That CPU came out in 2009. I think things have changed since then. The Intel stagnation issue ended with Ryzen.

Not saying you should throw away your machine, but expecting it to support all features of an OS made 15 years later is unreasonable. They also aren't saying it won't work, just that you don't get all features. It already is way past what Windows 11 was designed to run on (which imo was unreasonable at the time).

If you want to use 15 year old hardware then use Linux. I do anyway for other reasons, and it keeps my FX-6300 server running fine too.
