Terrified, more like it.

Looks like hardware needs to be close to new to run W11. The current top of the line Dell single socket workstation I bought 2 years ago is not on the list of acceptable CPUs. Upgrade would cost a few hundred $$$.

Windows 11 requires a 1 GHz or faster CPU with 2 or more CPU cores on a 64-bit processor; 4GB of RAM; a 64GB or larger storage device; system firmware that supports UEFI and secure boot; Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0; DirectX 12 compatible graphics; a display greater than 9-inches with a resolution of at least 720p ...

This is what it says it requires. Maybe you’re mistaken but any relevant CPU would handle this with ease

I read that and mine meet that requirement, but the list of CPUs Microsoft specified does not include my current nor former CPU. In the Xeon line, the list specified "W-2223 or better", and doesn't list the Xeon E5 in any configuration. (I guess I'll just have to continue to enjoy W10.) :)
