    It is not an error, it is a warning.

    You are running windows 11 on a device that does not meet the minimum specs.

    [the CPU is not on the list of windows 11 supported processors, Windows Processor Requirements Windows 11 Supported AMD Processors | Microsoft Docs]

    the warning is simply reminding you that features may not work properly on unsupported hardware.

    there is always a risk in running pre-release versions there may be bugs and issues that could result in instability or data loss, even if the device does meet the minimum specs.

    regular backups are essential when running any pre-release software.

    Thanks for that indepth explanation. You connected a few dots for me that I hadn't connected since my hobby enthusiasm dropped significantly just before win10 came out and I hadn't really spent much time trying to connect those dots. 🙄

    Unfortunately my Fujitsu t936 has an unsupported core i5 6200u which is disappointing because I'm certain that it's superior to some of the approved processors and has 16gig ram + a 512gig Samsung ssd. Its 6 yrs old I think and still runs better than many new laptops I've had to deal with. Hopefully they loosen up the specs a bit because I can't imagine that it wouldn't run well. I really wasn't planning to replace this thing for another year or so. With the rotating screen, high res display, fingerprint scanner, built in 4g, Backlit keyboard, dual digitizer, and general ruggedization it's gonna be expensive to replace. (it doesn't feel or look rugged but I've dropped it down a flight of stairs, drove off with it on top of my car, and let it slide off a roof where I was installing a ubiquiti access point and it never even flinched!)

    In short, it's gonna cost me $2k to have a Win11 machine....
