Intel would like for "Intel Processor" to mean low end

Quizzical

No, really.  That sounds like catastrophically awful marketing, but I'm not making that up.  Straight from the horse's mouth:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/welcome-the-new-intel-processor.html

"Today, Intel introduces a new processor for the essential product space: Intel® Processor. The new offering will replace the Intel Pentium® and Intel Celeron® branding in the 2023 notebook product stack."

In the past, people have understood that Pentium meant low end and Celeron meant really low end.  But now Intel is taking away the other branding to deflect from their corporate name and calling their low end just an "Intel Processor".  That means that if you buy a Core i9 and tell someone that you have an Intel processor (as opposed to an AMD processor) without specifying which one, they can assume that it's something low end.  I don't understand marketing, but this doesn't strike me as likely to end well for Intel.

We used to joke about re-orgs, calling them "reorganization to create the illusion of progress".

That sounds like what this is, re-branding to create the illusion of progress.

I'm wondering if this poster is a bot, but in case he isn't: Win 11's CPU support list for older Intel CPUs can be found here:
  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

As long as it's on the list you can upgrade, and Win 11 will run just as stable if not more stable with it as Win 10 does.

And don't mind the regressions in the UI, the advertisements, and the other random nonsense that comes with Windows 11.
