Intel/AMD Model N is affected and therefore banned for use with Windows 11. As per your assertion (that I agree with, btw) Intel/AMD Model N+1 is affected (just slightly less so) and can be used with Windows 11. So, either this is fixable, then it's on Intel/AMD to replace defective hardware (or offer a fix that is worth unlocking Windows 11 over, e.g. through microcode) or it's not fixable in which case, why prevent the older chips from running Windows 11 if they're in exactly the same situation? Either way, Microsoft's decision seems arbitrary, and puts the onus on their customers instead of the culprits, the chip vendors, who even get rewarded by encouraging new sales!
