Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of and not worth the trouble.

Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key.

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

A ThinkPad P70 workstation laptop, in the process of being rebuilt: Windows 11 having bin installed, now installing all the applications. The HWiNFO application is displayed on the screen, showing the specifications of the laptop.

Reading a November 2001 issue of #PCWorld discussing the upgrade experience for #Windows XP and its surprising reviewers back then were recommending only PC's less than 2 years old should upgrade. Yet, #Windows11 supports some 7th generation processors which date back to 9 years ago. Say what you will, but I think #Microsoft's compatibility cut off in 2025 is somewhat reasonable. But the issue is, PC's last longer and requirements for #Windows10 are the same as #WindowsVista 18 years ago.
