My PC doesn't meet minimum hardware specs
Apparently my CPU AMD Threadripper 1950x is not Windows11 compatible.
Short of buying a new CPU, is there anything I can do?
And why is this happening?

- That's right, AMD Threadripper 1950x is not compatible with Windows 11. You need to get a supported CPU in this case.
