Title: Siverleaf and Windows 11
Post by: BobW on April 17, 2023, 10:55:51 am
Just a heads up.......

Just spoke with Silverleaf and was told that VMSpc is not supported for Windows 11. Nor do they expect to support Windows 11 in the near future.

I have been using an eleven year old 17 inch Windows 7 laptop that I upgraded to Windows 10 on my motorhome's dash for ten years. The laptop's battery is dead and it takes ten minutes to boot. So it was time for a cheap Windows 11 replacement.

Replace the internal battery and go back to what works?

I would do at Scott suggested batteries aren't that hard to change.

When my desktop crashed earlier this year I bought a refurbished Dell from Amazon with a 1 TB ssd hard drive running windows 10 Pro. so all my programs from windows 7 and 10 would still work. Very cheap and with a 1 year warrantee.

I've been using W11 with VMSpc for several months at this point. While it may not be supported, it certainly works for what I need. Any reason to not use it?
