I dual boot Windows 10 and 11 and I've recently nocided that using the same oc on my gpu, on Windows 10 I get more crashes than on Windows 11.

Is Windows 11 somehow less sensitive to gpu oc than Windows 10?

That system isn't compatible with W11. There are hints that aside from the watermark method being used now, that a "kill" update could be on the horizon for people using 11 on unsupported hardware. I don't suggest the change and would consider allocating funds towards replacing this system completely.
 
I don't think Windows 11 is any more resilient against OC related instability than any other OS. OC related instability is a hardware problem. Software can't fix that. I know Microsoft basically pushed DCH drivers since 2021 or abouts, but that only separates the core drivers from the other stuff so you can update only the drivers or only the other stuff seamlessly.

If anything the system probably behaves in a way that won't let the video card reach the OC instability levels.
