I was being ironic, I am not aware of any such device

I only use hardwired Ethernet for my light switches

They conquored the entirety of France in a month and a half shortly after “peace in our time”

Are you quoting Neville Chamberlain?

I literally work for a government agency lol what you’re saying is nonsense. If they worked the way you’re describing the compliance guys heads would explode and federal agencies would be brought in to oversee upgrades for the next decade

I learned to read an analog clock in elementary school. If schools aren’t teaching it anymore idk why they’re shocked that kids don’t know how.

You poor thing

The hypervisor doesn’t necessarily present the guest the exact CPU you’re running. Maybe it was presenting an older model, or something stripped down that didn’t have the features win 11 was looking for. It’s moot.now that you found a solution but I believe this is what happened and moving the disks to a new VM probably would have worked.

You get into any big organization and legacy becomes a larger and larger part of the way things are kept running. Hell just for shits and giggles look at the back end of blood banks, government, airports and non blood banks back end infrastructure. I would be shocked if anything was running on less then a decade old software.

Maybe on the backend or specialized single purpose appliances. Running decade old OS’s on workstations is negligence boardering on malpractice.

It sounds like your VM config was presenting a COU or TPM config that the upgrade wasn’t comfortable with. If your new machine presented acceptable configs to a brand new VM, then making a new VM and feeding it the old .vhdx would be the same as pulling a storage device and putting it in a new motherboard that was win 11 compliant. After a reboot to install new drivers it probably would have upgraded happily.

It’s dogshit after windows 7

Lol

Not only were there several dogshit windows versions before 7, 8 was an upgrade in almost every way other than “omg start menu big now” culture shock. The new task manager alone was worth having a slightly bigger start menu.

25H2 is a feature update. 24H2, for now, gets all the same security fixes. When people say “always run the latest” they mean stay on a supported OS and always have as many security updates as possible within reason.

Have you tried creating a new VM and attaching your existing vhdx or whatever to it?

For a look at what being governed by chatgpt would look like, watch pluribus

Ironic considering the UK spent hundreds of years making other countries British by force

“It’s not my job to keep the President of the United States happy.”

That’s Jeffery Epstein’s job

I don’t need AI to tell me that ‘nonetheless’ is one word.

That’s fine, I’m still trying to figure out what you were trying to say with “putting a notion in”. Is that an idiom somewhere? Maybe somewhere that doesn’t speak English?

It was never stated or implied that boiling water is unnatural.

Using boiling water to cook food is also natural.

You’re putting a notion in that was never there.

Pardon me going a little off topic, but I can’t get over how bad this sentence is.

better reading comprehension

Work on your writing next.

boiling a living creature —> alive <---- is not a ‘natural’ thing in human nature.

Is ‘natural’ in single quotes because you’re using your own personal definition of ‘natural’?

Looking at every other carnivore on the planet, I’d say that empathizing with our food is less ‘natural’ than killing it painfully.
