Windows 11
I haven't upgraded yet. Right now, Windows 10 is fine and works well. :)

I went through the trouble of converting my Win10 VM from BIOS to UFI, added the TP chip and secure boot, just so I could fail the PC Health Test on having an 'unacceptible' Intel Core i7-3740QM processor, despite it having all the requisite technical characteristics and capabilities. The only flaw: It's from early 2013 and deemed 'too old' to be passable. 🤬 Currently fighting it out with Microsoft.

Weird! I have an old laptop that was originally Win 7, and that one passed the check. I'm sure it's way older than 2013.

I joined a W11 group on Facebook and have read some posts where people are still installing it in systems that don't support it, and with it still working properly. Who knows?

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.
