My Dell Workstation, purchased only a few months before Win11 launched, has TPM2, almost all the other requirements and higher specs than the requirements but the high-end CPU is not on MS's list. I am not able to replace it with a new one as Dell no longer produces a box which can take the multiple disc burners I need for me video editing work. I'll use the holiday break to try an unofficial server-style upgrade. If that fails, I'll keep with Win 10 and, if absolutely necessary, simply detach it from the internet and feed it data from my Mac.

For MS to threaten to b;ock updates places Win 10 and 11 in the same position - you're no worse off with an unsupported Win 11 than you are with an unsupported Win 10!
