There are ways around the hardware checks
Yes, I'm doing about 10 systems a week from Win 10 to Win 11, hardware check be damned.
I thought I read the hardware hack only works for the initial install. It won't let you update Win11?
So you're in the same security vulnerable operation system boat if u had just stuck with win10... I saw lots of complaints about it on the web a few weeks ago..

"No updates for Windows 11 installed on unsupported PCs." (So, what's the point to "force-upgrade" your fully-functioning W10 to W11?
F Microsoft. Forced me to buy 5 new desktops @ my oiffice

No, you will still receive security updates for the version you are on. You will not be able to receive the automated version upgrades.

This depends on which hardware check you get around. If it i just the TPM/secure boot issue, win11 should still update. If you have an unsupported CPU, win11 will not provide any updates after install.

No, you won't. They're adding CPUs to the unsupported hardware list on a rolling basis, which blocks (registry workarounds are ineffective) security updates. While you may get updates for a while, there's no effective warning that you will stop receiving security updates, until they just don't install anymore. And you can't just look at the "Windows 11" CPU supported list, you need to look at the specific update like this, and that's when you will also stop receiving security updates, not just feature updates.

The first method I tried had this flaw, the one I use now updates, the only downside I see is that the system is not optimized for AI.

The following is my favorite one: Win 11
