Currently, no.Does i5 7600k compatible for Windows 11?

This. I'd be VERY surprised if the list of compatible hardware was not GREATLY expanded by the time the actual release of the OS comes around.
Right. But no way that would happen automatically without user intervention and implementation of the work around. It wouldn't just "happen" through Windows update. Not even if it was a brand new system.Unofficially, the insider build got hacked to work even on Core2Duo, which seems to indicate that the TPM2 and other stuff "requirement" is entirely arbitrary and subject to change.
I've been in the Insider thing since it was a thing for the Win 10 rollout.I have a 7600k and turned my computer on this morning to find windows 11 installed. I signed up for insider builds at some point, I completely forgot about it.
Windows automatic updates 🙄
My mother "auto-magically" upgraded to Windows 8 during M$'s intensive nagging campaign and I ended up having to spend a couple of hours downgrading it back to Win 7 because her old laptop (Athlon E200 or something along that line) simply couldn't take it. Forced or nagging upgrade prompts are retarded.I've never ever had or seen a system automagically update itself like that with no user intervention.
OK, yeah. That one was a bit intrusive.My mother "auto-magically" upgraded to Windows 8 during M$'s intensive nagging campaign and I ended up having to spend a couple of hours downgrading it back to Win 7 because her old laptop (Athlon E200 or something along that line) simply couldn't take it.

And Windows XP's drawn-out demise should have taught Microsoft that a whole lot of people and companies aren't going to give up their legacy PCs/OS without a fight until several years beyond unsupported status. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.It's in their interest to get older hardware out of mainstream usage as quickly as possible.
But, its not just the OS.Seriously, considering they are a TRILLION dollar company, it certainly wouldn't kill them to create a couple of small teams specifically intended for supporting the older operating systems to the extent that it is possible so that people who refuse to upgrade will at least at moderately secure systems so that they don't become such vulnerabilities to everybody else in the process. At least for security updates and such. And I mean consumers as well as corporate entities. But that will never ever happen, so.............
Sure it could, TCP/IP hasn't changed much if at all in the last 20 years and tons of people are still on IPv4-only. The main two main problems with getting YT to work on very old hardware and OS being browser support and the computer just being plain too slow for modern CODECs except maybe at the lowest resolution. h264/720p was dodgy on my P4 and h265 has much higher processing requirements. You'd definitely need to drop to 480p, maybe even 360p.Can the current backend of YouTube/Instagram speak to an ancient OS?
Not really.

If you had drivers when installing W11, you can keep using those drivers even after driver support has been discontinued, just like everyone else running OSes long after OS support has been discontinued - the entire PC is out of driver, hardware and OS support at that point and they still work fine. I can still use my 20 years old flatbed scanner on my 16 years old P4 running XP despite Epson having dropped support for it ~12 years ago.You haven't seen anything, yet. Just wait until your older video card, printer, wi-fi card, or other device stops working with Windows 11, because nobody can be bothered to update the drivers anymore.
