 @​ ahem :nigganerd: for a more technical explanation (to the best of my knowledge) windows 11 needs a CPU with SSE4.1 which none of the 32bit CPUs support so it will refuse to boot at all

 @loopy pedestrian✍🏿 Unless they upped the requirements in some subsequent update, the first release of 11 ran just fine on the same hardware as 10 and 8.1, needing only NX, SSE2 and some other instruction that I think every x86_64 processor supports anyway.

 @loopy pedestrian✍🏿 Official docs also say you need TPM 2.0 and some very recent-ish hardware from the list that doesn't even include first gen Ryzens.

 @​ A fTPM implementation is required for future digital handcuffing plans, although they haven't yet implemented that part of the proprietary plan yet, so the handcuffing machine check can be patched out for now.

Why on earth would you be used by windows instead of installing GNU/Linux-libre anyway?
