Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.194)
This PC has SecureBoot, UEFI, TPM 2.0, but the CPU is an i7-5960X (Haswell) so it doesn't make the Windows 11 CPU compatibility list. In spite of this, I installed Windows 11 Pro using the Media Creation tool method. No registry patch was needed during the installation process. There was no nag screen about my CPU being incompatible which surprised me. Does my PC get all the Windows updates users of fully compliant Windows 11 PCs get?
Does this look about right?
