    From windows-11-will-soon-no-longer-boot-on-pcs-that-are-too-old-

    "PCs with very old CPUs are going to be in for a rough time this fall when the next version of Windows 11 rolls around, as version 24H2 will be the first to no longer boot on CPUs without the POPCNT (population count) instruction. This means PCs that are over 15 years old and couldn't officially run Windows 11 before now definitely won't be able to."

    Thanks Denis. I was aware of it.

    I just posted a paragraph of the MS article.

    Yes.

    I wanted people to see a link to that CPU test utility so they can find out if their own old computers are affected.


    All the best,
