I'm still on Windows 10. Are the complaints people have over windows 11 overblown or valid?
The big one that really bothers me is that soooo many perfectly good computers cannot run it. Their hardware restrictions are absurd. My desktop has an i9-9820X, which was released at the end of 2018, and I'm not able to upgrade. I have 4 computers that all run great and run Windows and only one of them is able to upgrade. Windows 11 will likely result in a lot of e-waste (and a lot of people switching to Linux, myself included).
I don't really care too much about the other differences, Windows 11 is just like Windows 10 except they moved a bunch of stuff around. It could have all just been an update to 10.
Have you turned TPM on in the BIOS? Only new processors have it on by default. The 9820X should support it (and therefore Windows 11), you just have to enable it.
