There’s no functional gamble. It’s worked fine and it will continue to work fine. Everyone is seriously overreacting, they’re just scare tactic words.

Windows 11 24H2 added a dependency on the POPCNT instruction, causing CPUs that don't have it - which were otherwise fine, to fail to even boot Windows.

What will be the next instruction/ISA extension that is only supported since Intel 11th Gen that there will be a hard dependency on? Any bets?
