This video will show you how to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. This does not just include fresh installs but can be upgraded from Windows 10 as well. I upgrade a system that fails all the controversial hardware requirements. It doesn't support TPM, UEFI, or have a CPU on the approved list and it runs great.

For anyone having issues following this guide, I recommend following my newer guide on this. It's way easier. kzhead.info/sun/a51yftGQf31pin0/bejne.html
why would I install win11 on anything?
@@skeetorkiftwon I can't answer that question for you but I have done several videos going over the features of Windows 11 as well as some videos on things I don't like about it. Check them out.
@@CyberCPU Lol! No thanks. I haven't even seen a computer running Windows of any flavour this year, and it's already mid-June. Most people I know will not touch it with a barge pole, unless it happens to be on their office computers, and they can do nothing about it.
@@RWBHere Then why are you watching Windows content?
Does this installation wipe existing files on windows 10 or does everything carry over to windows 11 unharmed?
I just subscribed. I love how you make everything easy to follow. And, I like the honest assessment, when after you've told us how to do this, you then tell us the reasons we might not want to.
Glad they got your windows 11 video back up. Thanks for the content!
Thanks for the comment.
This went very smoothly for me and I didn't even have an issue with terminal! Great video!
Hats off to you, I tried many other tutorials and none worked, where is detailed tutorial bypassed every thing for me. Thank you very much
What i appreciate about this guy is the fact that while he tells you how to do this or that he also tells you that you may encounter some hiccups,,,thats so important because it gives you a heads up incase you wanna change your mind or not.
Glad to see it didn't take too long to get your video back online!
Amazing video. I've been trying to upgrade my unsupported machine for over 1 year and after watching your video and followed your instructions, IT WORKED !! Thank you so much
This was the easiest guide to follow I just added Windows 11 Step by Step and it looks beautiful. All features are working plus my finger print login. It's AWESOME! Thanks 👍
Greetings from the UK. Thanks for an excellent, easy to follow tutorial. Worked flawlessly on my spare eight year old Acer Aspire E1. More power to you Sir!
How's the experience? I also want to upgrade my Thinkpad T450 (8 years old laptop) from windows 10 to windows 11 but I'm too scared to switch. Your experience and knowledge might help me. Thank you
@@benjohn6030 Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply. So far, so good. Everything still running smoothly. I think your T450 is Core i5, so should run even better than my Aspire (which is only i3). My Aspire was just being used for web browsing, so really I had nothing to lose. Hope it goes well for you.
@@annegrey-blackman5934 hello i got a new easy way to do it faster You can usually bypass it by doing this. SHIFT + F10 > cmd > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > SETUP > New > Key Rename Key TO "LabConfig" now create these. all of them he to be DWORD 32-bit Value New > Rename To BypassCPUCheck, Value Data = 1, Base = Hexadecimal by now. Switch bases to Decimal Now you need these: BypassRAMCheck, Data base = 1 BypassTPMCheck, Data base = 1 BypassSecureBootCheck, Data base 1. Now Begin setup. NOW IT WORKS EXACTLY FINE!
@@benjohn6030 hi if you switch to windows 11 on Unsupported device you will not be able to play game with anticheat software like fortnite/valorant
A lot of modern anti cheat stuff wants to run at kernel level, a lot more want to do a lot of really uncomfortable data mining/analytics on your PC. Always another revenue stream, you know? Great video. I have no intention of using 11, but I live for workarounds for this kind of stuff. :)
Really appreciate the level of detail with your instructions, my Windows 11 is running fine and terminal fired up without a hitch!
It worked! I applied this method a week ago and 'till now everything is working beautifully smooth, secure and updated, thank you so much.
I came across your video on how KZhead canceled this video. As a content creator myself, I feel you pain. Fortunately Google reinstated your video. It is most helpful. Thank you. I love your teaching style, your thoroughness and simplicity in which you present your information. So helpful. Thank you again. I have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to going back and see what you have posted. Looking forward to your video on loading Windows 11 on a Raspberry Pie. Thank You Again. Oh, and wear your beard how you want. Doesn't matter to us.
