The old Windows Photo Viewer (from Windows 7) would run in Windows 10. Will it run run in Windows 11?

There is a tutorial on TenForums with the registry hack that makes it work. I still have that saved.
I did not find a toot here from doing a search.
I'd like to know if anyone has tried it and survived!

Yes, the tutorial on Ten Forums is equally applicable to Windows 11.

@Brink is working his way through the applicable TF tutorials to update their screenshots and bring them over here. This one should already be on his 'to do' list.
