I think wait and see. That kind of CPU req published now sorta makes sense for OEMs, but for computers to upgrade, just WTF. Does MS really want a split install base to mostly Win 10 machines and a just a few 11? And BTW there is this "little" shortage and high demand that is supposed to continue for years; and Skylake or even before are (lets say at least for core ones: more than) perfectly capable of running Win 11.

So a hard cut-off at Intel 8th gen and Ryzen 2nd gen really makes no strategic sense whatsoever. I have no doubt MS employs plenty of clueless people, but maybe not going that far to insanity-land.

I mean I was starting to consider switching to a Mac, undecided still, but if MS persist this will really be a no-brainer.

Strange given that Ryzen 2000 is just a die shrink.
