    I have an Intel core i7 2nd Gen Processor CUP by chance he has 8 core processor based on 64 bits with 16 GB of RAM + GTX 1050 4 GB System type 64-bit operating system, And I am still not compatible for Windows 11 what the hell is this? What about old motherboard and bios how have had no updates any more? How's they can enable TPM and Secure Boot? But they still have good Processor and ram. Yours both requirements totally used less for new update.  I was very excited before but now very disappointed.

    This absolutely ridiculous decision about CPU support will definitely not increase PC sales. What it will lead to is another Windows Vista. But this time, due to reverse circumstances.
    In the presentation, Microsoft claimed that Windows 11 was going to be the most inclusive version of Windows, but with these system requirements, it will end up being the least inclusive version.
    Windows 11 does not have any new features big enough to convince most people to upgrade to new hardware. When many people don't upgrade even when their hardware is supported, how can Microsoft expect them to upgrade to new hardware just to upgrade to a new OS?
    With Microsoft leaving out many relatively new PCs without even giving a reason, most people would just stay with Windows 10 and advise others to do the same.
    The only increase in sales that's happening is in Mac sales, because, guess what, they have better support.

    I guess the pattern of alternating between a good and bad release will continue.

    My pc got the "lowest hardware warnign" and the pc health gives me the link to the support hardware site.

    But i cant see what it it´s triggering the lowest warning in the update window or the test app.

    can we have advanced button or a text that gives you a pointer to what it is thats triggering the warning?

    it might give som users a hint on what to improve and might save support a few call on "i got my pc ... months ago and it says i can't upgrade.." to "hey what do you recomend i uppgrade xxx to .."

    in my case after digin  in to the web site on supported hw i got the cpu part and there i find the lowes to be AMD PRO 2700

    my spec is

    AMD Ryzen PRO 1700 8-core (yes i can see in the support cpu list that im out)

    16 GB

    A320M-A PRO

    RX 580

    Realy nice to be able test new windows builds this way.

    Have a great day
