Yes you still need a licence which can be obtained here:- link
I've purchased umpteen licences from this company for the many PC's I've built for family friends and colleagues and never had an issue with any of them failing. I've even had server licences from them as I prefer to run server OS's on my machines as they come already debloated. They require some tweaking to run as desktop OS's which is a bit of a learning curve but well worth the effort and I'd certainly recommend giving them a try. (Sorry I digress.)

There is a code in that link above which gives a 20% discount or, I think this code - CyberCPU is still valid for a 25% discount.

The various iterations of Tiny 10 and Tiny 11 can be downloaded here:- link

If anyone isn't too happy about using someone else's custom windows, you can download an ISO direct from Microsoft and create your own custom version using NTLITE. The free version of NTLITE will do all you need. Yes it's another bit of a learning curve but not overly-so and there are plenty of tutorials on youtube.

Good luck with your experimenting.

There are workarounds to facilitate installing Win 11 on older machines that it wasn't intended for. Admittedly, it might not run at its best depending on what spec your PC has, however, it might be worth your time to look into Tiny 11. This weeks Computer Active has a big feature on it. Worth checking out IMHO.

Interesting release of the new Sony a9 III sporting its new Global Shutter and what it possibly means for the future of digital photography. Not cheap at 6k but i'm sure even at that price it's likely to prove a big hit. I wonder if that sensor will find its way into a Pentax camera any time soon

Sausages... Mmmm...

You misspelt 'Mental'

Why waste time sleeping when you can produce lovely images like these.

As an aside, consider a person who has reached sixty years of age and has had an average of eight hours sleep per day. That equates to twenty in years unconscious! Just think what could be done with an extra 20 years of waking life?

Like I said, lovely images Spad, lets hope you enjoy more sleepless nights.

Aged rapidly by the gravity of his crime!

Mmm.. Looks like some kind of new age time piece.... Pretty!

I don't know whether or not you were successful but there are a couple here if it helps:-
