How stable are Win11 hardware check bypasses? (feddit.de)

Imagine I get hardware without TPM or something, that is not supported by Win11.

I will not run an EOL Win10 as the machine needs to be connected to the internet. Tbh isolating stuff in a VM could be an idea but I dont know.

Its not for me but a noob with 0 tech knowledge, that says all...

How stable are the available hardware check bypasses? Is Micro$ already starting to aggressively block those?

I would not want to buy a PC to find out Win11 doesnt boot anymore in a few months...

Thanks!

I put windows 11 on my old PC. It's a i7 5930K. It's definitely not supposed to work with Windows 11. But it works just fine after bypassing the hardware checks.

The checks seem to only occur when the installer is running.

This is an important thing. If that is true, just using a currently working installer will even be future proof.
