I have 3 computers that do not qualify for the update from 10 to 11 so I turned them
into Chromebooks. They all work beautifully. But I also have one desktop that I
specifically wanted to upgrade.

The program Flyby11 did the trick for me. I downloaded it from GitHub. Once unzipped, I ran it as admin and it let me download the ISO from inside the program
directly from Microsoft. Once downloaded, I dragged the ISO into the program and it
did the rest.

I didn't have to make any changes to the Windows registration file. It bypassed the TPM
and Secure boot requirements and installed it perfectly.

My system uses the same Windows license as before and Windows update works just as
it should. EOL is now extended from Oct 14, 2025 to Oct 29, 2029 with the help from a
free program.

Love it!

The computer that was my late Mom's got so slow, that I finally
just powered it down (it had Windows 10 on it). As it turned out,
one of my VGA monitors failed, and I had to use the monitor from the
W10 system as a replacement.

That's good news for W10 users.

If you still have the computer, you could try installing Google's Chrome Flex on it. It
should work on any computer. It's free so it may be worth the try. You can do a search
on YouTube for step by step instructions. All you need is a USB stick and a little
patience.

Good luck.

A cloud based operating system. An interesting idea, expecially if privacy isn't a concern.

That sort of sounds like a central computer with remote terminals, which is already a common thing (both dumb terminals and more fully-featured terminals).
