Looks like the impediments Microsoft imposes are artificial, amount to no more than a few registry settings. I have two Win10 machines I don't want to lose content of in the shuffle, so I will
a. try to make them Win11 'compatible' using rufus,
or failing that
b. use some sort of migration facility for newer machines
Will let you know how it works out in the coming weeks...
