Gentle reminder to everyone that support for [#windows10](https://mastodon.social/tags/windows10) ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:
  • @yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot I don't know. If they have a database were used keys are checked during activation process, it could be difficult to globally crack this... 🤷

    if you change hardware and want to reuse the same digital key, as the key has already been used, activation on MS side will just be rejected: you have to buy a new digital key

    digital keys don't work the same way than product keys (that are stored on hardware)

  • @yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot it seems not (cf. screenshot)

    What I use is a digital license: it seems the digital license is not stored in the hardware
    I suppose when it's activated, windows send information to a MS Server
    They store the information the digital license is used by this user/hardware

    If you try to reuse the digital license key, you'll be rejected during activation because it's already flagged as used on MS side

    Something like this I think 🙃

  • @yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot I bought a valid license key product of W11 of 0.14eur :ablobcatcoffee:
    (And my w10 also have a valid license key bought for similar price)

    It's an OEM license so once it's used, I can't reuse it on an another computer
    But at this price I think it's Ok to buy a new one if the MB is dead 😅

    But an another side, MB of a VM normally won't die 💪

    I'm not sure what you mean by "since the vm doesn't provide the chip to embed the license"?

  • @yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot most of windows users don't even know what is a partition... talking about GPT, you can be sure they'll interpret this as something related to ChatGPT... :ablobcatknitsweats:

    also on my side, I have a w10 running in VM, with MBR.
    cloned the VM and upgraded it to w11 took me time and I had to do a lot of tech stuff for the GPT
    not hard, but technical; too technical for most of Windows users probably..

  • This week in KDE: [#Plasma6](https://floss.social/tags/Plasma6) development continues, aiming for a stabler, more consistent desktop, and easier to use applications.
  • @Bro666 I wasn't aware of CTRL+M
    This makes my day thanks!
    (Then I'll maybe reconsider other applications for which hamburger seems to be the default...)

    I always use classic menu and never saw that the hamburger menu already exists in Kate 😅

    I was so afraid when I saw the screenshot :ablobcatknitsweats:

  • @[email protected] @[email protected] ooh...
    A hamburger menu in Kate :ablobcatknitsweats:

    My fears seems to come true 😰

    I'll wait to see the final result but it's probably for me the signal to start to look for something else 😟
