  6. I have a NUC7i3 from Intel. It has a Core i3-7100U CPU, 2-cores, 4-threads, TPM2.0, plenty of ram. Everything Windows 11 needs to run, but it can't run Windows 11 because Microsoft arbitrarily chose Intel Gen 8 as the minimum cutoff for Windows 11, so a perfectly capable machine is essentially useless after October 2025 when the windows updates stop coming. Which is fine, I'll just delete Windows and expand my Linux installation. #ForcedObsolescence #PlannedObsolescence
