CTOnews.com October 16 news, a Reddit netizen posted that he ran Windows 11 22H2 feature update "like a dream" on a computer equipped with a 2010 Intel CPU (not officially supported by Microsoft).

@paul_is_on_reddit found that his antique is powered by Intel Core i5- 580M processor, a two-core four-threaded CPU released in 2010, but it still seems to work well in 2022.

CTOnews.com learned that he used Rufus 3.20 to bypass Microsoft's system requirements for Windows 11, such as processor, memory size, TPM, etc.

With Rufus 3.20, I can easily install Windows 11 on this Acer laptop (made in 2010). Note that this CPU is the original Intel Core-i5- 580m (3MB L2 cache, 2 cores 4 threads, support for hyperthreading, 2.67-3.2GHz clock speed). I removed all TPM / RAM / CPU requirements using Rufus. W11 works like magic, like a dream.

This suggests that Microsoft has been refusing to support older hardware for security-related reasons that almost always runs Windows 11 fully, but ironically, the company itself recommends that users disable some security features for better gaming performance, even on supported CPU platforms (AMD in particular).

Interestingly, as early as June, Microsoft started offering Windows 11 22H2 preview upgrades to unsupported Windows 10 users. However, the company quickly removed it and explained that it was "vulnerable," and it seems that unsupported hardware still cannot get the official version of Win11 22H2 through the official update service, and users who need it can only install it manually.
