Windows 10: Why on earth does MS think I will buy a new computer to run windows 11? this year?

The idea that everyone will rush out to purchase a new PC just to run Windows 11 is a fantastic leap of faith on your part. Its very arrogant and it won't work.. Some of us will be forced to install new OS to carry on using our older technology.But the real problem for Microsoft is this.Having purchased a MS PC with good money - we have been told over the past 24 months that it isn't good enough to run the new version of Windows, and now that with support running out we must consider selling or trading in our equipment in order to run your new OS. It isn't a good look - if I purchased any ot

Hi Abdul,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• What exactly happens when you try to open it?
• Do you get any error message or error code on the screen?

There could be several reasons for this cause. I would suggest you to try the steps below and check the result.

Step 1: Place the computer in clean boot state to avoid any third party software conflict.

To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

Placing your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

Step 2: I suggest you to uninstall the Google Earth software version and reinstall the latest Google Earth software in compatibility mode and check, if it works.

Follow these steps to install the latest Google Earth software in the compatibility mode.

1. Download the latest Google Earth software version from the Google Earth official website.

2. Right-click on the setup file and click on "Properties".

3. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode” and select previous Operating System from the drop down.

About buying a new computer

Hello, My computer is getting old, and windows 10 will soon stop receiving updates. This computer cannot be upgraded to windows 11. So I started thinking to buy a new computer with windows 11 on it. This time, I think, that the OS and office will be installed on a SSD drive, including some (not many) programs installed. I intend to remove 3 good hard disks from the old PC and install them in the new one. Most portable programs and data are on them. Now I have some questions, please: 1. Recommended size of the SSD drive. 2. One of the 3 hard disks has windows 10 on it (in a separate partition). After installing those disks in the new PC, what can I expect when booting the Windows 11 ? If everything goes well, then the windows 10 partition will be erased / formated. Answers will be appreciated. Any suggestions will be welcome Thanks OS Windows 10 pro, 19045.3803 22H2 x64
