I didn't know that, probably wasn't using Windows at the time so I didn't care.
To be fair, this only affects rather old CPUs too, on the other hand, my dual pre-Nehalem Xeon workstation still looks more than capable to me :marseyemojismilemoutheyes:
But not enough for Windows 11 now — not that I wanted it anyway.
Still, I think that at that time people were mostly upgrading their hardware willingly, they no longer do that now. Anything that's less than a decade old (and in certain much older) does the job just fine, so they have to impose requirements for new hardware artificially. Last year they have already done it to Windows 11 on ARM, which made their own old Lumias obsolete — yep, it was possible to use desktop Windows 11 on a phone before that update :marseylaughwith:
