[SOLVED] MY ASUS Mobo has TPM 2.0, but the AMD CPU in the socket isn't supported by the new Win11 spec. I can't figure out why, it's a Ryzen7 1700.

My 64-bit CPU runs at 3.8 Gig and has sixteen threads on eight cores. Why does Microsoft insist I upgrade it? I can't really afford to do that right now...

Because MS chose to stop support at the 2000 series CPUs. -- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors

Yeah... I wonder if they're in cahoots with AMD to drive up cpu sales? MS always had good backwards compatibility... maybe I'll just stick with Windows 10.
