Are there any real, technical reasons why Windows 11 can't be installed on older hardware?

    I built my current PC in 2019. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. Windows 11 installs just fine.

    Windows 11 is crap, but that is an entirely different subject. Despite what Microsoft says "officially", Windows 11 will install on just about any computer that is even remotely decent.

    the main issue would be incompatibility driver issues in like a 10-15 year old machine
