In the Lenovo Support article X1 Carbon 11th Gen - Manual Driver Update, it's possible to find drivers for Windows 10:
This means that the laptop is supported for Windows 10.
You should have an alternate computer on which you could download drivers from the above link for the devices which will not work correctly with the generic Windows 10 drivers. The alternate computer will be useful especially in case the network adapter will not work after Windows 10 is installed. No need to install drivers for devices that work correctly.

X1 Carbon 4th Gen (Type 20FB, 20FC) Laptop (ThinkPad) - Type 20FC

Looking for help finding Windows 11 drivers (or compatible Windows 10 drivers) for a couple of devices. Lenovo System Update, Lenovo Vantage, and Windows Update come up empty handed. I've manually dug through the available drivers on Lenovo's website for this model, but to be honest I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for.

ACPI\VEN_LEN&DEV_0068 (edit: solved this one, "Lenovo Power Management Driver")

I have a Lenovo X13 13th Gen Intel and I got it with Window 11 Pro preloaded.
An an option at purchase was to downgrade to Windows 10. So your X1 will run Windows 10 (98%+).
Remember that: (1) Windows 10 is out of support in 18 months; and (2) Windows 11 Pro properly set up works just fine. There are good features about Windows 11 and the only real adaptability piece is that right click Context has been simplified to what most users need and one needs to use "Show more options" to get the rest of the list.
Most everything else is just mild adaptation.
By all means get Windows 10 if you must, but the X1 will last longer than Windows 10. I suggest making the move now and save time later.
I have had Windows 11 Pro running for nearly 3 years now.
Hey everyone, I have been trying to install the latest Realtek Audio Driver (v6.0.9764.1) for Windows 10 (20H2 or later) / Windows 11 (21H2 or later), but it keeps failing with no clear error message. I'm using the vantage driver updater, but manual install didn’t work either.
OS: Windows 10/11 (fully updated)
Driver Size: 92.29 MB
Release Date: 08/02/2025
Tried uninstalling old drivers, rebooting, and running the installer as admin — no luck.
Anyone else run into this or found a workaround? Would appreciate any tips or alternate sources for the driver
