I'm curious if anyone has experience using the Intel Ultra 265K with Windows 10. I've come across some comments mentioning issues like BSODs and that it's primarily optimized for Windows 11. I really want to stick with Windows 10, so any insights or real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated!

It definitely works with Windows 10, but keep in mind that it won't be fully optimized. Microsoft is only doing security updates for Windows 10 now, so you wonโ€™t get the latest fixes or optimizations that are only provided for Windows 11. If you want the best performance, upgrading might be necessary.

You should be fine running it on Windows 10, but remember that it's basically unsupported these days unless you're signed up for extended security updates. Just a heads up on that!

Iโ€™ve built six rigs with the Ultra 265K, but Iโ€™ve never tested it on Windows 10 myself. It's been running smoothly on the other systems, but I canโ€™t speak for that setup specifically. Sorry I can't provide more info!
