KapilArya So, the numbers say that with incompatible devices (which include other incompatibles like MB, GPU etc) would have 99.7% crash free experience. So, based on the 0.1% more failure rate across all incompatibilities tried, results that for 7700k processor would be a even higher rate of crash free experience, between 99.7% to 99.8%.
Microsoft, nice paying around with words. I am quite sure that 7700k is at around the same 99.8% crash free rate.

Mine is one more. I have a quite recente ASUS (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz 16GB RAM) according with minimal requirements to run Win11, but at the same time, the CPU isn't supported by Win11 OS. Mystery!
In Your opinion is it possible to install Win11 anyway, also if the check test Microsoft highlights CPU not supported? Do You think this check blocks the installation?
Thanks

This can be generated with a Microsoft tool. However they started that the unsupported hardware will not receive support. But most importantly it will not receive automatic updates and if you want to update later, you need to do another iso and install (possibly over the old installation like an update)

Wonderful, I suspected this! I think it will be better to continue to use Win 10, at least as long as it is supported. Thanks for replaycodiac
