Fair. After some consideration, I think I don't really need Windows 11 immediately now. I'll just stick to Windows 10 for now until then. Though as I said before, I am kind of surprised Microsoft is keeping their foot on the 8+ gen requirement. It's kinda the same reason why Windows Vista was...

As far as i recall for these vulnerabilities, they can also be fixed through BIOS updates. From what I heard, some manufactors even actually supplied BIOS updates that would fix these vulnerabilities. I checked with my 6th gen processor and the checker told me that I am secure from both...

I still think it's a kinda dumb thing to do. I know it's just releasing now or in a few hours, but I do want to see support for more 7th gen and maybe 6 gen cores. I'm like one gen away from 7th gen. I know I could also use the iso but I'm cautious due to recent updates and rumors about win 11...

Microsoft actually halting unsupported CPU from getting security updates would be a first. I think there will be intense backlash, probably more so than the initial one for the CPU thing

Maybe I'm not very informed on this but I really swore that as long as you met everything but the CPU then you could still keep or install Windows 11. The last time I checked Windows Update, it told me that I can upgrade but because it's not recommended hardware I might get bugs or errors.

I just checked on my laptop. Earlier it was saying that it wouldn't work at all and cannot be installed, but now it simply tells me that I may encounter bugs that may impact my laptop experience. But we will see.

If your BIOS supports it, and you haven't already, you can easily convert into GPT: MBR2GPT - Windows Deployment

That is 100% true. Do keep in mind, I shouldn't need to say it since peoples do know but there is an update on the advisor. It should tell you that your processor is not compatible. They've yet to put in the notice saying it's possible but not advisable.

Reminder that this is only the soft limit. Being in that list means you're 100% guaranteed it will work on those. You can install Windows 11 on an older processor, but it might not be advisable:

That was released early 2011 wasn't it? Mine is from Sep 2015. See this post; Soft limits is on the cpu. That means you might have a shot but it's not advisable

Might not be too relevant but what's your cpu processor?

Read my previous post. Soft limit on cores so it might work well as long as it dates to 5 years ago.

Great find: There is a soft and hard limit for the Windows 11 upgrade. Hard limit is obv these described by the system requirement. Those cannot upgrade to Windows 11. The soft limit are TPM and, bingo, core generation. Those in the list are guaranteed to work on Windows 11. It is in fact...

That core is from November 2008. And it worked fine, perfect in fact, right? Okay, I think I should have a better chance for my case then. Mine has been released in September 2015 and it is said to be a very viable core for gaming. So it would be powerful. I really think it is a ploy for...

Even a 3 years old processor is unsupported!? What is Microsoft planning... Since it's much more recent I think you might have a more reliability (much higher chance of getting it working on windows 11). For me it's on the lower side. But I think it might work. I've seen peoples getting it...
