Same thing here. My system, although a few years old, runs smoking fast with tons of RAM and memory (Gigabyte GA-78MT, AMD 8core processor, 24GB RAM, 2 500GB 7200RPM HD's). The one thing I am a bit light on is my video card. I'm wondering if this is why MicroShaft is telling me my system won't handle Windows 11. Been meaning to upgrade to an 8GB video card but right now the prices are insane!

No way am I going to go out and buy a new computer just to conform to Windows 11's "requirements". I'll fully go to Linux Ubuntu before I do that. I might do that anyway since I've retired and only need Windows for two or three programs. I already run Ubuntu on my shop laptop and it does everything I need and it's FREE plus no stinking automatic updates which always seem to occur just when I want to do some quick computing. Yeah, yeah, I know I can turn the Auto-updates off or set the time/day to apply them. I can always use a VM program to run those Windows programs if I really need to.
