Thought I’d expand on a THIS THREAD.
I have a retired colleague that was in need of a computer, their 15 year old machine was starting to show problems and while I could have reinstalled Windows, thought it might be better for them to have a machine with TPM. I could have done a Rufus with the TPM requirement disabled, but I’m trying to avoid any issues that might happen later, that I have to attend to free of charge.
After doing some intensive tests on the iGPU and CPU, I’ve been leaving this running for a few days:
I bought a Windows 11 Pro key from Vip-scdkeyss for £21, I’ve bought over a dozen keys from them and have had no issues at all.
I paid for the BIOS upgrade just in case, even though it needed an update that was 3 years old, but you never know!
Anyway, hope that’s of interest to someone. ![]()
