    let use allow the upgrading of windows11 on unsupported PC's

    You can upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware using customized ISO files. These files work the same on unsupported devices as those downloaded directly from Microsoft on supported hardware.

    Here are some steps to upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware:

    1. Download the Windows 11 ISO file from the Microsoft website
    2. Create a bootable USB drive or DVD with the Windows 11 ISO file
    3. Boot your PC from the bootable media
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 11
    You can also bypass the hardware checks by replacing the appraiserress.dll file in the Windows 11 ISO with the appraiserress.dll file from the Windows 10 ISO.

    Here are some other things you can try:

    • Disable requirements checks
    • Bypass requirements
    • Add AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU to the Mosetup folder in the registry, change value to 1, then run setup
    You can check if your device meets the minimum system requirements by downloading the PC Health Check app.

    Microsoft doesn't recommend installing Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. If you do, you might experience compatibility issues and your device might malfunction.

    Windows 11 Unofficial Upgrades for "unsupported" systems

    Not able to upgrade to Windows 11 due to unsupported CPU

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Microsoft were testing and adding some more processors, and did add some to the list, they indicate they have now completed testing, and no more processors will be added to the official list.

    It is possible to install Windows 11 on an unsupported processor using the Windows 11 ISO, I have Windows 11 installed on an unsupported Core i7 7700HQ processor and Windows 11 runs very smoothly, however Microsoft advise you do not do that, they will not be liable for any problems caused by doing that and also you would not receive Windows 11 updates, however, everyone that has installed Windows 11 on an unsupported processor is still receiving updates.

    Microsoft provide the required registry edit on this link to allow you to upgrade to Windows 11.
