An i-7 won’t run windows 11? What are theynup,to,they up to now? I-9? 10? Been awhile,since I even looked at a computer specs. But it surprises me that an i-7 can’t run windows 11.
Mostly it is the TPM module that is proving to be the sticking point. I have a couple of Dell Latitudes that are still in warranty but fail the hardware test.
Curious and persistent, I was able to create a VM clone running Win-11 on that very same machine ;’}
Only M$,the owner of the Windows OS that you pay to use under license, knows and decides. If not for Classic Shell that makes it seem like Windows 7 and a few Winows-only appsI would have gone to Linux completely.
