I think the end of support in 2025 comes too soon. There will likely be just four years of overlap—2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. When compared to XP, which was much easier to exploit, Windows 10 deserves more time supporting it because it focuses heavily on security. I suspect Microsoft is accelerating the release of new versions, much like Apple does with its yearly operating system updates. They’ve already adapted the Dock from OS X into Win11.
Alongside socket 2011/3, most Socket 2066 models aren't officially supported by Windows 11. (7xxx and 9xxx variants like Skylake and Skylake refresh). Only the Cascade Lake CPUs (10xxx series) can run Windows 11 with TPM and other limitations. This is frustrating because, for example, the 9980xe was discontinued early in 2020 while the 10980xe launched at the end of 2019. In short, even CPUs released over a year ago may not work due to various unknown reasons. We're not focusing on budget options here.
I've never understood why 3-year-old CPUs don't work with an operating system.
You're asking about compatibility issues with your hardware setup. The adapter you're using supports E5-1620V4 EEC and runs on Windows 11 Pro 64-bit for two months now, with no problems. You're curious if it will work in Windows 11 and wondering why it might not. You also want to know what proof there is showing the E5 V4 CPU works in Windows 11. Let me know if you'd like help gathering more details or evidence. Good luck!
I'm using an Intel Core i7 6850k on an ASUS x99 Deluxe II board with a TPM-M R2.0 module and Secure Boot turned on. I'm running Windows 11 Pro Build 22000.282 and receive regular updates, though I have no idea how long they'll continue. A clean installation from a USB stick worked perfectly without any registry changes or hacks—just a standard setup. My CPU isn't supported due to its 6th generation design, but the rest meets Microsoft's minimum requirements. Good luck!
