i7/7700k CPU in win 11..

I've run virtualization-based security on E5-2697v4 Broadwell, and the added security is both a negligible performance impact and very much worth it.

However, I don't appreciate being bullied by Microsoft into buying more expensive hardware and an entirely new platform, while the current state of software development hasn't progressed sufficiently to leverage the CPU cores I've already bought.

The message Microsoft sends by imposing these restrictions is alienating to customers, and decisively negative. In light of the unfixable/unpatchable flaws that have recently come to light in UEFI, the continued imposition of the requirement on the population reveals Microsofts claims (that these security features are foundational to Windows 11 proper functioning) as false to an even greater extent than we all are aware that it is.

If Microsoft's strategy is to be seen as a false prophet, charlatan propagator of obvious lies, then I suppose the current strategy is working. But let's be clear, no one out in the real world, by now, is fooled.

I have been on windows 11 since it became available with same CPU i7 7700k and I use my pc 24/7 almost doing work or playing latest games, even windows 10 crashed more than windows 11, really upset about this that Microsoft is being so scummy and adding just their own hardware 7th gen to compatibility list.

Also running Win 11 on an i7 7700k without a single issue since installing 18 months or so ago.

Irrelevant information and 11% acceptable plus I used bypass to ignore CPU obviously and I am well aware worn out topic so others can be made aware as has been stated in the past despite risks depending on device and not to get pressured into purchasing new devices..

`Nuff said..

I very much of same frame of mind and agreement..

I don`t bother any more looking for solutions here as "canned" replies on this subject basically scripted hot air..,, I look for it myself and most times I do find..
