      Well, more like 7 onwards. XP was quite hit and miss unless you did a load of prep first.

      It must have stopped with Win11. Tried to upgrade one of my family members Laptop. Took the ssd from the old one, put it in the new Laptop and only got to the Windows rescue Window. With Linux. I can setup an ssd with my laptop and when setup, plug it into my headless server and everything works fine.

      Yup. though for GPU drivers you’ll need to cleanly reinstall them if you downloaded them separately from windows update (which is a requirement for most gaming GPU users)

      At least on linux its [insert distro command here] and it’ll have your new drivers up and running for you without bloatware
