yeah totally agree, my main everything server runs on a i7 4790k as well, 32GB RAM in it because there is a bit of stuff running on it, couple of VMs, media server etc
At this stage i'm just offering new PCs to my clients, I explain that there are unofficial and unsupported ways of upgrading to 11 but probably not advisable for that reason alone, let alone the old hardware, being slow etc. Most agree, but there are the odd one with say a 7700k and maybe not loads of money and you just kind feel bad for them. But ultimately if i do the upgrade it will be on me if shit goes wrong down the track...
Mainly going down this thought process because i'm starting to accumulate a few old laptops (given for the purpose of recycling) and if I flog them off as win 10 I know I'll get next to nothing for them, and whoever buys it will probably be the person who will upgrade to windows 11 and sell it online for a lot more...
Its an ethical dilemma for me...

This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
