Windows 10
Hi,
I'm on Windows 10 ESU with unsupported hardware for a Windows 11 installation. I know i can use rufus to bypass hardware requirements but i want to know if it's worth it doing. Are there pros and cons? My aim is to do a debloated installation through rufus. Thanks

What would be your motivation other than the fear that you are missing out on something?

What are your specific complaints about operating with Windows 10?

Have ever any of the security updates you received ever had any positive value?
I mean, did it protect from a concrete threat that you were affected by?

More often than not the "no security updates" argument is just repeating the MS sales pitch rather than a concrete need. Think in term of new features you'll have, removed features you'll lose, time needed to learn the new layout and to setup everything as you like in the new install.

According to your logic i could still stick to Windows 7, then :LOL:
Jokes apart, just because i've never had any issues doesn't mean i can't be protected against potential vulnerabilities that are fixed through updates and security patches.

You're right. I'm already familiar with Windows 11 environment so no big deal. My question is if it is worth upgrading even with unsupported hardware.

Welcome to ElevenForum.
Here's ten points, just for filling out your computer specs. :-)


As for your question, many folks have upgraded to Win 11 on unsupported hardware, very many.

Here are their tales... (might want to start with the last post and read them backwards)

Here's an article explaining how to use RUFUS (free) to accomplish this...
