So. If my PC cannot be upgraded because of your bullshit requirements, can you leave me alone please.
Also in win 11.. if I have an office subscription activated in the OS can you please not throw ads for office 365 then.
It's nonsense.
i just set up a new one the 'right' (according to microsoft) way; allowing it on the network and to link to msa right off the bat, during oobe. sure you 'installed' the office (had 365 on that msa)--it was already there, you just 'activated' it. you also messed-up the document libraries, relocating three to onedrive, even though no pc on the msa has ever even had onedrive turned on in the first place. you also linked the edge browser to msa, even though the user has never, ever used edge for anything (user has been using firefox, exclusively, forever).
there were full screen ads more cloud space and for xbox whatever-the-fuck-that-was during 'first boot'.
I’m a Mac user. I like using Macs, and I like using macOS. Apple are just as bad as MS for this shit.
I have an old MacBook Pro, as well as a pair of older minis. All three were left behind by macOS a few years ago, but if they weren’t all running Sonoma through OpenCore, they’d have an update in the App Store to upgrade to a new OS that Apple won’t let them run.
I think with the latter it might be them pushing a personal account, assuming you're logged in with a work account. It often does this to me on my work computer. Or, it's just being typically annoying - that would make sense too.
No I have it on a personal account on that pc.. it's part of the family network.
Ok, so it's just being extra annoying then. Doesn't surprise me.
Thanks for thinking with me. Keep on being excellent!
