You misunderstood me. I'm saying on some computers it's on by default and it must be turned off if that's not something you want on the computer. I leave it on as I don't really see any difference in performance with it on or off.
Ok, qualifying that with "if that's not something you want on the computer" makes much more sense.
I bought a win 10 key for $12 and it passed the windows 11 test
)
I'm picky- I keep it on top, small icons, no apps/folders pinned, lots of notification tray icons, no combining icons, and unlocked so I can move it from display to display. 
i think its fine....but there are a few things we cant change yet like icon size (on the task bar) also can it be forced to be what?I'm concerned about rumors I've seen that the Taskbar is no longer as customizable
Can anyone who is using the preview comment on how much like the Win10 Taskbar it can be forced to be at this point?
in the leak it is not .. and if you run 2 monitors, I haven't been able to get the taskbar to function properly on the secondary monitor yet .. can't pin anything to itI'm concerned about rumors I've seen that the Taskbar is no longer as customizable

forced to be like Windows 10 Taskbar. Closer to "Windows 2000" than "iPad"
only home version, just like now with 10.
Not yet for sure....i figure startisback and others will make updates soon for the win11 and at least that usually allows lots of task bar tweaks (they did with 10 anyway). Im really digging it and haven't found any stability issues so far. its WAY better than 10 or 8 was in the beginning at least IMOforced to be like Windows 10 Taskbar. Closer to "Windows 2000" than "iPad"
I'll try it in a VM sometime
dont tell anyone but thats because its still 10, just with a face lift and tweaks.
Well, what can anyone expect? There is no way that MS could redo large parts of the code base and not spend years, years in debug, test, and endless public beta.dont tell anyone but thats because its still 10, just with a face lift and tweaks.
of course your right....the hole thing is typical of a normal update...NOTHING had to be reinstalled on mine or didnt work so far (except for startisback)dont tell anyone but thats because its still 10, just with a face lift and tweaks.
thats what i understood to be the case, the core 10 os was the last and they would just keep refining it, 11 is a visual refinement with some new security stuff(tpm).
I think the real question here is what new features do they need to add and which existing features need major modifications? At this point, the codebase has to be pretty mature. And if they continue with Windows on ARM processors they can't be mucking around too much with the core,.
You can make a local account on Windows 10 Home, you just don't connect to the internet when you set up the computer, say the computer doesn't have internet access, and then it will let you make a local account.
i thought that was removed like in 10 home. isnt that one of the things everyone of screaming about?!
I've installed Windows 10 Home a million times and I've never lost the ability to create a local account, including fresh installs of the newest May 21H1 update. I've heard Windows 11 Home is going to force accounts though, but we'll see.
yes but wait till later this week, sign up for insider and install the official release.
What version? They removed it in a recent version (I think it was version 2004). There was still a way around it by just not having internet connected (either by wifi or from ethernet), but the option was officially removed. It is probably the same on Windows 11 where it wont let you if you are connected to the internet. The option will disappear.
Same model here. XPS 13 9360 with the i7-7500u. It doesn't support it, with TPM 2.0 enabled.
This is not true. It does seem the beta release of Win 11 will not work with Gen 7 or older processors. At least per their checker. My XPS has everything that needs to be on for it to work, but it doesn't and per other articles out there they are saying gen 7 processor is the reason.
I'm not worried, we'll see what happens closer to release.
I think I'll test it on a VM with TPM enabled through VMware Workstation (now that I turned on PTT).
Might have to do with encryption hashes & algorithms. Newer processers support the newer standards.
I literally said what version in my post that you quoted. The newest version from May (21H1). It's never been removed. When you set up your computer for the first time, do not connect to any network when it asks, and then you can select that you don't have access to the internet and it will let you make a local account. If you don't want to start all over, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in with a local account instead ... which will allow you to log out and make a local account. They haven't removed anything, they've just obfuscated the settings, but they're still there. The "workaround" still works. I know because I've reinstalled Windows 10 Home 21H1 at least 30 times on various computers lately. So no, it's not been officially removed.
Newer than Gen 7 actually. (so Gen 8 and above)You need a processor newer than Gen 8 to run Windows 11.
