Ok,
I cant do it.
But i have the impression that an updated windows 10 doesnt made anything stop working, and also you dont need to format.

Is windows update task to do this regulary (as the mobile stores do in your phone)

But i will not insist if it is not your desire, but be aware that it is probably possible to update your win 10, and if it still complains about the hardware not support wsl it is just a registry hack to enable it.

Regards,

@AMIGASYSTEM - I believe that AROS needs to stand on its own two feet; too many dependencies on other operating systems will make it seem like some sort of emulator to those who want to try it out.

Having the Development package included by default in an AROS distribution and being able to compile with extreme ease by simply opening a shell is a major advantage, as well as a reason to be curious enough to give it a try.

This can only work out with AROS x64, because it can use plenty of memory.

Self-hosting a native compiler on any other 32-bit platform (not only 68k) isn't something feasible nowadays that compilers require A LOT of RAM to work. It works out only with old compilers, but that's something which AROS can't stick with in the long term (e.g.: Cx23 arrived and C++26 is knocking at the door).

@AMIGASYSTEM - My PCs have a huge amount of data and a lot of configurations that I would lose or that wouldn't work with a new OS. Given my age and some health issues, I don't feel up to reinstalling everything from scratch right now. As I said, I hope someone younger and more capable than me will do this for the community.

You can try to update your systems to Windows 11 using RuFus to patch the ISO image on-the-fly to remove not needed requirements (TPM) that Microsoft imposes.

If it works (and it should work out: in the past I've upgraded even netbooks which natively had Windows 7) then you can check if all your applications and setting are functional.

If you're not satisfied, then you can always rollback to your previous Windows version as it was before the installation.

At least, you can give a try: Windows 11 deserves it, because WSL2 is a great tool to have if you want to use Linux without the hassle of having a virtual machine or dual boot.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of this interesting procedure; when I have the time and a spare PC, I’ll install Windows 11.

that all sounds very interesting. I am currently updating and testing my 3.1 and Aros distribution but when I am ready with it, in august, I will test it and perhaps do a rebuild of my distribution based on it
