intel i5-6600k. its older than ryzen yet good enough that there's no game that like i struggle to play so upgrading it and the motherboard would make no sense whatsoever.

yep, no reason not to stick with it

it just seems weird to me that with hardware that there is no reason to upgrade, its not supported

it's some security stuff, that you might be able to fix with like a dongle or something if you really wanted to down the line. it also makes the developers happy to not have to support older hardware. and of course it's to push people to buy a new laptop lol

honestly i feel like i'd rather just use it as an excuse to try and ditch windows than bother to buy a dongle. but im pretty sure the processor itself isn't supported at all, so even if i got the dongle it would do nothing for me.
