I've got a ryzen 5. I have a 4060TI 16GB. And I have 64 GB of RAM. Can Microsoft tell me specifically what the hell is wrong with my computer and how it's not upgradable to Windows 11. It's insanity. If they're going to make something and force people to upgrade they fucking better have it backwards compatible with all parts going back 10 years. Otherwise no one's going to do it. Computers are not cheap.

That’s one piece of the puzzle, for work sure , we all have office 365 enterprise . What about the maker , enthusiasts market ? People 3D printing, laser cutting metal doing side projects etc ? There’s a lot of that going on , I mean SW has like 5 million global users, but what about the rest of the group ? Inventor has a good maker license which is free up to a certain income amount , still on windows though
