Windows 11 for 7th generation Intel
I am reporting again, as a tech of 35 years.. LOL.. that I am having zero issues with MS patch Tuesday updates on machines that I used the Rufus bypass option when creating a bootable Win 11 flash drive (from the official ISO on MS download site)
So far, most machines are now on OS 22621.2428 which is moment 4 of Win11 22H2 and the precursor to the coming change in a few weeks (its a rollout) to 23H2, which is identical to the moment 4 rollout.
My army of 7th gen machines does include one 5th gen mini. I got about ten total, plus a half dozen clients with Dell 3050 Micro PCs... and no one is having upgrade issues. Mind you, all of these were done with an original Win11 ISO, not the Media creation tool. And I created the ISO with the altered bypass option offered by Rufus.
But that's my personal reporting. If you got issues, it is probably the version of Windows you used and not the hardware.
Warning: now that Downfall is affecting 6th-11th gen Intel CPUs, and the bios patches hobble performance, I advise to give up the ghost and start installing 12th or higher mainboards on your systems and leave it all behind.
Unless you are flat broke, I do NOT advise using ANY PC that is below 12th gen for anything important that has passwords, logins or any valuable information you do not want stolen.
Peace out
