PIRG petitions Microsoft to extend the life of Windows 10

The simple solution...

The simple solution is for Microsoft to remove it's arbitrary hardware requirements, particularly for CPUs. I have an i7700k processor which is not on the compatible list. But by using Microsoft's approved workaround, I've installed Windows 11 Pro and it works perfectly. The problem isn't the discontinuation of Windows 10, in line with the schedule for EOL for other versions of Windows, but the fact that arbitrary hardware requirements are preventing people from upgrading.
