Question Why forcefeed Win 11 on unsupported hardware?

[USAFRet]

As we all know, Windows 11 has some pretty strict official hardware requirements. TPM, CPU generation, etc.

Of course, there are many ways around this.

But why bother?

I have Win 11 on a known supported system, Win 10 on all the others.
Except for clicks being in different places, I don't see a lot of real difference.

What are your reasons for going through all the trials and tribulations of forcing Win 11 on unsupported hardware?
What benefits do you see, over what Win 10 gave you?

Honestly, if people are smart enough to install an OS on their own computer, they should be smart enough to do it on a VM.

You are assuming the normal average user knows how to set up a VM. Its not something everyone does. I know, I hadn't done it until last year.

I have seen the spectrum of users who come here, people who have no idea what they have to people who can teach you a lesson. Assuming what the other person can do isn't safe. Better to give full instructions unless its obvious they know what to do.

The average normal user can at least read, you gotta give them that, so they can read an article on how to use a VM, heck they can watch a video on youtube and don't even need to know how to read.

Also you just install the VM as a normal program and the worst case scenario is that you don't manage to install an OS inside of it, it's not like you can mess up your system.
