Apparently, the PC I was given by my employer less than a year ago is too out of date (uses Windows 10) and I have to have Windows 11 now for security reasons. I have a gaming PC, but it’s my partner’s, too, and it’d be a huge waste of its power and graphics card, plus it’d have to be moved. I really don’t want to do that.
A new company owns the company I work for now, but still. This is not what I agreed to. Ugh. I’m so annoyed.
It’s not that expensive, really ($200), but it’s the principle of the matter. How long will it be before they force me to do this again, anyway??? I already get paid a shit wage.
Can… you not upgrade your current work machine to win11?
Just tell them that you’ll send them back the laptop for the upgrade if you have to, or IT can do it remotely, but you dont have another PC to use, that’s why you had one issued.
They only way I would use my personal PC is if I am VPN+RDPing into a work machine, and that’s it. I’ve done that many times before, as that’s secure and doesn’t have any work resources on your oc itself, you’re just remotely connecting to your actual work PC over a secure vpn.
That’s the only scenario that I use my personal PC for work.
My laptop doesn’t support upgrading to win 11 because of its processor. You can hack your way around shit like that, but it takes some doing.
