Link please?

 

How do you know they are not going to patch the workarounds as they see the masses exploiting them?

Is there a reason why you have deliberately left out the Generation of the i7 CPU?

No reason. 

 

It's Intel Core i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz,  4 core - 8 threads.

Patching workarounds for installation is not related to blocking security updates. They will not block security updates.

 

The issue is not with i7. It's the age of your i7 processor. 3rd Gen. 12 years old. You can still install Windows 11 on it. It's just upgrading later that concerns people. As of right now, you can install and run it.

I know this, but it's an install on hardware that is not compatible. 

 

As I said, people are working around it, and Microsoft are working around the people who are working around it.  

 

I know I can install Windows 11 on my device, however, if they patch out what I have done, along with millions of others, and block updates, I may have been better staying with Windows 10 and paying for third party updates until I upgrade to Core i9 device.  

 

You can not guarantee Microsoft will continue to support Windows 11 on hardware that is not compatible, can you?

No. That's not how it works. If you have 24H2, then you'll have until the end of it's support, but you might not be able to install 25H2. But 24H2 will work normally and receive all security updates. Don't panic.

ESU pricing announced. 1 year only, for now anyway.

 

Want to keep getting Windows 10 updates? It’ll cost you $30
