[Framers] Windows 11 compatibility?

[A Craig]

We bought our new computers just before the Win 11 specs came out, and despite being excellent computers, they don't have the required built-in security "stuff" to qualify for Win 11. Maybe we'll see some firmware updates to help us along. I'd even pay a small fee for that (less than $50). 

And I agree that MS needs to stop telling me how I want to use my computer, because most of the time they are wrong .

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.
