I can't figure out why my PC doesn't meet the requirements

There’s people who already commented how to avoid the update by changing to ltsc or just not doing it. But how will you get security updates?

There’s a company called 0patch that makes em. They don’t even need a restart to apply like the ms ones do. It’s ~$25 a year.

The alternative is to switch to a mac, which isn’t a bad choice tbh once you can tank the buy-in.

I still use windows 7 in my PC. Why does anybody care about support or updates? If anything those are annoying, it's better if they are gone.

The real problem is dx12 support. Because it's hard to run proton in 7. That's why I'm dual booting Linux.

isn't this still extremely early?

I wouldn't say 10 years is too small of a support window, personally

While I left Windows a long time ago- I'm using Win 11 for work.

Once you get past the ad placement in the start menu, and HW barriers to installation it really isn't that bad. I've had fewer overall crashes than Win 10 so far, and compatibility has been OK.

In principal the advertising and the spying etc is really infuriating, but hey, that's where everything is headed anyway.
