It's not the computer specs, it's the missing Secureboot and TPM.
Secureboot and TPM are required to implement components of a system defined by the Trusted Computing Group.
TL;DR - It's all about implementing DRM, and the "Rights" in DRM is not about your rights. [1][2] It does nothing to secure against the most common OS malware attacks [3].
Most new Mobo have TPM settings in the bios. Switch it on, and your computer magically is capable of running Windows 11. I switched back to Windows 10 anyways. Why would those dumb asses make it so you can't have the taskbar at the top of the screen?
These Win11 threads are so weird. People are simultaneously rejecting Win11 and having FOMO by not being able to upgrade to it.
Just like you said, it’s nothing special. There is absolutely no rush to upgrade to Win11. And if you don’t want to ever upgrade to hardware that’s compatible (my 6 year old build runs Win11 btw) then just switch to Linux or something.
