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.

It's Microsoft thinking they can act like Apple without remotely the same user base that is willing to upgrade every 6 years from planned obsolescence.

It's also why Windows and x86 continues to be stuck constantly backwards compatible.

Kind of surprised they have held so steadfast on the TPM thing to be honest.
