Windows upgrade is designed to fail on unsupported hardware / BIOS / drive configuration.
A Windows 11 clean install has worked on many unsupported configurations.
Windows 11 can currently be used in the unsupported mode as long as the end user understands the risks and benefits.
End users may not benefit from the improved performance and security.
And end users may suffer with failed updates of Windows and Microsoft Defender.
So far many clean installs on unsupported configurations have had updates without problems.
So there are risks and benefits and each end user must make their decision when the configuration is unsupported.

The Microsoft Q&A email notifications have failed in my account.
A thread in the feedback section was opened.
So far there has been no fix.
So it is likely that I'll miss new posts in this thread.
