Hello, anyone done this successfully? I know 10 is coming to an end and I'd like to know if anyone has successfully upgraded to windows 11 using mac hardware? What would be the recommended way of doing this? Should I create an unintended installation and bypass the hardware and Microsoft checks that way? Or can I directly upgrade and bypass the requirements while doing so Or, should I get the LTSC version of 11 and slap that on. I know that supports holder hardware from what I've read. I'd like to stick with 10 but I also don't wanna have to pay $30 a year to do so Lol. Running a macbook pro 2015 mid 13 inch.

Another possible option for staying on Windows 10
If you haven't already, another option to consider if you want to stay on Windows 10 without paying $30 is to either set up Windows backup to back up your settings to OneDrive, or redeem 1000 Microsoft Reward points if you use that program. This Microsoft Support article goes into more detail.
So, honestly, I see no…
So, honestly, I see no reason not to upgrade. There are plenty of ways to do the upgrade that are fully accessible. The way I've done it, both on a mac as well as older unsupported hardware was the windows server method. Basically, you trick windows in to thinking it is installing Windows server, though you are really installing 11. You need the Win 11 ISO and the command you need to run. I don't remember the whole process, but Google is your friend.
