Hey Mike, wanted to clear my doubt about Windows 11 which I read.
I read that now Microsoft will let users install Windows 11 on non supported devices or old cpu's. But the catch is those systems will not get the system updates aka Windows update. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it is what I read.

Thanks and Regards
