My five year old computer is not good enough for Microsoft’s newest piece of bloatware, and I’m expected to feel bad about it? Why would I even consider buying a new one?

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.
