Thank you Microsoft, forcing everyone to buy new CPUs just to be able to run their latest iteration of Windows.
Wat. This has nothing to do with Windows 11 system requirements.
Windows required CPU's to have certain extensions/instructions to use the newest version, which might have required buying a new CPU and thus getting one of the affected ones. However, I don't think it's reasonable to blame Microsoft for this.
M$ is not the source of this problem, but they did force TPM 2.0 on their OS, forcing people to throw away older CPUs, so they made it much worse.
Oh yeah, I forgot about TPM 2.0 and was just thinking about
POPCNTetc.Joke's on MS, I'm happy that it doesn't nag me to upgrade.
