Well I'm still sticking to W10, but the minimum requirement is OS W11, could it still runs on W10?

In theory, it should. If you have Southern Storm running, I would believe CW will as well. Since Windows 10 is no longer officially supported, we can't either.

As Jim said, it works fine on Windows 10 but we can no longer officially support that Operating System as it approaches the end of its support by Microsoft on October 14th. I'd recommend upgrading to Windows 11, but FCCW will work on Windows 10.

Long story short:
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2021 LTSC -> Official EoL Date Jan, 12th 2027
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC -> Official EoL Date Jan, 9th 2029
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC -> Official EoL Date Jan, 13th 2032 (Not permitted for desktop use due to license conditions)
Because of these Dates a fully supported and fully functional Windows 10 will be available by 2029. So no reason to skip the Windows 10 support. And no, LTSC has no restrictions, even though Microsoft keeps saying so. The IoT versions are also full-fledged Windows 10 versions with no restrictions, apart from the licensing conditions.
I'm waiting for FCCW, but i will never use Windows 11. Next step after Windows 10 will be Linux. So please keep an eye on Windows 10 it is still under support for the next six years!
Best wishes to all
