Just finish installing Windows 11 on my other incompatible platform. I was pleasantly surprise how easy it was.

Just finish installing Windows 11 on my other incompatible platform. I was pleasantly surprise how easy it was.
Let's run Windows 11 on an incompatible hardware
here, I just ...
1) downloaded ISO W11 from Microsoft Official site, as expected.
2) with RUFUS, I did my pendrive with image, as expected... if you want install in phisical pc
3) in my VirtualBox VM, i did a vm W10 (dont have W11 ) with ISO W11 of course
4) in Setup (next... next) I used Shift+F10 to access Regedit as Admin and add the 3 key/words necessary to bypass TPM and OTHERS, as script founded on internet
5) it's ready! go ahead installation.
I7 4770k, 16gb, Asus Sabertooth Z87 motherboard ... all 2013/2014 + W11 2021
But be warned
Microsoft demoes hacker attacks on PCs with no TPM, VBS, and more - Neowin
really works!
For me, it's October 5+7 days, because it looks like the October, 2021 "patch-Tuesday", hopefully will have the performance-fixing CU.
I'm still waiting for my second pc to be offered the update, it is fully complient, still, only 7 days since the general offer of W11. That would leave 2 desktops and 1 laptop which will never be able to comply with the W11 spec, they are AM3+ and 6th gen i3.
I think I remember in the early Beta releases of Windows 11 Microsoft on purposely allowed people with supported and unsupported hardware to install it. They wanted to see what problems people would have. The results showed that people with unsupported hardware had more problems with Windows 11 than those with supported hardware. Microsoft has never said that Windows 11 would not run on unsupported hardware. They only said that they would not guarantee that future updates to Windows 11 would not break these installations on unsupported hardware. There is even a registry mod on Microsoft's website to allow a computer with unsupported hardware to have Windows 11 installed without complaint. Everyone is free to update their Windows 10 to Windows 11. Microsoft has made it clear that if you ignore their warnings they will not be responsible for any bad outcomes.
The rollout of Windows 11 through windows update is a staggered one, starting with the most compatible, the main rollout for automatic offer is not due to start until the start of 2022, and some systems may not be offered the update through Windows update until the 2nd quarter of 2022
You can of course download the Installer or ISO and manually install at any time, though you would be responsible for any issues this causes
There is more than one reason that the Update will not be offered to a specific system.
This may be due to Microsoft's stated plan to offer the update to the systems that are most suitable first and then work backward down the list Suitability/Compatibility.
There is also the possibility that a component in a system may be one of those with the known issues ... which will only be offered the update after the issue is solved
If anyone wants to manually obtain an installer and proceed with the upgrade they are strongly advised to make sure they have a full working backup of their current install before starting