For me, I'm close to upgrade my PC so there's no need for me to bypass it. But this video will help a couple of friends of mine that won't be upgrading their PC soon. Thanks for the video, sharing it right now.
Thank you so much ! It works perfectly on my Fujitsu E458. Even the security bit works fine - I didnt have to worry about the last part. Its stable, and ive got all my programs downloaded and running. I am so so grateful.❤❤❤❤❤❤ (UK)
Congratulations on hitting 1 million views in this video, Rich! This video is the first video I watched from your channel. Thank you for making useful tech tutorials and God bless you!
Worked for me! Running Win11 on mac, booting from Boot Camp. It's great that KZhead saw their mistake and returned this video, I think Microsoft has already changed their requirements for installing, many are going around bs anyway . . . keep up the great work.
Please stop the agony, windows on a mac….
I like what you do. You do very good guides with information enough to make real bonds like me manage this if i want to. But you never sound condescending ever. Love it
More than five years I have struglled a lot to fix my pc, even I lost some videos and a lot of files I had saved. I tried some maintenance but I got no solution even my window insatallation was corrupted and I have also lost two laptops b/c of these previously but now b/c of your support and other similar tutorials I have learned how to fix all the problems and my Pc is clean and faster than I expeted. Thank you for all your support and good advices. GBU!
Thank you so much!! I tried a Win11 install on an older lap top and nothing worked . . . until I followed your instructions.
Windows terminal missing is actually quite common with in-place upgrades, even on supported hardware, I've got a 3950x system that upgraded itself to windows 11 Pro and windows terminal did not work. Remember, if you are fine with wiping everything out, or if you have a boot drive, and a data drive, you can generally just do a fresh install windows 11 from an un-modified ISO, as long as your computer has 2 threads, 4GB of RAM, and i think an 80GB HDD? I have windows 11 on an IBM Thinkpad X60 Tablet which originally shipped with Windows XP, but because it has an early 64 bit Core Duo with 4GB of RAM(only 3GB usable) windows 11 just installed without issue, now getting drivers to work was harder than expected, normally XP drivers just worked in windows 10, but with windows 11 i had some issues with the pen-touch screen and a few other things that i dont remember off the top of my head
Wow...from A to Z everything went great. Thank you so much for this video tutorial 👍
Glad it helped.
it wasvery thorough, got it installed while watching it step-by-step! wonderful! worked well as well as the terminal and windows security without having to reinstall or modify it.. thnaks man!
Thanks for showing us how to do that, and thanks for the advice at the end about thinking twice if it's your main machine. Decided not to bother for now for that reason.
Glad it helped.
MS said b4 Win11 came out - reminder only: They are removing 32 bit completely that's the 2nd biggest reason they made Win11. IMHO opinion they should make something for lower end, because only HARDWARE companies are benefiting not so much MS .
@@adamtajhassam9188 they removed 32bit in Windows 10 as well. 32bit is limited to 3Gb of ram. Windows 10 should have a minimum of 4Gb and honestly should really have 8Gb or more.
This guide was perfect. If you can follow directions, there’s no reason why this shouldn’t work for anyone. I just downloaded Windows 11 on a 10 year old Gateway using your guide and its working wonderfully. PS. I just subscribed.😁
Dang, I guess I have no excuses!
Does it have performance issue or some bugs ?
@@ethaniel4505 It may vary, no issues here but I remember it had hit some performance issues on my friend's older i5-6300.
Does this affect Windows updates?
I have installed windows 11 in calcutator ty ❤❤❤
I recently used this method (late Jan 2023) and I didnt have to reinstall PowerShell or run that fix for Windows Security. Thanks CyberCPU, you bloody ROCK!! 🤘
Man!!... I like the easy way how you explain something that could be difficult for other. I will try it and see what happens. Thanks for this video 🙏
Thanks so much for this video! It popped up in my suggested box this morning and after quickly checking it out, I decided to try it! And I'm pleased to say that your excellent explanation and tutorial now has my 7 year old Alienware laptop running win11! This is my first experience with win11 and I appreciate you showing me how to get it working on my old machine. I also did this on my HTPC and had the same result! Fun way to fill the day! Thanks alot 🙂
Toad, how djew get the RGB lights to work on the Alienware after the win 11 hack? Mine won't do it...Please and thanks.
