    Can Windows 11 installed on unsupported CPU normally update via Windows Update without any hassle?
    Will it show some watermark, warning, or completely break? If so what's the preferred way to block or completely disable Windows Update? Is there a difference if Enterprise or IoT edition were to be used?
    BTW what's the easiest way to get newest retail build 22000.556 ISO patched for unsupported CPU and lack of TPM module? Build it on my own from UUP dump and then apply FiX KiT v2.2 by Enthousiast?

    As you say, "the easiest way to get newest retail build 22000.556 ISO patched for unsupported CPU and lack of TPM module? Build it on my own from UUP dump and then apply FiX KiT v2.2 by Enthousiast" has been the easiest no fail way for me to get the required ISO or ISOS.

    Good luck and take care,

    At the moment simple updates are not checking for the win 11 minimum system requirements and no watermarks on 22000.xxx.

    Personally i always download the .1 ISO once and use W10UI for the offline updating.

    The fix will still work, yes.

    593 is not a IP release preview update like .588 was but a preview as in quality only c week update.
