There are plenty of unsupported CPUs that also support the AI requirements. Basically anything with an AMD Phenom or an Intel Core i5/7 first gen or newer supports these.
Yes, it’s unsupported for other reasons. But if you bypass that requirement you won’t get these warnings about the AI requirements, assuming you have 16GB of RAM.
This whole overbearing patronizing shit is what pushed me away completely from Windows, that and the privacy concerns. It just became too much of a hassle & chore to actually use and constantly “fix” shit that I never asked for, to the point where even the bits of Linux tinkering aren’t as much of a problem in comparison. And thanks to Valve pretty much all games that I care for run without a hassle, or just very little tinkering. I haven’t really found my favored distro yet after hopping for a while, but it’s easy enough to switch anyway thanks to the Home folder containing pretty much the majority of what’s important for backups.
I’ve been trying to move to Linux for about 20 years, but gaming issues always sent me back to Windows.
I tried again after hearing about how proton and steamdeck have made it so much easier for most games and it’s true. Been exclusively on Linux on my gaming rig since about September. The only one I couldn’t get working was oddly a little simple indie game, it lagged badly while stuff like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk ran fine.
Microsoft is pushing this at a very bad time, because you CAN game on Linux now.
Yeah they’re following the IBM playbook of being the operating system that businesses run.
I just wish they would take a hint and release a paid version that has none of the ads, none of the bloatware, and none of the bullshit.
I feel confident that I could pay them just as much money as they would ever earn from mining my data and annoying the ever-loving fuck out of me and I would be happier about that.
But since they won’t do that fortunately there’s things like Atlas OS.
Linux is actually becoming easier to deal with than Windows in many cases. Microsoft has removed so many settings from the GUI that editing of the Registry has become required even for simple things. That’s much less user friendly IMO than backing up and editing a text .conf file.
lol they also (in 10 at least; I have no intention of touching 11) have like 20 years of incoherent and unconnected menus for different settings, and you just have to know where they are to get to them.
According to the article they are doing this to further discourage people from bypassing the hardware restrictions for installing Windows 11.
Don’t worry Microsoft. I am fully deterred from ever installing Windows 11 on any of my current or future computers already.

I have a 3rd gen i7 that isn’t “allowed” to run Windows 11.
Yes, it’s unsupported for other reasons. But if you bypass that requirement you won’t get these warnings about the AI requirements, assuming you have 16GB of RAM.
They’ve never not acted like that

What about with NVIDIA hardware?
Yep they saw what we did with TPM UEFI changes
