What’s the point in installing Windows 11, which potentially won’t work or may cause problems - and which will not be supported with security updates over a working Windows 10 installation, which is also unsupported after October 2025?

This can probably still deliver ads. I bet they continue to support ads. You are missing out on so many ads on windows 10.

Sounds like it’s still supported with security updates, but not with tech support.

But not for free as far as I’ve understood. You may have to pay a yearly fee for it.

Yes for free. I think it’s the same as installing Windows without a license, except you don’t get the watermark.
