Imagine you have a perfectly running system with i7, secure boot and tpm.<br><br>But then windows 11 be like : your cpu is not in our list, bye.,(reply>), @Hollowfied121 Windows 11 will run on a 64-bit Pentium 4... but why you'd want to install that piece of impressive trashware is beyond me. 8.1 is still supported and WINE is impressively compatible these days.,(reply>), @clorytetra they have said that its not a hard lock out and only a soft requirement. Currently it works fine on any system just can't use the upgrade system, , those requirements will pass after the initial rollout and trials. This is more for businesses and governments initially as there the ones who will be benefiting and wanting the extra security not the average users, also where most of MS gets its money.,(reply>), Bruh, that's me. I have the other requirements even tpm2.0, but since my i5 is not new enough It's "not compatible".
