Believe it or not, I actually called Windows support once and they were actually helpful and friendly. Try them and see what they may have to offer.

Updating the BIOS should be easy. All modern motherboards have a QuickFlash / EasyFlash option built into the existing BIOS.
Ignore Windows update message (as it doesn't re-check sometimes) & just focus on compatibility app. If it says you're good, then you're good.
Then just use one of these options to upgrade: Download Windows 11[^]
But TBH I would stick with Win10 unless you plan on doing a clean install of Win11. Or unless you really care about the UI refresh it doesn't offer you anything of value. Win10 is just going to be more stable on a lot of hardware most likely.

When I enabled my TPM, the compatibility app said my PC was ready for 11. It took 3 days before Windows update said the same.
The Start Menu and taskbar changes are going to keep me on Windows 10 for a few years yet. I'll probably try 11 on a vm at some point, but there's no rush.

You know the funny thing?
After you said that I tested on my PC right now and.. behold! My PC can be upgraded now!

Just found out that none of my 19 computers, including the ones' only 6 months old, are 11 ready.
Linux--here I come. I'll run Windows 95 under Linux Virtualbox to do what I need to do.

Pah, Windows 3.1 or nothing!
Performance only went downhill after that!

The "undisclosed" bank... Well, that will put a lot of people's minds at rest - not. What bank transfers huge amounts of money based on the manager "recognising the voice" of a customer? Sounds like there may be some work for some security analysts in the Middle East coming up very soon...

Lots of banks use voice recognition for authentication. It's not a manager listening to the voice, it's a computer. (EDIT: I just read the article and saw that it was a bank employee.)
I know that Fidelity Investments uses voice recognition to authenticate callers.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

One would hope so. Probably bad reporting but it does refer to the "branch manager" recognising the voice...

Yeah, they use it in addition to the usual forms of authentication. They don't use it only by itself.

Using one factor authentification is totally foolish. The bank system should still ask for a passphrase even though the voice is matching already. Also there should be limit on how much transfer can be done in a day. In my country, one can only transfer a maximum of 20 millions IDR (about 1400 USD) in a day when you perform distant operation like this. More than that, you have to come to the bank. Like this, a hacker can't simply empty your saving. The bank will send notification to me whenever a transaction happened.
The Bank in this news shold be responsible for the loss.

I feel dumb every time someone posts one of these.
