It could run 11 but MS won’t let me.

The stuff microsoft is making mandatory for windows 11 is good stuff. You can't enable core isolation on hardware that's not compatible with windows 11

Any PC running hardware that's too old to have the features you need for 11 would need to be replaced soon anyway

Yet MS lets you run 11 in a VM on a PC that it says can't run 11 if you try and install it to bare metal. So I have 11 running in a VM on a Windows 10 PC.

And no, it doesn't necessarily need to be replaced soon. My Xeon is faster and more capable than the N4500 PC I bought as a raspberry pi replacement. Yet it came with Win11 and MS doesn't complain.
