Aurora R7, Windows 11 2022 Update build 22H2

Alienware Aurora R7

Alienware Aurora R7

Hello Friends:

My Aurora R7 has been updated to non-supported Windows 11 Pro, build 22H2, since 10/28/2022. It seems to be functioning pretty well for the most part. Haven't experienced any significant hiccups or failures. I have the latest AutoCAD LT 2021 2D desktop application installed and operating well, among other applications. 

However, while logging into Dell support site, I noticed there is an official listing of Dell PC models tested for update to Windows 11 build 22H2, and previous versions of Windows 11. And that Aurora R7 is not included on that listing.

I'm curious, how many Aurora R7 owners here have successfully migrated to Windows 11?

Is there proper support available? I believe my bios should need to be updated.

Should we have to revert back to Windows 10? 

Appreciate your constructive input.

Dave

Is there proper support available?

No. In addition to the article, the main Aurora R7 drivers page also states =
