Win11???????? Someone stuttered.

Turbotax says it will not work on Win7 now. I did not have a Win 7 or 8 computer, but bought a win 7 used off ebay and used the free win 10 update just to run TT when they quit with win XP. I only ran win 7 just long enough to get it on the internet and down win 10. Never ran win 8 so can not say good or bad about those 2.

From the TT web pages

There is NO "later" on Win 7 SP1.
