Yeah, I'm bummed a lot of these perfectly capable chips are unsupported by Windows 11. Only Intel generation 8 or newer CPUs are officially supported. Installing to an unsupported processor puts you at risk for MS withholding security updates from you in the future.

When MS announced the limitations on CPUs I was kind of gobsmacked. Now I'm just riding windows 10 pro until either all my hardware dies, I get bored with gaming, or an unexpected need arises requiring the change.

My primary machine can run windows 11 but I refuse to "upgrade" out of principle at this point...
