This is such a nothing-burger. You shouldn't be using a < 2007 PC with Windows 11, for a variety of reasons varying from performance to driver support. And frankly, I cannot imagine there are many cases where this is happening. Old PCs? Sure. Plenty of those. But those are still running XP or 7.

But those are still running XP or 7. Win 7 : "Peak Windows" Win XP: "Second best Windows" It's been all downhill since 7.

  2000: Peak Windows XP: Win2K, but with Fisher Price interface and online activation Vista: never used it, but most people seem to agree it's terrible 7: better than Vista, or PCs just got faster in the meantime? Still doesn't feel as good as older versions 8+: mobile-first, war on general purpose computing, telemetry, forced updates, ads in the Start Menu etc.

Agreed, title made me think they nuked all unsupported CPUs completely. Imagine if XP was expected to run (poorly) on systems from 1984 or 7 on systems from 1992. I think of the latter I remember someone getting it to run on a Pentium II 266 so about ~10 years prior to release, don't think you could push it any earlier out of the box due to compatibility.
