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

    You're kidding, right? Apple hasn't dominated the PC market since the 80's. News flash too: They also use Intel CPU's, and limit OS upgrades based on hardware. Your logic is incredibly flawed.

      I’m running W11 on my 7700, I installed a TPM I bought on eBay for 10 bucks a year ago and on the last update I got an official version as far as I can tell, no more watermark?

        I haven't seen one in awhile either. I switched back to the Beta channel and opted to unenroll from the Windows Insider program, and I've had zero warnings other than the normal one under Windows Update.
