Is it possible to upgrade (Tweak) to Windows 11 even though your PC is not eligible, doesn't meet the requirements? ******************** “When the law disarms good guys, bad guys rejoice.” ― Ted Nugent | ||

I wasted hours trying to tweak my 4 year old i5 computer. No luck. Couldn't do it. Stuck with Win 10. My system is just too old. No TPM, etc. My plan is to keep going with what I have and replace MoBo's in about 3 years so I can have a supported OS since Win 10 support ends in like Oct 2025. I will have new MoBo's about 4 months before this date. ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

I wanted to upgrade the MB but then I would have to upgrade the memory/CPU and wanted to avoid that. I guess I'll have to start saving money. ******************** “When the law disarms good guys, bad guys rejoice.” ― Ted Nugent | |||

You have until 2025 when Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10. And I assume you can still continue to run it after that. My laptop also isn't upgradable. I got it new in 2017 top of the line and I plan to use it until 2024 if I can. Otherwise, I hope Windows 11 will be out for at least 18 months before I have to replace it. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I'm thinking, for me personally, that as long as this computer keeps running on Windows 10, I have no reason to spend the $$$ to upgrade it or buy a new one just to run Windows 11. At least for what I use this computer for currently. I don't plan on doing any online gaming and really just shop, bank, check e-mail, and chat on a few forum boards. The issue will be if websites start changing their code in such a manner that somehow Windows 10 is no longer compatible. I'm not an HTML or website wizard, so I don't know if that's even a consideration... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

It's not so much horsepower, using the general definition of compute "horsepower," but other features are missing, at least in my case. TPM 2.0 being the main item. I think I can work with the UEFI requirement, but TPM is what I don't have, therefore, no Windows 11 for me. New MoBO needed. Unless I did something wrong, or do not know of a work-around. I worked with it for longer than I care to  ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

Actually you can bypass the TPM requirements but it takes a little work on the setup. Just check out the link I left ^^^ above. FWIW, there is a point where the hardware starts to be less effective and in general those same machines don't work all that well with W10 ether. Also - W11 vs W10 is not all that different. YMMV | |||

the link provided was excellent, this particular YouTube video worked fine on my desktop but no my laptop. The fix is pretty easy, download both Windows 10 & 11 ISO and overwrite a Windows 10 file with a Windows 11 file (install.wim) and run the setup. Pay attention to the first step, very important. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1FmfJpJsKw&t=303s ******************** “When the law disarms good guys, bad guys rejoice.” ― Ted Nugent | |||
