Weird coincidence, I just had to replace my Haswell Xeon because of motherboard drath (and while the chip is probably still good, I’m not about to go mobo hunting for a 10yo mobo).
Biggest irony, now that I can install 11, I’m using the opportunity to just install Linux.
any computer still using hardware that’s not compatible with windows 11 will need to be replaced soon anyway
I use a Haswell Xeon server as my desktop. It’s not only fast enough for 10 but I run 10 with Linux VM’s.
It could run 11 but MS won’t let me.
