Just because Microsoft has buggy Windows 11 code doesn't mean it is the processor's fault. The 7700's have been proven workhorses for 4+ years without documented flaws. Their non-support by Microsoft is just a decision on Microsoft to lessen their development support costs. However, non-suport of this processor means that we will not be upgrading ANY computers to Windows 11. We are not going to support an environment where some computers are Windows 11 and others Windows 10.
