Hi there!! My name is Vladimir, and back in the day, I was a member of EightForums and TenForums. I had been running Windows 10 on my old rig for over a decade, but a week ago I decided to upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware using AveYo's TPM Bypass script, which worked like a charm!!! However, I noticed that I ended up stuck on build 22621 and unable to enroll in the Insider Program through Windows Update, so I resorted to the Offline Insider Enroll method and updated to build 22635 yesterday!!! Although everything has gone well so far, I wonder how long I will continue to receive updates through the beta channel and if a future update could eventually make Windows 11 unbootable on my old rig. My PC is an Intel Q9550 2.83 GHz | 8GB DDR 1333MHz | VGA R7 450 4GB GDDR5 | 1TB SSD. Any thoughts?

I also have an old Core i3 laptop where I'll keep Windows 10 and the vast majority of my data is safe in backup!!! Also, my second SSD has a healthy Windows 10 install, so in the worst case scenario I'll just have to rearrange the disks and reinstall a bunch of stuff!!! It may sound weird but I have a sentimental attachment to my old Dell Optiplex that has served me well for the past 10 years!!! However, it's time to face the truth!!! I'll probably use Windows 11 23H2 as long as I can on it and start thinking about building a decent machine as soon as possible!!!
