I have one that I was able to 'use my rewards' to continue to get Win10 updates.

I have one that 'won't' as it doesn't have some of the necessary components.

I tried one of the 'outside the box' suggestions on a really old laptop; didn't work and now it won't even boot up.  

I did get a new Win11 desktop & an inexpensive Win11 laptop (CostCo. $ 400).

As I am downsizing, I'm covered.  But my curiosity really wants to play with some of the possible work-arounds for the one that just isn't up to snuff per Microsoft's specs.
