We are in the same boat as so many others are. Microsoft should add the Corei7-7700k processor to the  supported group of processors for Windows 11. It's only a 4 year old custom pc costing thousands of dollars and runs extremely well and we have several of them. We will not replace them because Microsoft says so. We will also delay all new PC purchases for our company choosing to remain on Windows 10 including not recommending Windows 11 to our clients. Microsoft has not provided any explanation let alone an acceptable one for their actions and the Windows 11 testers confirm that it runs just fine with Windows 11. Jeronimo2440

Sure, if W11 don't want my 7700k, and if I need to wait 2025 with W10, it's ok, thanks MS for my internal économie ! Waiting W12 for upgrade my hardware, is not a problem for us.

95, not 98, 2000, XP, not Vista, Seven, not 8/8.1, W10, no W11, W12, chronicle as the same !

    With the Android support, guessing most/all new apps will be Android as why do Windows-only anymore. Guessing we're waiting for an Android or Chrome that is up to desktop tasks and W12 is going to be for dinosaurs.
