    If that's the case than the Ryzen 2000 series chips should be excluded as well considering they are just a refresh of the Ryzen 1000 series chips, literally no difference at all except for a slight bump in performance, I understand chips from 2011 - 2015 being excluded but come on anything after that should be able to handle it pretty well

    For alot of people the processor is the problem.  Follow the following link for Intel processors https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors  

    I believe the reason for the processor being resticted is because the older ones cannot handle the animation, games and graphics.

    That was the wink and trust me.  I was basically saying that they aren't getting updates and for him not to update to it.  The wink is first hand knowledge.

    What I don't understand is why my PC isn't compatible with windows 11, it's not a weak system at all, In fact I meet all of the requirements except for my CPU which is the Ryzen 5 1600, how is it that Ryzen 2000 series chips which are just a refresh of Ryzen 1000 chips are compatible with windows 11 but the Ryzen 1000 chips are not?
