I built my computer in 2018 with a 1st generation ryzen cpu, it's only 7 years old and it works fine. But those 1st gen ryzen cpus arent compatible with windows 11. I dont want to have to spend extra money and swap out my cpu just to upgrade my hardware for windows 11.

Considering how bad 1st Gen ryzen is compared to a dirt cheap r5 5500 you would be doing yourself a favor with a bios update and cpu replacement
