Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can’t upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it’s an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn’t been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced…

    I’m pretty sure it eventually stopped working altogether when Windows 7 was cut off. I’m like 80% sure that’s what eventually force me to upgrade to 10 but it’s been a while.

      Wonder if they are in cahoots? I see no good reason why fusion would want to do this to customers? It’s one thing if they think the support burden for older OS is too great (silly, but whatever I guess) but to brick the actual software is fucked.
