Support for 6th gen Intel Core i7 machines
Win 11 dev's - I currently have a Dell Inspiron 15 7559. My machine is from the 2016-2017 era and I purchased it with Windows 10 preinstalled in 2018. I would love to hear that this machine would c...
Hello
I have great news for you if your motherboard is compatible with windows11 - then I think you just need to replace the processor with a newer one and everything will work great .

How often do you buy a car and then change the engine in it, shortly after buying it? If you think this question is absurd then you clearly know what I think of this. I shouldn't have to change my cpu to meet Microsoft's requirements. Also I can't swap an AMD processor into an Intel slot. This isn't a lego piece.
Second, good news is only good news if you have tested it. Clearly you do not know and have not tested anything with regards to this. Microsoft is just making stuff up, as it usually does.
Rhetorical question -
Someone comes in with a printer problem.... it's not printing in color when it has the cartridge installed. However, it prints in black.

I have literally seen something such as this on a MS forum before. We are heading down a dark path where every couple of years our hardware will be forced into obsolescence. Rather that allowing the consumer to decide. You might just find Linux popularity increase over time with windows popularity decreasing if you decide these hard limits. I'm willing to go all linux. Funny thing is, I could even get by with a windows vm inside the linux environment.
I understand your frustration, - my computers also do not meet the requirements for Windpws11, but as users we have to adapt , or change the system.
I think Microsoft has surprised millions of users with these requirements.
