I installed Windows 11 with an unsupported CPU, kinda funny how it just worked despite all their screeching that it wouldn't work and updating not working, but installing with installation media was flawless.

It's a real bitch, automatically logging me into my partner's account for the whole system and overriding my local user settings when I open MS Office apps Excel or Word (but that's just Windows), and it cries about my lack of TPM on those apps and the Start menu when it does log in and cries about me not being logged into a MS account otherwise, but you know what? Everything still actually operates.

I don't want to be that guy, but why use Windows at that point?

An OS is a tool.
And you are a tool if you use the wrong tool for a purpose.
E.g. an essential program that only runs on windows and is either impossible or troublesome to run elsewhere.

I agree. That's why I wouldn't install Windows 11 on an unsupported CPU in the first place, let alone keep it installed after having one issue after another like the comment I replied to had mentioned.

Seems like the wrong tool to me.

...for now.

What CPU?

The list of unsupported CPUs is for OEMs licensing new computers as Windows 11 certified.

Nothing stopping you installing Windows 11 or upgrading to Windows 11 with an incompatible CPU.

The only item that requires a hack is the lack of TPM. Now that I still don't understand.

Also, Office by default installs with licensing configured per machine but can be installed so it is licensed per user.
