Windows 11 hardware requirements made a mockery of by an Intel Pentium 4 processor
As the screenshots below show, Microsoft considers the Intel Pentium 4 661 a supported processor. Intel released the Pentium 4 661 in early 2006, with a solitary core to its name. Apparently, Microsoft forgot to add any Intel Family 15 (Netburst) SKUs in its unsupported processors list for Windows 11.
Hence, the PC Health Check tool sees that the Pentium 4 661 has a 3.6 GHz boost clock, which satisfies one of Windows 11's requirements. Curiously, the tool states that the Pentium 4 661 has two or more cores, even though it lists it as having one.
@Carlos_SM1995 has even got Windows 11 (Build 22000.258) running on a Pentium 4 661. Supposedly, Windows Update still works too, highlighting the ridiculousness of Microsoft's overtures regarding Windows 11 compatibility.

Mmmmm... then you're not getting the full ego stroke of the fruity product purchasers, not only do they get to always show the latest bling, they know that everybody who sees them with that bling knows that they pay dearly for it. According to this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/236031/market-share-of-ios-in-global-smartphone-os-shipments/ [statista.com] about 14% of the world really gets off on that kind of thing.

I never was impressed with bling, and considering borrowing money to look rich to be very stupid. That's probably those who ate in the lowest 14th percentile of IQ range.

There's all kinds of intelligence, and in some ways posturing with bling gains acceptance with certain people, which can be valuable in all kinds of ways. I worked for one of those, once for about a year - we didn't part on the best of terms.
