Leo, a couple of points. When running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, you will get regular Windows Updates. However, the yearly features updates to new builds, have to be manually and installed, as they're not available in Windows Update. I've been running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware for months and have had no issues because of the unsupported hardware and it's noticeably faster than Windows 10. Windows 11 itself does need recent hardware to run, Microsoft have just decided to limit what hardware it can be installed on.

i am running Windows 11 on i3 2nd gen

it doesnt work

It doesnt work. The PC health care App still says doesnt have TPM2.0

I did the steps but it kept showing I need the TPM 2.0 enabled

Leo, I trust your judgement on all things PC related. Is there a compelling reason, other than specialized apps, to switch to 11? I like 10 just fine.

Good video. In my laptop Windows 10 is activated with digital lisence key. After installing Windows 11 does this lisence will remain intact? One more question, if I keep some files and folders in the desktop, will they remain as it as after installation. Thanks

License key: It should. Files: depends on exactly HOW you install 11. If it's an upgrade files should remain, but why risk it? BACK UP FIRST.

Will this work in a win 10 virtual machine to upgrade to win 11? The only thing I could get running was a live version of win 11.

I know some users have installed 11 on older machines with no tpm, so I would be interested anyone's thoughts on the user risk under these circumstances? I have an older machine that runs really great so that might be an option for me support for 10 stops.

It's no riskier than running Windows 10. TPM adds some capability, but not having one doesn't remove anything.

Your mileage may vary, but just general warning - be careful when trying to enable TPM for your machine. My motherboard is only about three years old. I tried enabling some of these features after doing a fresh Windows 10 install. I was debugging a different issue. The features I was enabling/disabling did not clearly say "TPM" anywhere and after I toggled them I lost my windows installation. I have never seen that happen before while changing bios/eufi settings so it took me by surprise. Had to reinstall Windows all over again. So take that "Do a backup" advice seriously especially for this.

That CPU is unlucky to be on precisely the wrong side of the official support divider. I'd stick with Windows 10 for two more years on that machine, and if it's still running well enough you could always try the method mentioned in the video. It's also likely that Windows 12 or something similarly named will also be out by then.

​@@franciscohorna5542 I doubt that very much. Because windows will have Windows 11 & 12 to support. They will have no interest in Windows 10 after 2 years.

My issue is that I can't enable TPM on my current win10 state - the motherboard / chip is capable, the harddrive (SSD) is the right file structure... but if I enable TPM on the Bios, win10 won't boot. i can go disable it again and it's perfectly happy, but it absolutely will not launch windows 10 with it enabled. Im sure if I did a clean win11 install it would all be fine - but I have a ton of VSTs and plugins that can only be activated a limited number of times that need installing registering in various places - way too complicated to 'back up' in a way that's not also including the OS. So I have all the right hardware... but if I switch it all on I can't get into windows 10 in order to do the Win11 update, and unless it IS switched on Win11 insists that I don't have the necessary elements. Incredibly frustrating.

Hi Leo If i may pick your vast knowledge. Here is the scenario i am faced with. Ok let me delve into the model in question first. Linx 12X64. Now by all accounts this is not an old device by any stretch 2017 i think the release date was. and the specs would mean it meets some of the requirements 4GB ram 64GB SSD. TPM is 2.0 on these devices but the CPU or processor is intel Atom x5 Z8350. The system itself is running win 10 22H2v2 (may feature update) Researched and tried numerous methods to no avail even through the recommended REGEDIT PROTOCOLS to bypass the requirements. while everything does indicate it is downloading win 11, at the end of the process i get a blue page which gives multiple options to choose language and region followed promptly by Repair or turn off. Once booted i get the page unable to install win 11. The other method i have tried iis a clean install. However, i have come accross a brick wall there too. Once the window pops up with a list of drives available to install a clean copy there are no partition drives in the window, no primary drive, nothing It can't locate any drives to install it on. Could this issue be in any way related to win10 22H2V2 being in conflict with win 11 22H2v2 or is it something Microsoft has programmed in to prevent win 11 being installed on unsupported devices? Sorry to be a bit long winded, i just though some detail might be prudent to be able to garner some possible feedback on the issue. Much appreciated for any light you could shed on this problem.

Don't really have an answer for you, but I will say that the technique outlined in this video (and, in fact, techniques available elsewhere) that allow you to install Windows 11 on some older CPUs doesn't mean it'll install on ALL older CPUs. You might be in that latter camp.

You don't need to go mucking around in the Registry to run 11 on "unsupported" hardware. All that needs to be done is remove the reference in a copy of the setup files for 11 that checks hardware requirements. I've done this on several machines (even without ANY TPM) and it works fine & they get updates just fine too. There are many tutorials here on KZread that demonstrate this procedure in detail. Also, it strains credulity to suggest that an attempt to stimulate purchases of new hardware was not part of the reason behind the new requirements. Just sayin'...

Hardware often outlives the software on it and that can leave new security features unimplemented until new hardware comes along. I'm not defending MS - I have a pile of Win 10 boxes (3 desktop, 1 laptop) and all are 2018 and up but I can't afford to replace motherboards in all of these systems and then try to reinstall Windows 11. Windows 10 Home ceases October 14, 2025. I'm sad because I by good hardware and traditionally, I've run good OSes (XP SP3, Windows 7) for a long, long time on those because the hardware was good enough. This seems like a real cash cow for computer sellers if it means either replacing the motherboards and some components (and then MS carping that its another PC even if they are forcing it on me...).

nothing wrong whit windows 11 whats wrong is people brain
