Windows 10: How can I upgrade to windows 11? My device has all the requirements except the hard drive...

As I said my device has all the requirements except the hard drive space58gb instead of 64gb. My laptop should have 64gb as specs but in reality the ssd is only 58. I'm on arm snapdragon 850, ok for windows 11 requirements. I can't upgrade trough external usb, i would like to upgrade with windows update or windows 11 setup. What can I do? Thanks.

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
