Originally W7 Pro which I've upgraded to Windows 10 Professional

And yesterday, just for amusement I put a spare disk in and installed Windows 11 Pro, it even auto-activated!
I had to bypass the installation check on TPM and Secure Boot (quick registry hack from command prompt during install) as it's only TPM1.2 and has no secure boot, but W11 doesn't seem to care once it's installed.
Windows update works fine and once I'd found the relevant (W7 x64) drivers from Dell it's 100% functional. Windows Update did find most of them in the "Optional Updates" section but didn't install any.
It runs fine, at least as well as W10, but I'll keep it on W10 for it's main job.
