Oh nooooo, however will I do the needful without Microsoft’s world famous blue ribbon customer support.

This is so wrong
-
Windows 11 requires 8th gen Intel or newer. You can bypass it but you lose official support and more importantly things will break down the line.
-
Those listing are not what I would call “full price”
-
You can buy a old 8th gen Intel system off of eBay for less than 100€

I thought they recently changed windows 11 to require an 11th gen or higher

Yeah, those are basically Mini PC prices. The CPU alone used to cost more than that.
The specs look perfectly adequate (I’m still running very similar for daily use), and 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM should keep you going no matter how many tabs you open or how bloated your PC gets.
Personally I’d get a new Ryzen Mini PC for that kind of money just for the form factor, but they’re hardly a scam. The main issue is that the crowd this is aimed at have very little use for a PC these days.
