I always thought of TechPowerUp as a reputable news site. But this story seems wrong. Or am I just colossally out of date? If this story is true, then lots of people don't need to use some kind of workaround or use Rufus to install Windows 11 on older hardware.
Microsoft opened an official support page, noting that "Installing Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet Windows 11 minimum system requirements isn't recommended.

Devices that don't meet these system requirements aren't guaranteed to receive updates, including but not limited to security updates.
