The windows thread is probably what you need
>>105940279, but basically:
>What will happen?
Assuming you use Rufus to create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive and disable compatibility checks, nothing will happen. Microsoft has warned users with compatibility issues and lack of Windows updates for unsupported hardware, but so far these have been empty threats. It's basically no different to using support hardware.
>What happens if I stay on Windows 10?
For a while (probably years), nothing will happen. Eventually new versions of software/hardware/drivers will stop supporting Windows 10, so you won't be able to update or upgrade them. There's also the risk that a security breach in Windows 10 will be found and exploited, and Microsoft won't fix it, leaving you exposed to malware and identity theft. If you want security updates for Windows 10 beyond October 2025, you may want to consider upgrading to an LTSC version (again, check out the Windows thread above), but that won't resolve software and hardware no longer supporting it.
