 My observations… so far…. The tool that Microsoft supplies, to determine if your computer is Windows 11 compatible, is "suspicious". Why? In the past, the tool indicated some of my computers did not qualify but the list of "processors" did indicate my computers would work. Hmmm? Inconsistent. Today, one of my machines indicated it would not work but it met all of the "Microsoft stated requirements". Hmmm??? There is inconsistency in the tool or the statement of requirements.
