Win11 Required for 7950X3D?

I am tentatively planning to get a 7950x3d and have read it might only be supported on Win11.  I have a copy of Win10 that I can upgrade to 11, but not sure if I can even do that if 10 isn't supported.  Can anyone confirm?

ApexAZ, W11 is not required. In the future MS will stop providing updates for  w 10. Enjoy, John

From AMD Specs on your processor: https://www.amd.com/en/product/12741

So according to AMD that new processor will be supported on Windows 10 depending on your Motherboard's manufacturer.

NOTE: When you get the new processor in February 28, 2023 or later make sure you select the RAM from the motherboard's QVL List to avoid compatibility issues and a powerful enough CPU Cooler.

The new processor's TDP rating is quite high at 120 watts. So you will need a CPU Cooler, at least, 200 watts or greater to keep your processor from overheating or reaching its Maximum Operating Temperature of 89c.
