I think I've got something. The CPU is a Ryzen 3 1200 running at 3100MHz. Microsoft claims minimum Ryzen 3 for Win 11 is a Ryzen 3 3100 running at 3600MHz. Not the same CPU.
The former is codename Summit Ridge, introduced 07/17. The latter is codename Matisse, introduced in 04/20.
With that many errors, if the upgraded CPU doesn't make them go away it might be worth chucking a Win11 reinstall at it since it's already a freshly installed system. All system errors including blue screens are logged in the event viewer, but it's a pain to wade through them all.
In reply to GameboyRMH :
Yeah, since i've got nothing on the system, I might as well reinstall after I install the new cpu.
Okay, I procured and installed a new Ryzen 5 5600X, then reinstalled Win 11 after making some changes in the BIOS. It was still barking about CSM, so I turned that off and the install looks okay now. No crashing yet.
Honestly, if some software didn't require it, I'd never run anything but Linux. And yes, I know about virtual machines and WINE and stuff, but I've never had that go particularly well.
My question is how much functionality will be lost upgrading to win 11? I just had to re do a pc from a major win 10 issue and it was a bit of a pita. If up grading wipes the pc and the software I may just purchas a new pc and set it up as a side project while my win 10 pc is still working correctly.

What functionality do you anticipate losing?
Other than some minor ui differences, I dont think you would notice any change
One note on the Windows menu in Win 11: Many hate the new central location. That can be changed to the left (similar to win 10) in the settings.

I chose to start from a blank slate. If your computer is "upgradeable to win 11" I would think you wouldn't lose anything. Rely on windows update?

Agree the stock setup sucks. Thanks for that!
There are a few other little add-on's to make Win11 look/act like Win10, like a context menu roll-back to something like what is in 10. I have that on my desktop PC and really like that vs. 11's.
Overall I really like Win11 on my personal desktop computer but there are a few small tweaks via free software that made it a lot nicer overall. This thread was a reminder to me that I was going to let MS's free Win10 to 11 upgrade run on my personal laptop today while I work from home.

Hold down the Shift key when right-clicking, which will display the full menu.
If it's your own computer, you can also permanently restore the full menu by changing the registry -- simple instructions here.
Here is a screen shot I have for adjusting the Windows menu (we are going to Win 11 at work at some point). Just search for "Taskbar settings"

It's not about what he wants, it's about what Microsoft wants, and Microsoft wants every off their "forever" Windows 10, by October.
