    Windows 11 "Bring balance to your desktop"

    Windows 11 "Bring balance to your desktop"

    Windows 'aint bringing nothin' to my desktop, its incompatible with 11 as it is from a generation before Ryzen came out and Ryzen (and there is a certain Intel CPU equivalent too) is the lowest gen CPU it will accept due to it not having a certain hardware security chip.
