It seems M$ really doesn't want people to keep using WIndows
I am currently using a legitimate copy of Windows 11, on the latest version. Just started getting this message after the latest update.
Considering I already have Linux and Mac as alternatives, if they actually pull my license they will just lose a lifelong customer. Their business decisions truly boggle the mind...

I'd assume someone accidentally wrote 23H instead of 22H, and then no one else bothered to check it.

in reply to Nanook • • •That's why I just use a VM, I skip all the complications of having to fix bootloaders and broken installs. If anything goes wrong with windows I just delete the VM. Arch barely uses any RAM, so even back when I had only 8GB, windows ran incredibly well. I've updated to 16GB (because I needed the 64 bit version of excel and I wasn't being able to install it due to RAM requirements). Ever since then, I don't even look back to dual booting.
Funny story, originally my laptop was dual booted, but I removed windows completely and formated the partition, and since it was at the beggining of the drive, and you cannot move blocks around so easily in storage (I needed another SSD or hard drive to copy them momentarily) I was left with a hole in my storage. What I did was, mount the directory with the VM image storage to the empty partition. So now it's kind of "dual booting" with some extra steps and with the added benefit of being able to use both OS' at the same time
[TL;DR] If possible, just use a VM

in reply to metaStatic • • •This is the way.
Whenever I installed another operating system (newer Linux or long time ago when dual booting to Windows), I always unplugged the older drive physically. Then installed it and plugged it back. This way none of the OS changes anything on the others boot system. And I choose to boot the drive from UEFI boot menu.

in reply to Nanook • • •No. There are cases which is an error of the operating system, not the operator. Windows in example did that recently (not my machine, I do not use Windows) by ruining grub. Saying it was a bug, but we believe its an attempt of Microsoft ruining grub with intention.
Just because you did not have any problems does not mean its the optimal and easiest way. Also having all operating systems and multiple Kernels and options to boot from for every OS in one boot menu is a mess. I don't want that ever again. Right now I have 5 entries for only one OS. Imagine adding Windows or another OS to it.
Its much easier and cleaner to separate each OS to its own menu, with the way I described earlier. Also much easier to replace an OS this way or make modifications.

in reply to datavoid • • •This message doesn't say anything about the validity of your license, though. Or am I missing something?
I'm not up to date on Windows versions, but saying Win 11 has reached end of service is... unexpected?

in reply to datavoid • • •The screenshot says the version you use reached EoS and you need to update. There's absolutely nothing about invalid licenses in the screenshot.
Good job for getting upvotes on a "haha winblows bad" troll post, I guess.

in reply to Markaos • • •I was frustrated in the moment because my valid license randomly said it reached end of service without reason. Not entirely sure this qualifies as a troll post... Search this problem, considering the thread on the Microsoft forums I wasn't the only one with the issue.
Please reread your comment and what it was replying to, we said the same thing.

Also, you seem like the only person on my block list, so.. congrats, I guess!

You can hope they won't pull your license, but with this shit I'm just hoping they don't brick my fucking system.
