Windows 11 General Discussion

[80-watt Hamster]

Back to you

Read, learn.

Comprehend, listen, check, read, learn. It was not myself who found this change. As mentioned earlier - I checked it myself - before.



Will you say: I'm sorry or I'm wrong or will you ignore this post? I'm sure you will find something to nit pick instead.

Just for you I searched one of those pages.

Windows processor requirements Windows 11, version 24H2 supported Intel processors

This specification details the Intel processors that can be used with Windows 11, version 24H2 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.

learn.microsoft.com

Just for you: Is the 8550u processor in that list?

Or is that i7-8550u processor only in that list?

OneMoar already highlighted the important clarification you seem to be missing: existing, in-place installations of Windows 11 are not affected by this change. This restriction applies to system manufacturers only, and specifies that Microsoft will not provide licenses or software support for new devices with processors outside these lists. Previously-built and -sold systems are not affected, nor are (I believe) retail license installations.

From your link (emphasis mine):

If you're correct and the rest of us are wrong, Microsoft has done an extremely poor job of communicating their intent.

Looks like we've got some clarifications in the thread, which is good. the personal swipes are not. Don't do it, thanks!

Well, It wouldn’t be the first time for MS to poorly communicate something, then clarify, then clarify the clarify, only later to walk it back.

10 might be faster, but I still like 11 better.

version / edition?

version / edition?

Windows 11 is a meme at this point. Tell me one, just one reason to use Windows 11 24h2 besides auto-hdr.

Constant and many terrible updates that break stuff, sluggish OS in general, adding new features and not testing properly etc.

Just use Windows 10 22h2 until Oct. 2025 and maybe... maybe downgrade to Windows 11 after.

Then use Windows 10 LTSC until 2032 and quit your bemoaning here.

It's one thing to discuss a problem or talk about a feature. It's another to whine and complain without purpose.
