Millions of PCs could be dumped well before they need to be because of Microsoft. I have a four year old high quality PC that I built myself for making music on, but I won't be able to install Windows 11 on it. My Asus motherboard will also need a new driver too, and Asus don't make one. When installing Windows 10 a few years back, my Roland Midi controller needed a new driver to work with it, but Roland did not make one. Fortunately, a guy on YouTube showed you how to alter the driver, which was to change one number to a 10 and to alter one letter. It only took a few minutes, so Roland could have easily made a new driver for the midi controller.Microsoft has drawn an arbitrary line and declared that PCs and laptops with processors from only a few years ago (even 2018) won't work with

Microsoft has drawn an arbitrary line and declared that PCs and laptops with processors from only a few years ago (even 2018) won't work with Windows 11. This is crazy and Microsoft should be ashamed of itself.
Windows 11 won't support Intel Core chips like the i3, i5, i7, etc that are older than the 8th generation or AMD Ryzen 3/5/7 processors before the 3xxx series. The Ryzen 3 3xxx only came out in 2019!
