Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs

I do use Windows for a lot of specific programs, but this behavior is really pushing me to Linux and to find alternatives to the software I use.

It’s not working because W11 is using a CPU instruction that doesn’t exist in older processors.
And by older, I don’t mean Pre-Zen or Intel 5XXX… I mean OG AMD Athlon and Intel Core 2 Duo. If you’re trying to run on a CPU from 2008, that’s on you. These were never supported - hence the title.
The only reason this was discovered was because some YTers make videos of running W10/11 on super old computers.
