Dont know if anyone is interested but I was able to successfully install windows 11 on a Surface pro 3, by following a youtube tutorial

Interesting .... when i went to update it told me it was incompatible and there were several workarounds on the youtube go figure!

Thanks @gnfb

 

Give us feedback on what sort of updates it receives. If it still gets security and critical updates I might consider running it on unsupported hardware.

My Pro 3 says all ok but the graphics card. The card is listed as incompatible. So leaving as 10 for now. Good to know can be done.

I installed Win11 on old unsupported hardware, this week . ( a Vista laptop)
It does get updates as usual , so far .

 

No telling if MS will stop the updates in the future.
Chances are MS dont care & wont make the effort to block updates . But who knows
