Windows 11
If you have a .iso of the Win11 install, and have your original Win10 product key you can install it no problem.
The problem is that Windows Update won't update anything after you do that, because it senses it's an unsupported machine.
Eek. Yeah, on a Mac it might be whole different story, though I did see a post last night in an M1 Mac group on FB where someone had W11 on their Mac, running it with 'Parallels' or whatever it's called. I think I'll keep my Mac solely a Mac.
Regarding the updates, it looks like that may not actually be true on all unsupported machines. Quite a few of the ones I'm seeing in the W11 group that have put it on unsupported machines, including those without TPM, Secure Boot or even an adequate CPU are still receiving updates. I thought about trying it on one of my unsupported mini PCs, but I'm still playing around with the two that do support it.
Last night, however, I did have my AM02 freeze. It's the first time that's ever happened with it. It took a hard shut down to get it going again. I don't know if it was because of W11 though.
