I'm not sure if you are overthinking, by trying to equate a 386 with a top of the line only a few years old.

Or if you under-thought, buy not going back to a 286, or an XT, or a mainframe.

Or that you are in lala land by not including Macs on a Power PC chip.

My point was, where do you draw the line? Any answer is equally arbitrary. MS drew it at 8th Gen Intel Core. Would 6th Gen have been the right answer? 3rd? Core 2 Duo? All of them can run Win 10 just fine, and can (at least technically, and for today) run Win11.
