The biggest problem I’ve been running into is MBR versus GPT hard drive stuff. A botched windows update made me need to restore from an image. The windows image wasn’t working but had the underlying VHD files. I tried to restore them but they’re in GPT format instead of MBR. It took a lot of effort but I was able to get a crazy workaround using a tool called Macrium Reflect.
Windows 11 won’t run on my system because it doesn’t have secure boot capabilities. To be honest that’s bullshit on Windows’ part. The metaphor I like to use is that it’s like a car radio manufacturer saying their radio isn’t compatible with your car because your car doesn’t have a car alarm and then advertise that their radio is secure because it has a car alarm. (Not that I’m dying to upgrade to 11 but I heard 10 is approaching EOL.)
