You seem to fail to notice (or failed to comment) on the fact that a number of users with slightly out of window processors installed the update and had no issues. This would seem to confirm (thanks to MS) that the MS system requirements for Windows 11 are the BS most of us assume they are.

Hardware requirements have always been pretty BS anyways. Someone got Windows 10 running on a Pentium 4. There's someone out there who got a core version of Ubuntu running on an 8-bit microcontroller. People got Doom 3 to run on a Voodoo 2.

It's more about what hardware the company wants to deal with when you ask for support. Just because Windows 10 can run on a Pentium 4 doesn't mean Microsoft will want to support someone using a system that the hardware manufacturer dropped support for.

"Just because you can does not mean you should" has always been around, even outside of the tech world. I even use it in our pest control business that we own.

MS should consider Core 1st gen CPUs as the minimum Windows 11 requirement. Even Core 2 Quad with GT 1030 can run Win10 kind of ok.
