Windows 11 Unsupported on I7-7700
Microsoft’s support for Windows 11 is highly focused on newer CPU architectures. While the i7-7700 is still a decent chip, it's based on the 7th Gen Intel architecture, which doesn’t meet Microsoft's criteria for "supported" processors. They’ve set this standard to ensure they can provide the best performance, security, and compatibility with upcoming features. Newer processors often come with enhancements that help support those features effectively.
Supported for what? My processor still does everything I need and it does it quickly. If you are saying it lacks certain security features that only hardware can provide, I "might" be able to accept that. However, an add-on card could likely solve that. Of course Microsoft is "highly focused on newer CPU architectures". Microsoft Obsolete's a processor so that they can sell Windows...period. This isn't even taking into account the value of the amount of data that they mine, and likely sell, from those that use their software. Who was it that said "greed is good" ?
I keep reading that the I7-7700 lacks "certain" security features. Can ANYONE tell me in detail WHAT those "certain security features" are that the I7-7700 is lacking? Stating that it lacks"Certain security features" without providing the details is about as vague an answer as one can get.
I might go back to Linux...or at least a dual boot system with Linux.
