Windows may install, but may not like updating. I have Windows 11 on multiple laptops but recently an update on a Gen 4 X1 Carbon (i5-6600) stopped says the CPU was not on the Windows 11 supported listed. Odd, since it runs and updates fine on my Gen 3 X1 Carbon.

Thank you! one more question.... i know thr T480 can support 64mb RAM, is this possible with the T470? as i am sure the spec sheet at the time they probably didn't have 32mb ram sticks to test with the BIOS and Windows, so i am curious if 64MB is possible now?

There are anecdotal reports that say that it can, but only with a 7th gen processor (there are T470 models with 6th gen CPUs).
