I have a rig with Windows 10, and haven't upgraded because.. Microsoft arbitrarily say my CPU is unsupported, even though it meets all the criteria.

It really winds me up how results that match every search term aren't prioritised any more. I often search for very specific pieces of hardware, and it's been a nightmare since the late 2010s. You now have to pore over each result to check that it's 100% what you're are looking for.

SEO exacerbates the problem, but I'd say the root cause is the algorithm itself.

In 2021, I got an email that said: "We have temporarily suspended your inactive Ubisoft account and will be closing it permanently in 30 days in accordance with our Terms of Use." - And my account had two games at the time.

Anecdotal, I had the same with EA. When Origin first launched, the two games I had in my EA account disappeared. Do amount of battling with their support got me anywhere, even though I had the retail copies and the serial keys.

Got to the point where I gave up. Rather play games I actually wanted to play, to than Spore and The Sims 3.

I couldn't care less about the two games, and fighting on principle seemed like too much effort at the time.

But yes, I've not bought an EA game since.

Purchased! I had Steep and Star Trek Bridge Crew in my account at the time.

This was two years ago, mind, Ubis terms might have changed since then.

That used to work, but these days seems to do little other than sightly change the order of the same useless results.

Or you are taken to a thread where someone says "Just Google it"...

This is the thing with my CPU. It has TPM, it's enabled, and the upgrade tool says that's fine. The installer doesn't make it clear what the issue is, it's like: Congrats, your CPU satisfies these three bullet points, but no, you still can't have Win 11.
