shouldnt run imo is wrong. a PC from 2006 is more then capable of running windows 11 without issue. maiby need a bit of a ram upgrade but for some light work is fine. getting all the latest security updates is also a good thing with windows. the choice should be made by the end user if their device is powerful enough to run win11.
Imo it shouldnt run w11, but imo they shouldnt have stuck a eol date on windows 10 either which could have kept those systems alive.
You know -> new systems = w11, old systems = w10, both get security updates, but win11 gets feature updates as well.
They can manage both just fine, yet here we are -_-
Also, w10 runs like sheit on older systems. Had to dig on ebay to keep my mom's pc ( core2duo e7300 ) alive and kicking as 4GB of ram was not enough. It was swapping like mad... Windows 7 was the last good windows... -_-
