PS: I have Surface Pro 5 i5-7300u with 4gbram, tpm 2.0, secure boot, uefi. It is a unsupported computer and it is running great

Just used the standard install iso unmodified and put it on to a USB stick. Made sure firmware TPM or PTT and secure boot was on in the bios and booted from the USB stick for a clean install. Bear in mind that the test rig I'm using is a 6th gen and this is was only done as a test just to see what would happen as they're bringing out insider updates as well all the time so things might change as I did an insider update recently that ended up boot looping the test rig and had to re-install from scratch so really glad I didn't put it on the main one. If you have a PC you can use to try it out and your not worried about it failing then by all means have at it. I think as it stands at the moment the 6th and 7th gens can take it as they have TPM 2.0 in the BIOS and will allow updates to it but test it on a test rig first. Might be the same with AMD 1 series but I probably won't know much on that as I don't have one of those to test. Not sure about older 3rd, 4th or 5th gens, 4th or 5th may have TPM 1.2/1.3 possibly but I'd say it would be unlikely without some modifications to the iso file. Personally I'd hold off till everything i.e. the requirements has been etched in stone before updating.

Please share the exact process you followed to get a successful install. Where and what file did you use?

Just managed to clean install the stable version on the 6th gen test rig. As far as I can see everything seems fine and is updating with no problems and this is with TPM 2.0 and secure boot on as they recommended. So as far as no updates and no security updates for unsupported PC's particularly where the CPU is concerned, I'm smelling a fair amount of BS.
