  • My Hobby is Now My Job..

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Sun Sep 14 21:08:42 2025
    Ever since I found a foolproof way to upgrade unsupported computers to Windows 11, I
    am getting requests to do this for neighbors. I posted in Nextdoor and the results are
    good.

    I have one person coming to the house tomorrow to drop of 3 devices. I charge 35 per
    device. I have dome 3 already so far.

    It's fun to help people, and the extra money is a bonus.

    Is that legal?

    Microsoft supports it since they allow you to modify the registry to a point where you
    can bypass the requirements. Once updated, you retain the same product ID code and
    qualify for future updates.

    This video might be one that explains the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNl1FHajW9w
