      That can get reverted when windows updates, the group policy doesn’t

      I set mine through settings 7 years ago on my laptop. It went from Windows 10 (with all updates) to Windows 11 (and all updates) and it didn’t change.

      No one on Lemmy should be running Windows Home lol

      Huh? Why not? Is this some sort of elitist cabal where we look down upon people who can’t dish out the extra money for features 99% of the population don’t need? Or are we somehow advocating for piracy for… clout?

          Setting can revert, look at this thread

          Like, I said:

          It was around 10 years for my PC, although that didn’t go up to Win11.

          No settings changes observed. I don’t know, maybe it’s a regional thing - I’m in the EU.

          I regret replying, I was mostly joking about Windows Home but he main reason is because it requires a MS account though.

          Well, when your joke sounds exactly like what a lot of people are actually saying, and you don’t add the infamous /s tag, don’t be surprised when someone doesn’t interpret it as a joke.

      I wish to run linux but dad doesn’t understand shit about it so I’m not allowed to linux mint (chill im a noob) his laptop but he does want me to flash 11 on it because it’s been used a decade no resets and storage is full. the forced update actually deleted a summary i needed for a book project for school lol

      when i get my computer to work, ill linux the thing, whatever i find most comfortable with as a safe distro, multibooted with whatever i’m experimenting with. all i need is a power supply, a case, and an on button
