The Intel GPU also had no official drivers if I recall, but you could mod the video driver INF to force it to work that’s probably what needs testing here. Kaby Lake (7th gen) and later were never officially supported. Skylake (6th gen) CPUs were only supposed to get support for a limited time but it was later rolled back. My Win8.1 VM running on an Ivy Bridge i7 doesn’t have that problem. Microsoft stopped signing the Intel driver and the only workaround now seems to be running it in Test Mode, though it continues to run all the programs and still updates using ‘s method. I have one Win8.1 VM running on a Kaby Lake i7-7700 machine (restricted CPU). There was a workaround for a while, but I believe it no longer works (some of you Geeks, verify this please). Recall, Microsoft did something similar with Win8.1 by restricting the CPU’s that it could be installed on some years back. PC1 in my signature can stay on Windows 11 because it is “supported”. Let’s face it – I’m sure most people know by now that it’s more about selling more PC’s and PC hardware with Windows 11’s “restrictions” than it is about security.Īt this stage we probably don’t know if this will affect “unsupported” PC’s with Windows 11 already installed like the one I’m using now (it’ll probably happen when the next ‘big’ update appears later this year) but if it does mess up this PC and there are no workarounds then I’ll just put Windows 10 back on it… or maybe Linux. After all, haven’t most of us been taking risks with installing Windows with nearly every version since Windows 1.0?Īs I said in my last post, Windows 11 is running perfectly fine on a 10 year old system here (PC2 in my signature) and if all of these “restrictions” are supposed to be about security then why does Windows 11 still have a ‘truckload’ of security updates every month just like Windows 10? Available in North America, and Europe.If people want to install Windows 11 on “unsupported hardware” then let them do it but tell them they do it at their own ‘risk’ and they won’t get any help from MS if something does get messed up.
