Trust and Deprecating Hardware and Software
I still run a lot of OLD software (and hardware) that has met my needs for 40+ years.
For example my Office-97 works for me (other than Microsoft eliminated MACROs, HLP file access, and the use of the VB Editor ALL of which I would like to use). There is no over ride that I know of,even for those of us who work Offline as Win-10 is in control.
Newer software and hardware added TRUST. Whether this was for security purposes, OR whether it was done as a round about way to deprecated old software/hardware one may never know for sure.
With Win-11, my understanding is it requires a TRUST-II module (now built into most MOBO's.). If this is in fact correct
will NOT this one fact --. ANY Upgrade to Win-11 won't work unless TRUST-II capable -- deprecate ALL hardware and software??
