Could you install older windows systems on a single board x86? Like maybe xp? Or windows 7?
Why would you want to?
Because I don't like Windows 10, and Windows 11 seems like a privacy nightmare.
And Windows XP and 7 are a security nightmare without any support.
Not too long until Windows 10 joins the list and that’s gonna be a real nightmare because there are so many PCs still running Windows 10 that run perfectly fine but aren’t "capable" or running Windows 11. People won’t just throw away their PCs and they can’t upgrade to 11. Sure, some will try Linux but too many won’t and they’ll be easy targets.
My main PC is Windows 7. About 10 years ago I remember I had to do something with the firewall. I remember turning it off. I legit do not remember if I turned it back on.
I really hope you’re joking because that’s a security nightmare.
