I recently inherited a 2017 Dell XPS 15 laptop from my son, which I'm working on. Cleaned off a bunch of sticky clearcoat from the working surface, replaced the charge port adapter, and did a clean wipe. It's on Win10, which I've extended, but the CPU doesn't have the required hardware for Win11. I've seen articles on using a 3rd part app which will allow 11 install, regardless of the CPU. I've got time to decide, but wondering if it's worth the hassle?

I've used those workarounds to install Win11 on aged-out hardware and had future updates break it. If you can just use Win10 w/ ESU, I'd go for that before I tried to workaround a Win11 limitation.