@@hessmir5270 from memory, I downloaded the windows 10 Instaler from the dell site, and installed as normal. If you're having trouble though, uninstall any version you have now, get the new one from the dell site (be sure to get your exact laptop model though) and reinstall. Also, dont let windows update try and get the software for you.... It never works.
My 10 year old PC ran windows 11 just fine and even had it running the day it was released. Only issues I had was with windows assuming I had uefi bios when it kept trying to run scan disk at startup after a power outage. There were fixes for this issue but it required some specific software booted from usb to scan the disk and reset the flag on the drive. I recommend using windows on systems at least with a uefi bios as it causes fewer issues with my testing
Thanks Rich/CyberCPU Tech, this worked perfectly well, and I upgraded from Windows 10 Pro to 11 on a 7-year-old PC, in fact both Terminal/Powershell and Windows Security worked without the tweaks you mentioned around the end of the video. 👍👍
Thank you so very much! I was finally able to upgrade my HP EliteBook to match my Lenovo Yoga. Save me when running software for my client requiring an updated Windows OS. The instructions were easy to follow and the pauses were right on cue.
Great Video Rich! It upsets me that MS would rigidly enforce this when really it could be done under a caveat-basis! Our landfill/recycle centers don't need more computer cardcases to process. Most PCs produced in the last decade still can perform valuable service--leaving them vulnerable completely is a crime because they can re-infect...
Just about all computer up to and ever over 10 Years Old will run perfectly fine once they have a SSD put in them....
yup agree on this totally
Thanks very much for this. Just finished installing Windows 11 on a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad T530 with a quad core i7-3630QM with 16GB RAM on a 256GB mSata drive. Works like a charm. Your instructions were very easy to follow and complete!
Currently I have a Lenovo Thinkpad 61P running an up to date Windows10. But it started life with XP Professional! So naturally I am excited about getting this on Windows 11. Thanks very much.
@@zakstev It must run like crap
@@illegalsmirf I installed an SSD a couple of years ago so it is quite snappy.
@@zakstev bro I feel u lol I have a old msi laptop that I messed up the w10 upgrade process from windows 8...it kept looping when it finished Goodbye bricked harddrive...hello new ssd I was sooo happy lol
@@AznJungleFever Yes, that did the trick for me. And my secret for getting it into Windows 11 is a KZhead video that tells you how to do it.
Love these videos! They are so helpful. Wish I could find videos like yours on my other technical issues!
I've just upgraded my Windows 10 to 11 on my Lenovo ThinkPad X260. At this time, the Terminal and Security Dashboard issues were fixed already, and I did not do anything on both. When I tried to install Terminal as instructed on the video, it tells me I have a more recent version. and was able to open the Security dashboard without any problems. Thank you very much. The instructions are clear. As long as the instructions are followed, it works. This method is still working as of February 2023. Thanks again!
The explanation is so clear that a novice can follow easily. Good job!
Actually if you use rufus and use the download option it has to ability to remove all checks and legally 100% activate from upgrading from windows 10 to windows 11 and the system requirements are stupid because windows 11 is basically windows 10 with a new start menu and if you are a gamer please listen windows 11 hates VR so if you have any VR headsets and want to upgrade wait unless you want stuttering video
@Tim Supovitz your welcome
What is Rufus and where do I find it?
I want to thank you for this. Installed it on my Dell Latitude e6410 (10 years old). It took a while to set everything up though, but im very pleased so far. Thanks again!
What are your experience so far? Is it stable? Are there any performance throwbacks? I want to install Win11 on my 7250.
iam about to is it all right any performace downgrade and is hdmi port working
I did all the steps you described, it does work !!! Thank you Running w11 now not a problem Ron
Beautiful stuff you got going here - following your instructions, I hit a home run... Though, in my case, I had to go through several tries - the issue was with failing updates. It finally worked after I chose the option to postpone updates till after the install... and now, I'm here on my sweet looking Windows 11 pro... I'm running the updates wizard and all is going well.. The only issue with my HW is the CPU incompatibility... Thanks, thanks, thanks...
