Windows 11 won't update after installation with unsupported CPUs
Users will be able to install Windows 11 on PCs with CPUs that are older than the operating system's official support, but they will not be able to get updates and driver upgrades. It's not clear why this is the case.
Even security updates may not be delivered to consumers who have Windows 11 installed on a computer that Microsoft does not officially support. Additionally, it pertains to feature upgrades as well as driver updates that may or may not be received. Older processors will not be supported at all by Windows Update in the future. Because there will be no official update, installing Windows 11 on an older PC can be accomplished by downloading and installing an ISO file on your own computer.
Due to the fact that Windows 11, in comparison to Windows 10, has relatively high system requirements, the problem arises. In the case of Intel, this applies to an Intel Core 7820HQ, an Intel Core of the eighth generation or newer, and for AMD, it applies to an AMD Zen 2 or newer processor. Additional requirements for the system include 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage space, as well as a graphics card with DirectX 12 compatibility, as well as UEFI with Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. Windows 11 will be released in the fall of this year.

I am wary about this. Secure boot is the cancer prohibiting many laptop and pre-build (from HP/Acer etc) systems to install anything else but Windows on their system.
Imho MS with Window 11 has set it's eyes to lock all other OS from the PCs and permanently keep the spyware running.
I will say this again. Dump windows try Linux especially distros like Manjaro (KDE desktop is easy to get to for Windows Users) which is rolling distro with up to date kernels and drivers all the time.
Everything runs without issue. Especially games, if you have them on Steam they run all the same, just run Steam and download them.
Only some ancient rare games require to use PlayOnLinux (in my case out of 400 games, only Trackmania 2 doesn't run through Steam)
Give it a try nothing to lose.
FYI several CPU heavy games, run 20% faster on the 3900X in Linux than Windows 10 due to the better scheduler.

Atleast it's just a CPU, those are still going for normal prices.

Most nonsensical move ever from MS. No updates then why even allow it to be installed on older systems? What the hell is happening at MS?
