the cpu gen lock will be taken away—it's one of the most common complaints on the insider forum, along with removing the TPM 2.0 lock. They seem to be focusing on their own solutions right now.
It’s really the only good thing here is that management appears to prioritize speed over substance. Right now, amid the worldwide tech shortage, this attempt feels like a desperate move. You’ll find plenty of comments online showing people who gave up waiting at least four years for Windows 10 with all security updates and fixes. Most seem eager to jump on the latest release no matter how flawed it might be.
Given the financial strain caused by Corona and the overall state of the IT sector, this timing seems particularly risky. Back in about two years ago, they might have had a better shot, but now it looks like a losing battle. Although Microsoft has always been stubborn, it probably won’t pull back completely until around a year before that. Instead, they’ll likely stick with Windows 11 or roll out a new version with more hardware support, even if they don’t patch it. Looking at their history, when things went wrong they usually abandon the OS and shift marketing to a newer platform—similar to what happened with Vista and Windows 8.
You installed Windows 11 on two i5-4570 processors but encountered a CPU not supported error when trying to install on an i5-4590. Neither model appears in the supported list. From what you've learned, Windows 11 typically requires TPM 2.0 only during upgrades, not for clean installs. The 4570s were from Dell and Lenovo, while the 4590 was a custom build with an MSI motherboard.
It's feasible to set up Windows 11 on many different systems using various workarounds. I've already tried it on around eight distinct machines, including one with a Duo Core without any issues. You can also install it inside a virtual machine if you prefer to experiment without affecting your primary device. All these setups were based on an activated Windows 10 version. A fresh installation doesn't ensure compatibility with unsupported hardware unless you make a custom bootable USB, which I haven't done since a Windows 11 license would be needed.
