I ended up just reformatting and putting WIN 10 back on it. Since then it seems there have been some issues discovered that cause the slowdown although I thought it only affected AMD chips. I may give it another shot after another month or so.

My AK1 runs better on W11 and deleted W10. Smooth too

Can this win11 version work on a GK3V even though it doesn't have secure boot.

Though I can't answer your question, as I simply don't know, if you're looking to upgrade your GK3 to the full release version you can do so using this method, which is specifically designed to get around the TPM and Secure Boot requirements. It's easy to use. I installed W11 on my T6 Pro a couple of days ago using this method and it worked perfectly.

Though Microsoft did warn about the possibility of not receiving Windows Updates when installing Windows 11 on systems that don't fully support it, like one that doesn't have Secure Boot, that policy doesn't seem to be in effect, or at least not at this point. I receive updates on my T6 Pro, which doesn't have Secure Boot, and I've seen dozens of posts in the two Windows 11 groups I belong to on Facebook saying the same thing in similar circumstances, in that they're still getting Windows Updates. I suppose it could just be Microsoft backing off of it because of so many people are putting W11 on machines that don't have TPM and/or Secure Boot. Whatever the case, it's good for us.

I am very happy to share this news with you. We have developed a safe start function for GK series machines. If your GK series models are restricted by safe boot and cannot be updated to Win11. You can contact me through the after-sales mailbox: 18898767762@163.com, I will send you a new version of the BIOS for you to use. When contacting, you need to attach a photo of your BIOS main interface so that I can confirm your BIOS version.

I have not yet received a reply to the email.

Me neither

No reply email either.

there are versions of windows-11 that have had the TPM dependencies removed from them, if i remember correctly Linus-Tech-Tips supplied on YouTube supplied links to them

I've not had a reply to my Email yet, has anyone?
