I have a customer that has an old Windows 7 laptop that runs VelbusLink
if that helps you
(Thumb up for Linux Davinci Resolve, the ONLY reason I can’t run it on my new machine is that I don’t have the appropriate GPU, but as soon as I can afford a decent Radeon… that will be resolved… NOT the £28,000 card… that’s a step TOO far)
Ow, I have that too, it is not a problem. But in the future if there is a VelbusLink update, a later version, there will be a point where Velbus will stop supporting Win10! That is a real problem.
I found there is a way to have a Win11 running in a VM and bypassing TPM requirement. If needed I may try that. For security you can lock out internet access in the VM.
Boot from Windows 11 ISO
When you hit the “This PC can’t run Windows 11” screen:
Press Shift + F10 → opens command prompt
Run:
regedit
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
Create a new key: LabConfig
Inside it, create DWORD values:
BypassTPMCheck = 1
BypassSecureBootCheck = 1
Continue installation
That may work. For the time being we’re good in Win10.
