What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs (arstechnica.com)

How long ~~with~~ will working around the requirements work? If I need Windows, I’m not going to risk it.

Then get newer hardware, simple as that, anything from 2017 or more recent will work.

Yes, that’s what you should do to run Windows.

And then use the noncompliant hardware for Linux.

That's not true, the OG Ryzen technically meets the requirements (has the TPM chip), but at least when I ran the upgrade check, it failed. So maybe update that to 2018.
