How Stable is Windows 11 on the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 (Such as USFF i5-7500)

How stable is Windows 11 (Pro) on the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 (Such as USFF with i5-7500)?

I am asking for replies only from those who have tried it and have real experience. Please do not reply if you are not currently using Windows 11 on the HP EliteDesk 800 G3. Please do not reply with any of the standard answers about the support of this model, the CPU or Windows 11.

I am only interested in real experience not the continuation of forced upgrades and environment damage. FYI I have been running Windows 11 (Pro) on my Z400 and Z600 workstations for approaching a year with great stability. (And those are much older and definitely not officially supported.)

However I am looking at the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 (Such as USFF i5-7500) for a specific application with size, power consumption and cost constraints.

@24WX58,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

A fair question for sure, but since you specified "Such as", would an HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF fitted with an i7-7700K, RTX 3080 12GB, a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD, etc. count?

In short, my experience with W11 on my HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF has been outstanding. Complete stability. A-OK.

Hope this was helpful.

You fit an RTX 3080 12GB into a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF? The SFF case? How did you do that?

What power supply are you using?

@24WX58,

By using a PCIe x16 extension cable and external graphics card stand/interface and parking it outside the case - see my link: Solved: Upgrading HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF - Page 6 - HP Support Community - 8251218.

And by powering it with an externally parked AGK AresGame 850 watt fully modular power supply synced with the original internal power supply using an ATX 24-Pin to SATA 15-Pin Power Sync card adapter.
