My laptop has tpm, but CPU isn’t supported. What will happen if I install Windows? Will I receive updates?

    Yes you will receive updates. As of now, once it’s installed it works just like it would on a supported system. Microsoft could crack down on this if they wanted to but I doubt they will because especially in lower income markets where an update simply isn’t an option they would rather you keep using their products then jump ship, but that’s only my theory I don’t have anything to back that up.

    The biggest problem going forward will be drivers. The way drivers work changed in windows 11 for now it can take advantage of windows 10 drivers but that may not be the case forever. Poor driver compatibility after a change is what caused a lot of the issues with windows vista and they would like to avoid a repeat of that.

    As long as you’re reinstalled maybe give Linux a shot.
