See below: I started my machine off with an XP Professional 64bit license (I didn't personally buy) in like 2006?

Because I kept the key for... Oh god 18 years, I always had the windows Pro versions. Windows 7 64 pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro.

What are you complaining about then?

They supported your hardware for 18 years even when it was only meant to be for a single OS version and now people still had the option of upgrading but the hardware is just too goddamn old. I'm not defending Microsoft I also think the requirements are too high for 11, but expecting even more from your key is just ridiculous.
