Can they still be considered "minimum requirements" if they are easily circumvented?

    Sounds like it’s still supported with security updates, but not with tech support.

      But not for free as far as I’ve understood. You may have to pay a yearly fee for it.

        Yes for free. I think it’s the same as installing Windows without a license, except you don’t get the watermark.
