So if you got Win11 to install on an "unsupported" CPU it might not boot now?

Backward compatibility is a big selling point for me. It bugged me for years when Windows got rid of 16-bit compatibility.

Looking forward to Linux instead of Windows 11/12, I know it will be a learning curve but Linux is getting better and easier.

Do it. I made the switch a few months ago, and it's gone better than I'd expected. Now running Linux Mint on my desktop and laptop. I set my laptop up with dual boot, just so I can easily and natively run Windows apps if needed.
