    Believe that insiders, who for so long have collaborated hard with the advancement and correction of an OS since its inception, today can be excluded from a new version of Windows due to minimum requirements that we know we have (as shown by our own machine) and to place ourselves (in my case) that by having a 7th generation i7 processor, it is completely disrespecting our work and collaboration. I meet all the other requirements, not just the minimums but the recommended ones. However, PC Health continues to insist that I do not comply with them ... Because of a Generation of a Processor? I am ashamed of MS for the way we are treated. I'm sorry to tell you that many, but thousands, will choose to RECOMMEND THAT THE NEW OPERATING SYSTEM NOT BE INSTALLED. With your absurd demands you must understand that a bad decision made has its consequences. The companies we support will support our recommendations. Sorry MS. If they tried to launch an Operating System with such requirements and place an application that will check if we are suitable and it is failed, we will not want to think that it will be Windows 11. It is anger and frustration what you feel, after having collaborated since 2007 to date , with you.

    I completely agree with you.

    I do not even understand why 5th, 6th and 7th generation Intel processors are not supported as the only improvements 8th gen has is speed and increase in the amount of RAM that can be connected. But this amount is way above Windows 11's RAM requirements.

    If my PC doesn't meet the system requirements for Windows 11, but meets the requirements for Windows insider program (in fact, I am on the dev channel), do I have to go back to Win10 after general availability?

    I have it activated, like the secure boot, from the clean installation. It has always been that way.
