But it’s hard to believe that Windows 10 will be… 10 years old soon. I actually started using it 4 days after it launched. Windows 11, minus telemetry nonsense and spyware Microsoft Windows has been known for since the Windows XP era, has been an improvement over Windows 10, at least in my experience. Also, always use Open-Shell!

But I decided to upgrade directly from W10 to W11 IoT Enterprise, it worked perfectly, and for me, it is the direct replacement of W10 for unsupported machines, and yet, it updates the builds in the non-LTSC version

It is an Enterprise version of W11 that removes the requirements for TPM, Secure Boot and GPT.
There is the IoT Enterprise version and the IoT Enterprise LTSC version.
The LTSC version, in addition to the previous requirements being dropped, can be installed on computers with 2GB of RAM.

I don’t know but I don’t see why it wouldn’t.

I haven’t tried running this hacked Win11 as an upgrade install and I’d be afraid to try. You could use a program like PCmover to move the apps afterward. It costs $50 but I’ve used it before when I was stuck in a similar bind. It worked.

I luuuurve Windows 10. But even the best relationships sometimes have to end.
But Dave, will this broggle allow me to keep my existing apps (Project, Word, Slack etc)?