It has been failing for me also. I chose not right now for the updates because I kept getting data error when it’s PASS HALFWAY TO BEING INSTALLED. So I’m doing this for by he fourth time and I hope it works.
Rufus has an option to create bootable USB drive and skip the TPM and Secure boot check :)
Yes, but it only works for fresh installs. I tried upgrading with it several times and it always failed.
@@CyberCPU Thats great info. Ive been looking for a way to upgrade customers without fresh install
@@CyberCPU Well, my SSD is partitioned to C and D and all my files are on D disk, so I never reinstall it from within windows. I format C drive and install it that way. I have windows 11 on flash drive, but I never actually tried if it would work on my similar ''potato'' :D
@@Mr_-_KiNg Windows upgrade works way better then it has in the past. I have very few issues upgrading.
Man fresh install is better option for me, i get back all my settings automatically. Even they automatically activate my os for me, i only have to sign in to my account.
Thanks Rich, I had few troubles when I followed your video,but now I is working great ,on a old potato!
really appreciate this tutorial & video, I really don't like Windows but have to learn it for my skill set in building old towers of the x58 to x79 variety. Plenty of OLD fast Boards with Xeon Cpus out there that don't need to run games, but this really helped give my old x58 Supermicro with a Xeon 6 core, dates back to 2011?? Barely first gen intel but the Win11 install is quite flawless and the term window worked without the annoying bug you mentioned. Happy camper here!! & thanks so much.
The oldest system I've had Windows 11 running was on an AMD Athlon II X2 255 from 2010. I did a clean install using DISM /Apply-Image, a workaround that doesn't ask any questions or check system requirements. You can't upgrade an existing Windows 10 installation that way though, so this video shows that it's not impossible to do an upgrade on unsupported hardware even if there are more steps involved.
this media creation tool asks for nothing..it shows installing win 10 but actually installs win11 with no problems
I have windows 11 pro running on a motion computing le1700 from 2007. I upgraded from windows 10 pro, not clean install. kzhead.info/sun/q76xm9F6r4iKmZs/bejne.html

How bout i3 4th gen?
Mine was an i5-2500. Just created a USB Stick with Rufus and disabled Windows 11 requirements and Telemetry with two click....dunno what people act like this would be any hard
Helpful video -- thanks. FYI at 8:40 you confuse parenthesis with quotation marks. These are parentheses: ( ) These are quotation marks: " "
Parentheses could also be a dash (anything that shows extra information)
@@godlyjblox2694 Must disagree. While a "parenthesis" is the extra information you refer to, and may be separated by dashes or commas, "parentheses" (as punctuation) refers exclusively to the curved brackets "(" and ")"
Amazing completed on an old Alienware 17. So far so good and thank you so much for helping.
Thank you, I have a 2016 Lenovo Z51-70 Laptop and this video was a lifesaver for me, I just want to say thank you for this tutorial everything went smoothly I even had the powershell functional after upgrading to windows 11 ♥
I followed your instructions, and everything worked, although the "few minutes" turned into several hours. Thanks!
This is a great tutorial, and I'll probably give it a go on my i5-7400 system (approx 3 years old), as the processor doesn't meet Win11 requirements. I have a feeling that Microsoft are going to push people into purchasing newer hardware they can ill afford. Not a good move by them, considering you've shown it can run on pretty much any reasonable system. 👍
It will run on anything that will run Windows 10 for sure. The hardware requirements are stupid.
@@CyberCPUwill win11 on i5 4200. It ran win 10 smoothly
This actually worked! Thank you sir!
Great video, easy to follow and it worked great! Thanks - buying a T-shirt!

not easy but yes
Thank you. We've come to rely on savants like yourself to help us through these tricky modern waters. Superb stuff as always.
Thank you so much for this awesome video!! I now have windows 11 installed on my pc that doesn't have the requirements for it!!
I recently installed windows 11 on a 5-year-old Dell laptop. The most recent release of RUFUS has a setting where you can strip all this off while making the installation media. Works like a charm.
Question: wonder if I can modify the iso file with msmd - to make a more lean installation first and then run the github patch described in this video on that??? RUFUS does sth similar to MSMD right?
