Solved Will Open Shell Run Okay on Windows 11?

Well I can't believe I've done it but I just went and ordered a new ThinkPad laptop with Windows 11 Pro. as the operating system and I have to wait 6-8 days for it to be built and delivered to me. Then last night I spent hours fretting that I won't be able to tweak 11 to my liking. Chief among my concerns is whether Open Shell can be installed to Windows 11. So can someone please answer that? And also, if it can be installed but with potential pitfalls, can someone mention what the pitfalls are and any solutions if such exist?

Lastly, I've been using Classic Shell and Open Shell successfully on Windows 7 and 10 computers and I have my Open Shell settings backed-up — so would it be okay for me import those settings into Open Shell on the Windows 11 Pro. system?

It works fine at the moment

Thank you. But your cautionary note, "at the moment," leaves me fretting a bit.

However, would it be okay for me to import my previously saved of Open Shell settings into the Windows 11 machine?
