Which seems ridiculous to me. If you have to install 11 manually because your machine isn't supported, then you're well aware of any potential risks and don't have a leg to stand on if a Windows 11 update breaks something. I hope they implement a disclaimer of some kind that lets you join the regular update channel on old hardware |
Preaching to the choir man.
There are still potential ways for enthusiasts to apply patches that WU refuses to present (uupdump.net) provided the .MSU doesn't enforce the same hardware checks that the appraiser uses to prevent the OS from installing in the first place, and using DISM with the .CAB may get around that too. It isn't something you're going to want to do on your parents' PC at home, but then again they shouldn't be running an enthusiast configuration in the first place if you want to keep your sanity.
