Windows 10: What are the consequences of downloading windows 11 on unsupported hardware?

Hello, I am planning on downloading windows 11 on my unsupported pc so I would like to know the consequences .

:)

 

Is it legal to install Windows 11 on an unsupported hardware?

I know installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware is unofficial, meaning you will be denied support from Microsoft, if you need support. However, is it legal? If i install Windows 11 on an unsupported hardware, will i be allowed to ask questions on Microsoft Answers, if need help?

Microsoft Support won't be allowed, but will i be allowed to get help from users?

Just wondering about unsupported installs of Win-11...

There are several relevant discussions in Windows 11 Forum
- Unsupported hardware has been getting Cumulative updates
- Unsupported hardware has not had the Version update to 22H2 through Windows update
- Several users have downloaded the 22H2 ISO and used it to update to 22H2

Microsoft has not said that unsupported hardware will not get updates.
They have just said they will not guarantee that they will.
This is logical since they use their declared hardware requirements as their reference point in designing updates and they cannot reasonably be expected to take account of the needs of non-compliant installations in that design process.


All the best,
Denis