@@mainstreampropaganda7518 I don't know. All I know is I ran the most recent windows 11 downloaded in RUFUS removed the TPM and installed it on my older laptop. Runs great and so far I am not noticing any issues. I am also not noticing anything missing like the terminal. Looks like a clean install. I do understand that the RUFUS install MUST be a fresh install.
@@THE-michaelmyers Do your updates work?
@@OriginalMergatroid Yes, they do. In fact, I had several last Tuesday. The thing is, and I can't overemphasize this enough! Make sure you have the critical drivers that will work. Luckily the Dell windows 10 drivers installed correctly in 11 for me.
Clean Install or Upgrade ?
Thanks for the video. Respectfully, since it is important to accurately type commands in order for them to execute, I offer the following comment. At the 8:37 mark in the video, the character between the following two asterisks * " * is a quotation mark, not a parenthesis as described in the video.
Your ther best brother great video used your other version tested it and works 110% again great vid works better then anything out ther i dont play games do great job on my old dell studuo 1545 thanks again dave👍👍👍👍👍
Bro Tysm! All games files and saves are still here! Ypu got a new sub! And yes! It works perfectly i had no issues again tysm the system works perfectly.
I suggest that anyone trying this to first do a full backup of their system. Even if you do everything right, something could go wrong.
Completely agree. I should have included that warning in the video. I'll pin your post in hopes people take your advice.
I tried in VirtualBox... on my i5-4460... and it ran just fine, gave it 8 GB of RAM, and made a 80 GB partition
Don't keep your data files in the default Windows locations. Set up a folder outside of Windows. That way if you have to reinstall you don't have to move your data.
@@writerpatrick It sounds like you are implying to not do a full backup. Is that correct?
@@writerpatrick I back my data up to a NAS on my network and then the NAS gets backed up to the cloud. I've lost all of my data too many times to take a chance. Even better I always back up all of my KZhead data to my NAS, the cloud, and an external drive. I work entirely too hard on these videos for there not to be multiple copies just in case one of my backups doesn't work.
Excellent video! Thank you for the time and effort you put into it.

Lol?
Hey i want to Thank You for this video. I have tried a few other ones with no luck at all. The PowerShell was a little tricky but all i had to do was hit the pause and start button. Again THANKS
Thanks men after several failed attempts to install 22h2 , after following your video instructions i finally able to install 22h2 without any issues love you thanks for the video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad it helped.
I think theres a much easier way to do this - worked for me a few months ago to u/g my win10pro to win11 - after downloading the win11 installer to USB, look for the \sources folder and delete the file "appraiserres.dll" - then when you run setup DON'T allow it to download updates during the install/upgrade (otherwise it re-downloads the check file and tells you you're unsupported again) - your system should upgrade fine - when its done you can use windows update as normal. works fine on my amd 6100 with no tpm etc and a couple of other older laptops. your mileage may vary, but I've had no probs.
Glad they decided to reinstate the video. Wise choice.
This video helped alot since I first watched it a few months back. Needed to revisit thiswalkthrough because alot more people asking to have their OS upgrade.
I would recommend using my newer video. It's much easier.
WOW Rich!! Really great info!! You rock my brother!!!!
Thanks for posting! Was waiting around for a quick and easy method for getting Windows 11 Pro onto an older Lenovo T430 w/16GB of RAM. The laptop is around 5 years old but has plenty of beef for Windows 11 (and it's definitely not my daily driver laptop). This was what I was waiting for and finally got Win 11 installed onto that potato. Windows 11 is running great on that older T430!
The question many of us have and have yet to see anyone really explain it is what exactly makes Windows 11 so much better than Windows 10 that we should even bother upgrading? It requires all this BS just to install it and all its other BS hardware requirements and from what I have seen does not really offer anything substantial to justify going through the pain to upgrade! Seems to me the reason no one is doing a side by side comparison is because there really isnt one! So I ask you CyberCPU Tech, what the hell is so damn special with Windows 11 that would compel me to suffer the installation of it?
Very valid point. Been wondering this myself.
I won't be downgrading to Win 11 because of even more built in spyware and control, I use win 10 pro that has most of the telemetry etc blocked now, but I already use Linux as well and will be moving over to that full time in a year or so I am still using win 10 for only 1 piece of software at the moment I think.
