Anyone have a current PC that is qualified for Windows 11?
I've check all mine and NONE are compatible
Replacing a laptop is one thing, but replacing a workstation is a $5000+ matter
I haven't seen any features in W11 that would be worth the cost.
It's kinda making me seriously consider switching to Mac for a laptop.
I considered a new Mac Pro for a new workstation, but they are using Intel Xeon chips - so a new HP Z series would be cheaper for the same or better components. The Z's are built beautifully. And I just like Windows.
You can check if your PC is Windows 11 compatible here

Scroll to the bottom and download the PC Health app.
Supposedly, you MAY still be able to install Windows 11 on non-supported systems, but nobody knows for sure right now.
Every system I have checked said the CPU was not supported and can't run Windows 11. That even includes a couple Surface PC's
That's REALLY gonna kill re-sale value on my $2000+ current workstation.
Sure, it's probably time for an upgrade, but the systems runs fine, no problems in Pro Tools or any DAW, and editing 4K footage is pretty smooth.
But it's never fun to have to eat a couple thousand and drop another 5K to stay up to date.
