System requirements for Microsoft Windows 11 remain unchanged
Microsoft has reconfirmed that users with outdated systems will not be able to upgrade to the new Windows version due to security reasons, among other things.
The AMD Ryzen 2000 series and Intel's 8000 series CPUs are supported (or newer). TMP 2.0 is also required. The high security requirements, according to Microsoft CEO David Weston, should result in a much more secure system.
“We know it sucks that some aren't going to be eligible for Windows 11, but the great thing to remember is the reason we're doing [this] is to keep devices more productive and [ensure that they have] security than ever before so they can stay protected in this new workforce,”
“Group policy will not enable you to get around the hardware enforcement for Windows 11. We will block you from upgrading your device to an unsupported state since we really want to make sure that your devices stay supported and secure,”
Microsoft announced shortly after the release of the system requirements that it is still reviewing the possibility of supporting Ryzen and Intel 7000 processors from the first generation. No new information has been provided in this area by the developer.

This is quite frankly a crock. MS need to get a grip...forcing people to get rid of perfectly serviceable electronic equipment is a crime and a waste of limited natural resources. None of my 4 PCs will support Windows 11, all run win 10 perfectly without issue. My newest PC is a HP Spectre Laptop, this wasnt cheap its not that old but has a 7th gen Intel with no TMP2.0, its powerful and does everything I want it to do beautifully. Why would I ever bother ditching it just to get Windows 11. Class lawsuit needed I think, lets face it MS have too much money.

As long as Windows 10 gets updated for DirectStorage and the improvements made for remembering multi monitor window positions I'd be happy with 10 for a while. Can't be bothered with 11's taskbar and settings.

I would strongly consider delve into Linux, Manjaro is easy to install and allows you to change everything shall you wish.
Doing it on the 6700HQ laptop atm after the new NVME and 3200C16 ram comes.
PC already moved to Manjaro 2y now.
Windows is not missed AT ALL!!!!
I'm not letting go of my 6700K, M$.

Wrong, but anyway, there are other OS options including one from MS.
So you really think that those consumers need Windows 11 to get on with their lives?
Is anyone even using Windows 10 on such ancient hardware?
A lot of people are disillusioned if they think that they really need the latest OS from Microsoft to continue with what they do on their PC's.
Well yes, my old Phenom II 1055T (6 core) is running Windows 10 without issues, i just use it as a streaming/sharing-machine though
