Comment on Report: Microsoft quietly kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet

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?

    Because I shouldn’t have to. It’s purely Microsoft forcing it.
    
    I only have 1 PC in my workshop, but there are companies in the same situation which have dozens.

    Why shouldn’t you have to? Because you say so?
    
    Companies use the internet to manage their devices and communicate, so it’s not an issue.
    
    There are many simple and easy solutions to your problem, you just don’t want it to be solved because you want to complain.

    Not saying you should, I was just pointing out that you can get Internet/connection to your garage/workshop for like $100 these days. I’d assume most shops with that large of a footprint have some sort of IT service, in house IT, or buying it from a vendor that has that setup already.
