There is a difference between intel core processors and processors > whatever is 'needed' for w11 (10th gen?). Dont get me wrong, im ok with this change. A 2006 pc shouldnt run w11..

I think W11 should ideally run fine on a 2006 PC, but I don't think there's any reason to expect a computer that old to continue to get support. Still would have been annoyed if they had nixxed booting 4th gen or 6th gen, but that would be my fault for running W11 on devices without official support to begin with.

shouldnt run imo is wrong. a PC from 2006 is more then capable of running windows 11 without issue. maiby need a bit of a ram upgrade but for some light work is fine. getting all the latest security updates is also a good thing with windows. the choice should be made by the end user if their device is powerful enough to run win11.

Imo it shouldnt run w11, but imo they shouldnt have stuck a eol date on windows 10 either which could have kept those systems alive.
You know -> new systems = w11, old systems = w10, both get security updates, but win11 gets feature updates as well.
They can manage both just fine, yet here we are -_-

Also, w10 runs like sheit on older systems. Had to dig on ebay to keep my mom's pc ( core2duo e7300 ) alive and kicking as 4GB of ram was not enough. It was swapping like mad... Windows 7 was the last good windows... -_-
