Why would a 4 year old CPU be a problem. Mine is a r Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2701 MHz, 4 core.
I think it is best when most people run the same MS Windows OS. My computer has Secure Boot and the firmware upgrade for tpm 2.0. So best would be to allow this CPU for W11. Why not? Is there a security issue? And will I not have a security issue with W10. My fear is that security updates for W11 will get priority, so I will be stuck with a less secure W10.
I feel forced to new (because safer) hardware. Is there no other solution?
We should do much more to prevent e-waste and Microsoft is not doing its best in this respect!
Many workarounds have been presented if MS does not support the CPU, but if that is possible, why not allow those CPUs anyhow?
If these rejected CPUs give problems, indicate which. Show examples were it goes wrong. I now plainly do not even belief what Microsoft is saying.
MS sells hardware, so with the new OS they are self-promoting their new hardware. Shame on you MS!
It is time to separate the hardware and software business apparently under anti-kartel laws! Will then also hold for Apple and Google of course!
