>> Is this definitive?  NO.  there are other requirements that must be met, but this is the easy one to find and now, in my case, forget about WIN11.
>>
>> Is this a blessing?  If you absolutely HATE having to re learn where MS put all the gadgets you have used daily for the past 5 years, and detest having to figure out where they put your opening page so you can find some program, then YES, this is a blessing.

>> If you are MR. IT Corporate America ( or World),  and you have not recently replaced the immense amount of computer items in your company, this is a blessing from THE WOMAN himself.
>>
>> What are the ramifications of not being able to migrate to WIN11?  Some day, some piece of SW, or worse, a piece of Hardware, right after it is automatically upgraded, will suddenly not run. THEN it IS time to trash your old computer and buy a new model.
>>
>> When will this happen?  When you are on a project with a completion date is coming up and you are up to your eyeballs in problems anyway......ie, the MOST inconvenient time.

>> Expect Adobe to be the first to give us all a problem!

>> I found that my Dell Laptop is not Win11 compatible. The processor was the reported problem.
>> Here is the most likely reason
>> The CPU requirement may be more or less of a problem than it initially seems. Microsoft has a relatively short list of supported CPUs from three major manufacturers (AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm) that generally goes back to Ryzen 2500 or Intel 8th generation Core—no farther.
>> My processor is 5th generation.
