I've got a Thinkpad T450s, think it's got a i7-5500u CPU, 12 GB of RAM,
and was running a current install of Windows 10. It's definitely not
supported by Microsoft for Windows 11. I downloaded a Windows 11 ISO
image from Microsoft, used Rufus to burn it to a USB stick, told it to
ignore the memory and TPM checks.

I booted to Windows 10 and ran the setup program from the USB stick.
Told it to do an upgrade, and let it run. Came back after running
errands to find it sitting at a Windows 11 login.

So far, everything looks good and everything I had is running. CPU usage
was pegged for a while, but I think that was defender and the store app
scanning/updating themselves.

I'm going to be using it instead of my desktop this week, will see how
it performs under more continual use.
