Let's install Windows 11 on incompatible hardware


Not at all! I love seeing what I can do on both old and low-power hardware. As an example, I am using a Mini PC that has a lowly Intel N95 CPU as my NAS and Plex box. I purchased that machine for $129 with everything except the mouse, keyboard, and monitor. It streams 4K video via Plex and serves my 40TB of storage with zero issues at all.

Older and low-power systems can have their place, and can sometimes do way more than people give them credit for.
but that is not that old, my laptop I'm on right now is older ;-)
I think you might like my low-power experimental SSI cluster build i started on... but is on ice now since i have to pack all my stuff for a temporary move while they do a total renovation.... that is seven laptop motherboards between Pentium 4 up to intel dual core that i will build into one 4U chassis with one power supply.. as i have to solder on the motherboards, i feel i will start with old boards just in case i fry them.. before i start pick apart 8 core 16 thread laptops *LOL* 🤣
