@wesdym I think you are probably spot on. They sure are pushing it. Hopefully, AI isn't going to be the next dot com bust, because a lot of companies are pouring ungodly amounts of money into it.

@FynnND @a_lex_ander @iFixit 25h2 is supposed to be a free upgrade. You can download the OEM version of 25h2 now.

@wesdym I agree about Linux. But some hardware that MS claims ain't compatible is perfectly capable of running Win11. I tend to dual boot in hopes of getting the best of both worlds.

@a_lex_ander @iFixit Fairly obviously it would be so you can use Win11. If you want to wait for Microsoft to decide your hardware is compatible, feel free to wait. I just provided a workaround. That's what I thought your were asking for. Feel free to do without, or wait on the largesse of MS.

@a_lex_ander @iFixit I don't have the same issue, but this is "A" suggestion on how to bypass that restriction: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/windows11/how-to-fix-or-bypass-this-pc-cant-run-windows-11-from-bootable-usb-disk/4041827
