Stop, I can only get so erect.
Who am I kidding, I already reverted my machines to Windows 10 ages ago, and haven't had to deal with such bullcrap.
Last week I ditched windows for linux on my last computer.
And yesterday and today have been spent working fruitlessly to mod Baldur's Gate 3.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going wrong. So far, I've gotten a grand total of zero mods to work. If I were still on Windows, I could use one of two or three separate mod managers.
Sadly, this new laptop didn't come with Windows 10, only 11. Which was what fueled the drive to ditch it for linux.
You can download Windows 10 directly from Microsoft. Any version you like, if you use the command line interface.
You can then use an open source bit of software to commercially license it. This is basically legitimate, for all intents and purposes. It's how corporate licenses are done.
A computer built for Windows 11 hardware should work just fine in Windows 10. You might not be able to use the official manufacturer's drivers for certain bits, but the generic drivers should still work.
