Or instead of installing Linux as a workaround and having to learn how to use a new OS and having to troubleshoot a ton of inevitable issues to make it work as well as the setup you're used to just... Use a workaround to skip the hardware requirement! In the end both are a way to work around Microsoft's requirements, one is something you need to deal with once just requiring you to follow a guide and you're done, the other will be an ongoing learning process.

How long ~~with~~ will working around the requirements work? If I need Windows, I’m not going to risk it.

Then get newer hardware, simple as that, anything from 2017 or more recent will work.

Yes, that’s what you should do to run Windows.

And then use the noncompliant hardware for Linux.
