Not impressed. Have to replace my CPU (Ryzen 5 1600) if I want to upgrade.
Yeah yeah, TPM blah blah blah. Still not happy about it. I've only had the CPU for 3 years.Granted I don't have to move until 2025 (WIN10 EOL) if I want to retain my hardware that long.
Just irritated that I can't upgrade straight away.These requirements may not seem too strict, but having a look at the list of supported processors, you’ll notice that the 1st Gen AMD Ryzen CPUs aren’t supported, and the 2nd Gen Zen+ processors are a bare minimum on AMD’s end and the 8th Gen Kaby Lake-R is the least supported on Intel’s end. Keep in mind that although the OS will run on systems using older processors, it’s “not recommended”. Microsoft’s list of supported processors doesn’t make sense as there’s little to no difference between the 1st and 2nd Gen Ryzen processors. Similarly, the Kaby Lake-R (8th Gen Intel Core lineup) is essentially a rebranding of the 7th Gen offerings.

It's called planned obsolescence. It's not done for any technical reason whatsoever, so looking for what makes "sense" doesn't make sense.
This @Pete-S you're spot on. It's just about making more money. If the software is kept up to date security wise, why would anything ever need to be replaced/updated, but we all know that.
When's the release date for 11?

As far as I've heard, they are releasing both - Windows 11 and Windows 10 21H2.
