Oh, did I mention I have a Ryzen based laptop that runs Ryzen 5 2500U. Sure it has less cores than that Ryzen, but it was also launched in 2017 and it was hugely popular and still is because of higher clocks and was super popular among gamers. If you have Core i7 7700k, well, fuck you too says Microsoft. Oh and if you’re Intel fan, don’t be cheering just yet… They sacked Skylake support entirely. A very much modern 8 core, 16 threads CPU from 2017. Per official Microsoft’s minimum requirements, if you have Ryzen 7 1800X, you won’t be able to use Windows 11. And believe me, I’ve seen some dumb shit in the past, including from yours truly, the Microsoft itself.
I don’t know what the fuck Microsoft is thinking, but I’ve never seen something this retarded as minimum Windows 11 requirements.
