Newest Way To Upgrade From Windows 10 to 11 on Unsupported Hardware

Subscribed after a year of lurking and shamelessly using your advice regardless. Since you've just saving me scrapping a perfectly excellent 7700HQ gaming laptop, which I'd given up on being worth investing in a new battery for, I cannot carry on without making amends. This has been such a useful channel, it's now my No. 1 go-to for PC queries. Thanks so much, Brian & team.

Brian thanks so much brother, extremely concise, short sweet, to the point and dead on with every step. You're THE man!

Thank you. I wasn't given the option to keep files and apps, only the files, so am reinstalling my apps. A pain but now I am finally on Win 11

Nice one Brian I have had Windows 11 Pro on my older Ivy Bridge build for some time now and back then I used the method of applying registry hacks (Bypass CPU and TPM version via the Rufus feature) and this is a much easier way of getting Windows 11 onto an older computer. I have had so far no problems in the almost two years I have installed it with the updates but am anticipating that when version 23H2 becomes available that Microsoft will deny access to it. But all the same it has worked as I said for that amount of time.

Thank you! You saved me from having to buy another laptop! I kept getting the incompatibility messages when trying to install windows 11 on my laptop. I got so far and to add the windows 11 files unto a thumb drive, but it wouldn’t load from the thumb drive without the incompatibility error messages or just stalling somewhere on install at some percentage. I followed what you said and copied the filed to the C drive from the thumb drive and everything worked perfectly. I have been thinking there HAS to be a way around this. I seen someone put windows 11 on a 15 year old handheld pc. I knew if I just watched the right video I would get the correct advice. Thanks a million!

Great Video Brian, Some users may notice that Keep files settings and apps is not available to them if they download say the English International version of Windows 11 and their computer default language is English United States. I just downloaded the correct language ISO and all options as per your video became available again

Thanks Brian. I already updated my high spec older windows 8 laptop to Windows 11 , bypass TPM and secure boot but i did it different . Nice video. Thanks.

Awesome video. Been struggling with my bios for a few hours now. I was ready to give up when I came across your video. Windows 11 is installed now! TY TY TY

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I'm in the process of upgrading my computers to either run Win 11 or be replaced, this will help with some of the ones too good to simply ditch, but not capable of a regular upgrade. I still don't understand the logic that is making so many computers obsolete

Thank you very much. It works! I am installing Windows 11 by upgrading from Windows 8.1 using the same method, not merely on non-supported PC but indeed a non-supported Mac. I am able to use Windows 11 smoothly on a Mac Mini mid 2011 (5.1) with no problem. This model of Mac not even got a bootcamp of Windows 10 or above but this method works. Amazing and thank you very much.

this channel cannot stop to impress me.Good Job

I used Rufus to get around the TPM Check etc. My laptop’s CPU was one generation “too old.” win 11 worked fine because I didn’t have money for a new computer at that time. I eventually found a Thinkbook 13s for $400 down from $750 and now use that laptop.

Good video! Microsoft actually blocked this method in a recent Insider build but it still works in current released versions of Windows 11.

Another, straight talking no bull video thanks matey 👍👍👍👍👍

Fortunately I got given a laptop with Windows 10 and upgraded to windows 11. It is windows 11 capable. I haven't used my old HP Z440 with windows 10 for months. I may now put windows 11 on it because it's so much more powerful. Cool video again.

Very nice job,Brian. I have already installed windows 11 on my old PC but the screen stuck after 5 to 7 minutes but the cursor can only be moved. Can you please help ? or is it my old graphic card doing this ?

Great video Brian! I used this method on a 4th Gen Intel laptop yesterday. Runs well. I am sure when the next version of Win11 releases it will probably break the system. I am doing this for testing purposes. Cheers!

Working flawlessly. Many thanks 😊

Awesome simple video. Saved my old pc from uggly windows 10. Thank you!

Worked like a charm! Thanks
