News Microsoft updates Windows 11 24H2 requirements, CPU must support SSE4.2 or the OS will not boot

[35below0]

Since "Secure Boot, TPM support, and a Kaby Lake or newer CPU" already means SSE 4.2 is available, these are not 'new' requirements, just a more explicit description of a subset of the existing requirements. If you met the requirements before, you meet the 'new' requirements by default.
And since any CPU old enough to not feature SSE 4.2 would also be lacking support for TPMs (predating TPMs) or Secure Boot (predating UEFI), you would be well outside of the old requirements already, let alone the 'new' ones.

In addition, you wouldn't want to run Win 10 or 11 with a computer that old.

Still on 22H2 and "up to date". What happened to the 23H2?
Also second PC with Intel 10Gen CPU and Asus H410M MoBo with latest bios 2803 both "supposed" to support Win11 but "no TPM" error.
Oh, Microsoft and Windows 11...

Microsoft decides when to offer the update. They still didn't offer it to everyone eligible.

Windows 7 still gets daily automatic definition updates for Microsoft Security Essentials today, and I expect the same will be true for its successor Windows Defender for a long time.

I did like Win 7 a lot, and still have an offline PC running it. But sticking to Win 7 today on modern hardware is insanity.

No matter which version of Windows you use or like, you will have to learn to like eating an occasionaly tasty sandwich. Use the best version, and for better or worse taht is 11 today, unless your PC can't install it in which case you're lumbered with 10.

Here we go again. Linux cheerleaders with their abstract thought processes who detest simplicity in favour of complexity are promoting Linux.

I know many who were too gullible, trusting, naive, and manipulated by the tinkerer "next door" type or swayed in online forums to switch to Linux. Each regretted the decision. Instead they borrowed or saved to buy a new Windows PC or chose the tablet root.

The bottom line is most people don't use Firefox and are not wired in the same way as Linux enthusiasts.

Linux has tons of problems of it's own, but it also has advantages over Windows. Fanatical tribalists are the problem, not someone suggesting Linux as a secure alternative to unsecure or hacky Windows installs.

What the hell has Firefox got to do with it?

I know, but you don't have to wait if you don't want to. Its your choice to risk it.
