Cause the main page claims support for Win11 my question is: Are there any caveats for using Windows 10?

I went with 11 for the aforementioned issues. Originally wasn't planning on it, but when I saw that 10 wasn't supported, and that there were performance concerns with it, I bit the bullet and installed 11. Have been pleasantly surprised by it. Followed the FW guide for upgrading the main board (from my 11th gen), and it went pretty smoothly. No online account needed either (use Rufus to make the boot media and remove that requirement). I may even change my desktop machine over to it.

Incidentally, Stacksocial has Win 11 Pro right now for $25. Cheapest you'll find it anywhere.
