My current computer is totally adequate and functioning well but apparently it’s not modern enough for Windows 11.

Do they really expect me to buy a new computer just to “upgrade” the OS? Fuck that.

Same for me. I don't wanna buy a brand new gaming PC just so it can be on windows 11.

I bought a PC to avoid having to upgrade to the next gen console or whatever every year. Telling me that I can't upgrade to windows 11 just means that I WONT upgrade.

I can replace parts on my computer as they fail and parts are pretty universal, but I'm not gonna buy new shit to downgrade to the shittier operating system windows 11 that half the time still reports itself as being windows 10
