What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs
When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it?
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean, the real danger is they shove out an update that straight up breaks on your PC, as in won't boot even in safe mode because it does something with the TPM, and it'll be your own fault for deliberately circumventing the requirements.
Non-geeky people will generally run things until they actually stop working completely. They don't care what OS it runs as long as it runs all their shit.

Geeky people, on the other hand, may either adopt a new OS while it's still half-baked, or jump through hoops to keep an old one running long past the point where a non-geeky person would have given up. Some of us do both, just for the lulz. Windows 11 on unsupported systems offers a new and exciting(?) way to scratch the same "can I make this work, just for the hell of it?" itch.
Yeah cuz Linux has never had updates that break basic system functionality....lmao
Quite funny how that's true for the software side, but on the hardware side, geeky people (especially on the foss side) are the ones running things until they accumulate failures to a point that no workarounds will do any good anymore.
