    Well I'm not saying they're lying, but the truth is out there and I am running Windows 11 on an i5-2540 bought 2012 , no problems. I don't care Ms don't support it. I do and there others on here who would help if I need it. All it's cost me is my time, 60 quid for an SATA SSD, and a quick clean from time to time. Of course this enormous corporation says I should bin it, can't be trusted, etc but hey when they try to stop it working I shall fire up the partition with Fedora on it and run W11 under a Virtual machine, I might even try W12 when it comes out.

    Who would have thought a company that has a vested interest in someone buy a new windows computer, wants people to buy a new computer🤔
    That person would have to also be ignorant to the fact MS does sell copies of Win 11 that can run on Win 10 machines
