We saw the information referenced and it does not explain it. Why would Windows 11 cause our Core-i7 7700k computers to crash when they don’t under windows 10? Ridiculous.

Because each processor has unique machine code level instructions and they could not be bothered to program and test them without an assurance that they recently got paid for it. Whereas windows 10 you could have bought it last week so to make the OS obsolete in a week is not fair hence the free upgrade but if you bought a 7th generation pc last week then you are dumb they know that people bought those 4 years ago.. they are a business not a charity
