It's cool how Microsoft's engineers are too lazy to do anything AMD related. Seems like a very good reason to explore other operating systems like Chrome OS, macOS and Linux. At launch Win11 punished AMD CPUs. Yet had little problems with Intel's completely new big.LITTLE style implementation.

Amazon appstore is s***. Some popular apps that actually matter haven't been updated in ages.
You're better off installing bluestacks which would work even if you have a sandybridge and windows 7....

There is a MUCH bigger limitation - Amazon Appstore from the Microsoft Store works ONLY in the US. The rest of the world gets the finger, no matter what CPU you have.

Zen+ doesn't support MBEC (Mode Based Execution Control), which should impact their performance in virtualisation, still I'm curious to see whether it's an actual block or just yet more nonsense like Win11's specs. (I have a 2600x and I'm conflicted on upgrading).

Personally I won't upgrade until I see any feature that is really worth it or necessary. For now... W10 it is. Hopefully W11 errors get ironed out by the time I'm ready (probably a couple years or three from now).

Microsoft has listed the Amazon Appstore requirements for running Android apps on Windows 11 and AMD Ryzen 2000 CPUs didn't make the cut. Minimum CPU requirements for Amazon Appstore include an 8th gen Intel Core i3 or above and AMD Ryzen 3000 chips or above.
