Comment on Report: Microsoft quietly kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet
tty5@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI live in the middle of nowhere and while my home has 10/1 Mbit DSL option my workshop 250m away has nothing and no mobile signal. Am I supposed to drag PC used for CNC home to activate windows or should I get 2nd starlink subscription?
Why are you not using a 2.4ghz or 5ghz wireless bridge?
I’ve got a 5ghz bridge between my garage and house, and it goes through 2 trees and still gives me around 900mbs. It’s over 350m away too.
Not saying that the guy bitching about people who don’t have Internet to active win11…just offering you an idea to fix your lack of Internet in your workshop.
Because I don’t need an internet connection in the workshop. I don’t want to install a bridge just to activate windows.
Ok then why bring it up? Are you doing stuff in the workshop that requires you to activate multiple windows machines?

lol PCs and laptops don’t need to be “dragged” anywhere. They’re not bookshelves, they’re tiny and light.
So when you buy a new computer you set it up for the first time in your house instead of your shed. You only have to activate it once.

Pc in question is a part of a 3000kg CNC machine
