I found basically the perfect PC for graphic design. But it is not supported by Win11, from 2017 probably no TPM etc. Its an Intel Xeon E3-1240 v6
I will not run an EOL Win10 as this machine needs to be connected to the internet. Tbh isolating stuff in a VM could be an idea but I dont know.
Its not for me but a noob with 0 tech knowledge, that says all…
How stable are the available hardware check bypasses? Is Micro$ already starting to aggressively block those?
I would not want to buy a PC to find out Win11 doesnt boot anymore in a few months…
Thanks!
Rufus integrates one, but its proprietary afaik

I used rufus to install W11 (running i7-4790k) and haven’t had any issues with it. The only reason an update would cause issues is if they started requiring specific CPU instructions your CPU doesn’t support (like when W11 started requiring POPCNT, which is only in gen 1 CPUs and newer). I don’t think its likely they’d make such a upgrade in W11 again. Any new CPU instruction limitations would probably be a W12 thing at this point.
