Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

You could also try installing Windows IoT LTSC.

    At this point I want to give Linux an earnest go on this box. I bought a second SSD and will just unplug the windows drive for a while.

    I am curious if fusion will support LTSC and/of whatever version of 11 they call out.
