Windows 10: Have any of you guys experienced problems with win11 on unsupported hardware?

I'm thinking of upgrading my computer to Windows 11. My computer originally came with Windows 8, and I upgraded to Windows 10 via ISO. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't support Windows 11. Has anyone successfully installed Windows 11 on unsupported hardware? If so, how was your experience? Just need some opinions. Thanks!

Been running Win11 for months on supported hardware. Says "Unsupported" when trying to fresh install / format.

I am typing this currently on my Windows 11 system. I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 naturally with no issues many months ago. Now I need to format and FRESH install the OS. I made a fresh USB Windows 11 Installer (April 24th 2022), and tried booting. When I select Windows 11 Pro... I get the screen "This PC is unsupported".

This is clearly 100% wrong. NEED HELP!!!!!!!

Here's my hardware

Intel Core i9 9940X (on the officially supported list)

ASUS Prime Deluxe 2 X299 (BIOS 3601) - Even BIOS 3501 says official Win11 support.

64GB Trident Z Royal DDR4 3200

EVGA XC Ultra 3070Ti

TPM 2.0 enabled (PTT)

 

Unsupported Hardware

You need to identify what is causing the unsupported hardware message - if it's a piece of software upgrade the software to a compatible version.
