I'm sure there will be something that won't work 100%, but it seems like the impact could be minimal for DAWs.

Of course your PC has to meet the 11 requirements first, which my workstation doesn't :-(
Mine either. Which makes no sense.

People with dual cores and 4GB of ram will be able to run W11, while I'm sitting here with 20 cores and 96GB of ram and stuck on W10.

Plus two Surfaces that are not compatible and one of them I just bought last year.

Replacing a basic laptop would not be a huge deal ($400-$800), but replacing a Workstation is a different story - these things are not cheap... looking at around 4k for what I need

Maybe once it's released there will be some way to get it installed on non-approved systems.
