Weird coincidence, I just had to replace my Haswell Xeon because of motherboard drath (and while the chip is probably still good, I’m not about to go mobo hunting for a 10yo mobo).
Biggest irony, now that I can install 11, I’m using the opportunity to just install Linux.

The stuff microsoft is making mandatory for windows 11 is good stuff. You can’t enable core isolation on hardware that’s not compatible with windows 11
Any PC running hardware that’s too old to have the features you need for 11 would need to be replaced soon anyway
Yet MS lets you run 11 in a VM on a PC that it says can’t run 11 if you try and install it to bare metal. So I have 11 running in a VM on a Windows 10 PC.
And no, it doesn’t necessarily need to be replaced soon. My Xeon is faster and more capable than the N4500 PC I bought as a raspberry pi replacement. Yet it came with Win11 and MS doesn’t complain.

any computer still using hardware that’s not compatible with windows 11 will need to be replaced soon anyway
I use a Haswell Xeon server as my desktop. It’s not only fast enough for 10 but I run 10 with Linux VM’s.
It could run 11 but MS won’t let me.

Why is that ?
My computer is not compatible with windows 11, but is still running factorio perfectly fine.
