That does seem strange. The 7700k was released in 2017. The 8700k released later that same year.Wow, my 8700K is there but even the 7700K isn't supported? It's not that old.
As much as people bash Apple for it, us tech nerds always hear 'my mac is just so much faster!'... well yeah... they use (mostly) good parts in their systems. I hate hearing how great and premium macs are and how trash pc's are when they're comparing their $1200 macbook air to their $300 walmart laptop.Looks like they're pulling an Apple with these minimum requirements. Apple is still much worse in that all Intel Macs aren't getting 99% of the new features of the OS coming out later this year.
maybe Microsoft is / has been induced to "stimulate" new pc sales by not supporting 5+ year old cpu's on win 11?... it is rough on the support list.. I'm pretty sure some of the intel cpu's they are supporting are vulnerable to spectra /meltdown so that isn't it?? is it? In fact my acient 2013~ motherboard for my i7-4770k can be fitted with a TPM module sooooo??? seems it like a play to sell some pc's?
given how well win 10 runs on a i7-4770k from 2013~ it seems like someone has decided it is time to stimulate pc sales? in fairness apple has no problem leaving hardware behind on os upgrades (granted the architecture changes).

Fuck yeah! Now exit windows and fire up Falcon 3.0
This is explicitly false, and you know it. The Apple Silicon features are a handful of nice-but-not-important additions.Looks like they're pulling an Apple with these minimum requirements.

Because running programs on your phone is a painful experience. If I'm at home I am going to prefer running them on my PC if the option exists. Also, the Bluestacks experience is terrible. Being to run Android programs natively in Windows is definitely a boon.The fact that Win 11 supposedly will have built in Android App support is interesting, but it leaves me asking why? Other than for development purposes, why would anyone ever run an Android app on a PC?
Also, one wonders if Bluestacks will survive.
Is anybody still using 32-bit? Intel, AMD and NVIDIA dropped 32-bit support for their drivers a long time ago.Only real news here is that Microsoft is dropping 32-bit support.
the only thing that upsets me is the rounded corners, why?! to look like the "cool" kids? and im sure ill get used to them though.I'm curious how many tech geeks are legitimately upset by something in this announcement or if they just feel obligated.
Keep in mind this is Microsoft, the company that still tends to value legacy support above all else. It was likely terrified that some corporate users would drop Windows because they might have to upgrade a few 20-year-old servers.yeah, who runs 32bit os willingly?! the os is 64bit only but im sure you can still run 32bit apps.
Microsoft had better not follow Apple in the future and drop support for 32-bit programs. Apple users seemed fine with it, but if it happens to Windows that will be a whole other can of worms.yeah, who runs 32bit os willingly?! the os is 64bit only but im sure you can still run 32bit apps.

I already run Linux Mint on several PC I have at home, but the reason I avoided upgrading my main PC was for gaming. Main issue is that Wine sucks. Proton works good but Proton is exclusive to Steam. I'm already in no hurry to "upgrade" to Windows 11, but so far each update from Windows has a tendency to break something. As a Asus Xonar sound card user I'm having a difficult time keeping it from BSODing my system from resuming sleep unless a particular driver version. I can only imagine that Windows 11 could further break this to the point where I can't use my sound card. Linux doesn't have these problems. Hopefully by next year Wine could be in much better shape, but who knows?Maybe it will be good. Lots of people with aging gaming PCs can discover Linux for the first time...
2022, year of Linux desktop? You never know. There has never been a better time to switch.
That's not how things work out. Most of the new features from Windows 11 are irrelevant for most people and if the Windows 11 breaks things then people will go back to Windows 10. You want Windows 10 to become Windows XP because this is how you get XP 2.0?given how well win 10 runs on a i7-4770k from 2013~ it seems like someone has decided it is time to stimulate pc sales?
Apple doesn't but then again Apple did fall behind to #2 in computer sales this year, probably due to this reasoning. I can't imagine there being too many M1 users who are happy to know their ability to boot into Windows is not gone, and their compatibility with Windows applications has been reduced. If you're still using an Intel Mac then you get to lose out on cool features like... language support for Swedish.in fairness apple has no problem leaving hardware behind on os upgrades (granted the architecture changes)...
I wish most games don't use DX12, but unfortunately most new games are. I hoped they would use Vulkan but...This is a bad update. I've had AutoHDR since March on W10 Insider, and it works well, but it isn't Special K or anything; and it existed before W11, so its not a W11 feature. The DX12 api enhancements will be great.. until you realize DX12 is a buggy mess and it has to be implemented in each game, before you see any improvement. Many games arent even using DX12 anyways.
I saw this on Linus Tech Tips and I'm not happy about it. I intentionally never linked my Microsoft account to my Windows user account for this reason. I also probably forget the password since the last time I made a Windows account was for Xbox Live, which has been dead for a while.Forcing people to use the store is shit upgrade, since it basically is a data tracker sinkhole. I'd imagine less group policy controls will be effective, as they intend to force it down our throats.
Looks like Microsoft hasn't given up on the idea of Windows 8 being built for tablets. What's worse is that Linux Mint's Cinnamon UI is copying Windows 10, even the bad features. Nothing I can't undo but I like the idea of not having to sit there and change options to get the UI to work the way I want. Does anyone enjoy having taskbar buttons combined? First thing I do is disable that feature and remove Cortana from the taskbar.The start menu is a massive downgrade from W10. I don't care about rounded corners, but it just looks bad, and you can't even move it to the side/top anymore. Like what? Funny becasue the mac 'menu' doesn't look like hot garbage. It's reminiscent of a Cortana you can't disable. Removing tiles means we gotta find a new way to hack the start menu so it isn't candy-crush suggesting trash, and may actually help you open stuff. I don't want shit to "link together". I want privacy.
We must join Lord Gaben and move to Linux. They haven't given up on Steam OS just yet.But what choice do we have?
Me, I have an Asus T100 touchscreen laptop which we use sitting on the sofa as it is small and light and turns on as fast as a mobile phone. I'm sure there will be millions of non-techy users out there that still rock 32 bit devices. This forum is a tiny percentage of Windows users....Is anybody still using 32-bit?

? You can move the start menu to the side / top (well once you activate win 11?) just left click and drag where you wantThe start menu is a massive downgrade from W10. I don't care about rounded corners, but it just looks bad, and you can't even move it to the side/top anymore
which one? the x5-Z8500 atom chip is 64bit...Me, I have an Asus T100 touchscreen laptop which we use sitting on the sofa as it is small and light and turns on as fast as a mobile phone.

yes. it has 6 built in and you can get more from the store, a bunch.Does it have any theme support?
the taskbar cannot be moved at the moment but you can set the menu back to the left corner.? You can move the start menu to the side / top (well once you activate win 11?) just left click and drag where you want
Even the Bay Trail-based Intel Atom chips in the 2013 model are 64-bit. I think they just loaded it with 32-bit Windows since it only supports up to 4GB of RAM.which one? the x5-Z8500 atom chip is 64bit...
