    You are welcome.. I hope they work for you should you try an upgrade or installation..

    My machines are working flawlessly so far, but I suppose that could change..

    If Microsoft objects to the workarounds strongly enough, I suppose they could find ways to screw things up in the future..

    Hi Raju,

    I would like to help you on your quest, I am able to run VBS, Secure Boot, UEFI, TPM 2.0, well that is what is mentioned in the Micorsoft Mechanics video.

    I do get the point that security is very important as Windows needs to stand up as a good OS that is working hard to protect users and it has a bad repuration sadly for malware.

    If Micorsoft is revaluating the procssors, they will make sure they test it fully, work with Intel and Amd to make drivers than offically release a new statment, and a udpate list. They wont' update anything until they are sure it will work and it is all good.

    Thank you :)

    Shawn
