Upgrade an Incompatible PC to Windows 11
In this video, I’ll show how you can upgrade a perfectly working computer that is running Windows 10 to Windows 11, even when the upgrade advisor reports that your computer lacks a supported processor. Although the steps here are from the Microsoft “Ways to install Windows 11” website, Microsoft does not officially recommend installing Windows 11 on devices that do not meet the listed system requirements. However, if you are a tech-savvy user with a deep familiarity and understanding of your system, you, too, can enjoy the benefits of Windows 11 without purchasing a new computer.
