Official support means, if you raise a bug that "my 8th gen Intel can't play Solitaire",
the support people at Microsoft can ignore you.
Whereas, instead of that extreme example, you're just using the thing at
home, your browser still runs, you're totally unaware of any such statements.
The only thing that won't run for sure right now, is if you boot
W11 24H2 on an E8400 Core2Duo, it's going to *crash* because it
does not have a SSE4.2 POPCNT instruction. There is nothing on
Rufus to help bypass the requirement. The MSFT installer checks whether
POPCNT support is present. That's an example of an "absolute prohibition".
I can tell people with confidence, that trying to install W11 on their
Optiplex 780, that's going to be blocked no matter what. Just as easily
as an attempt to install on a P4 or on an AthlonXP 3200 is going to be blocked
for multiple reasons.
But as for "relative statements", such as "I don't like the smell of your aftershave",
my answer to such a proclamation is "fuck you and the barge you sailed in on".
Statements like the above, mean nothing to me.
