- Comment on Psychedelics are the cheat code 1 week ago:
Mushrooms definitely helped me work on my issues. They key with every psychedelic.ive done though is you have to go in with the right attitude. If you’re afraid of what acid might do, the anxiety is going to make you miserable for 12 hours. Shrooms supercharge my emotions so when I did them my 9th day of vacation when I was starting to really miss my dog they made me really sad.

The hypervisor doesn’t necessarily present the guest the exact CPU you’re running. Maybe it was presenting an older model, or something stripped down that didn’t have the features win 11 was looking for. It’s moot.now that you found a solution but I believe this is what happened and moving the disks to a new VM probably would have worked.

You get into any big organization and legacy becomes a larger and larger part of the way things are kept running. Hell just for shits and giggles look at the back end of blood banks, government, airports and non blood banks back end infrastructure. I would be shocked if anything was running on less then a decade old software.
Maybe on the backend or specialized single purpose appliances. Running decade old OS’s on workstations is negligence boardering on malpractice.

It sounds like your VM config was presenting a COU or TPM config that the upgrade wasn’t comfortable with. If your new machine presented acceptable configs to a brand new VM, then making a new VM and feeding it the old .vhdx would be the same as pulling a storage device and putting it in a new motherboard that was win 11 compliant. After a reboot to install new drivers it probably would have upgraded happily.

It’s dogshit after windows 7
Lol
Not only were there dogshit windows versions before 7, 8 was an upgrade in almost other way other than “omg start menu big now” culture shock. The new task manager alone was worth having a slightly bigger start menu.

25H2 is a feature update. 24H2, for now, gets all the same security fixes. When people say “always run the latest” they mean stay on a supported OS and always have as many security updates as possible within reason.

Have you tried creating a new VM and attaching your existing vhdx or whatever to it?

You have to file no matter what. You’re risking an IRS investigation you probably can’t afford.

- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 1 month ago:
From another cloudflare customer, if our sites still work internally it’s marginally better than them being broken both inside and outside the org as they would be if they were ddosed directly. I guess it depends on what kind of services you’re running.
