You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys::Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.

Everything since 7 has been a skip.

You younguns haven't met a decent OS! XP was the last decent Windows... Nah, 2000 was... Ah fuck it!

Every OS wastes your time

From the desktop to the lap

Everything since the abacus

Just a bunch of crap

Personally I'm halfway offended that my job forces win 11 on us, at least 10 didn't remove the old settings dialogs.
