[Framers] Windows 11 compatibility?

[Lin Sims]

Good thing, too. They've locked the taskbar to the bottom of the screen
with no option to move it, which makes me very annoyed as I like it on the
right. I have no plans to upgrade until they either put it back or someone
comes up with an app to reorganize the screen the way _I_ want it to be.

I know my processor has TPM, but it's a slightly older Intel (i7 something
or other). Right now Microspend is saying that you need at least an i8, but
I have hopes this just means they haven't tested it on an i7 and that will
still work. I only bought this machine 3 years ago, and I plan for it to
last me for at least another 3. More if I'm lucky.
