Them: Hey you wanna upgrade that PC to the latest cool stuff. We promise it's backwards compatible with older software like Windows 7!
Me: Run Windows 7 ultra fast on modern hardware? Kool! OK, I will upgrade!
Them: Hey you wanna upgrade that PC you been using for years on Windows 7 to the latest and greatest Windows 11?
Me: Get the fook away from me... The hell NO!!
Honestly, you are right.
It was a big DICK move from Intel/Microsoft and even AMD to lock you onto Windows 10 years before Windows 7 reached EOL. Not even 8.1 was supported (which could have been a middle ground solution) on their new CPU releases.
Intel gains nothing from doing this favor to Microsoft, and the worst part was that this all happened during the dreaded Skylake+++ days.
