I was today years old when I discovered this little "hack" ... I bought a secondhand laptop which was fully compatible with Windows 11 for everything except its CPU wasn't on the supported CPU list (it's a 7th gen i5 and support apparently only starts from 8th gen). Came across the "hack" while googling that, and lo and behold ... the damn thing still works in December 2022.
Also reading some of the old comments on here, you don't have to worry about the 'no updates' warning. Windows in fact delivers all the Windows 11 updates quite happily. And everything is running like a dream. Except for my fingerprint reader, which appears to have been compatible under Windows 10 but isn't under Windows 11 *shrugs* I can live without that, I know it's not secure anyway.