@@PhoebeAvro Totally on board with you! Sounds like we have almost the exact same philosophy, only difference is I have 3 programs that need Windows 10 and wont run on Linux. Hoping that Microsoft has finally pissed off enough people that a proper emulator is created for Linux to run our software or better yet developers wake up that its no longer in their best interest to continue to ignore Linux and start supporting it! I have been done and over Windows for a very long time and have been dreaming of the day it is dethroned permanently!
It's not worth the headache if something goes wrong and also can't update. I'll wait until I get a new laptop in a couple of years that will have it preinstalled anyways. Not in any kind of rush right now to have my OS look like a Mac.
Windows 11 is much better than Windows 10 for the only reason that it has an expiry date of 2031 while Windows 10 will expire in 2025. That is why one should change, unless you are keen to replace computers that work well just to follow the last computer trend. Besides everything that runs on Windows 10 will run on 11, just the desktop enviroment is different, as like many linux distros differ one from another.
awesome! Thanks for the clear instructions - wish I found this video 3 months ago!!
Thank you so much bro. And keep rocking 🔥🔥
What an interesting, and thoroughly complex video. I think I'm now convinced to continue with Linux, and just keep Win10 as a backup. Thanks though.
This is hardly more complex then Linux. 🤣😂
I can't believe this comment LOL.
@@CyberCPU Really?! When I bought a Win laptop - just for the odd time I'd need Windows - it took me two days to remove bloat and remove their "phone home" functionality. Then it tried to push an "update" on it which the poor 2GB/32GB machine couldn't swallow. In the meantime it's COMPLETELY eaten the 10 - 12 gigs it came with (after clearing it out) for no apparent reason. I'd have to hack the thing to keep it functional. Now it starts up with some blue screen, "persuading" me to update. But I've given up on it. I got my Linux machine, fired it up and that was basically it. Just a few apt's to get my beloved apps back. Updating is done while I'm working - and I can postpone it whenever I want. My wifes corporate laptop though FORCED her to upgrade. We left it for 24h, but it never revived. She had to get back to work (1.5h commute one way) to get a fresh one - in the height of the pandemic (sic!) So at my home, Windows track record of "being easy to use" - let alone "being reliable" - is pretty bleak.
@@HansBezemer What you probably experienced with the way Windows handles memory is reserved memory. When you open an application that application obviously takes memory. Then when you close the application Windows leaves that application in memory and marks it reserved. This is so if you open the same program again it doesn't have to put the program in memory again. If that memory is needed for something else then Windows releases it. It's actually a pretty ingenious system. I explained it in my videos about sysmain a while back.
@@CyberCPU Thanks for the explanation! However, either switching it off or a dedicated swap partition would have my preference.
The minimum CPU requirements might be an issue in the future. The kernel guys probably want to tweak the compiler flags to generate faster code, which may rely on CPUs newer instruction sets etc.
Nah. Newer instruction sets are makink maximum 10-15% difference in computing power according to Jim Keller... I have windows 11 on a 2010 Xeon... zero problems... duh, windows 11 is practically a windows 10 skin...
Does this method work for an i5 4200m?

Really interesting, I have many Virtual Machines on a 4 years old Double Socket server that has CPUs not supported and this option may make me save a lot of money! I have one question: what about Windows Updates? Works well ? Maybe in the future some update may lock your installation because of some incompatibility check ? I think this issue is quite difficult to answer and may happend to be a big problem. What's your opinion ?
good question
Thanks bro i succesfully upgraded to windows 11 ! you gained a sub :)
Nice Video! Lots to do though. I like doing what you used to do with moving the install file. Only I moved the install file from a windows 10 ISO to my Windows 11 install on my USB and I haven't had a problem. Very stable.
Tip in powershell/command prompt: Using the up or down arrow keys will cycle through the commands you've run recently. This list stays until you close powershell/cmd.
It's been known for a while that pretty much anything dual core and up will run Windows 11. I've had it running on a 12 year old machine since they announced it. Of course many older computers will work better under W10 than W11. And Microsoft will supposedly put a watermark on the desktop of unsupported computers in a future update.
I don't really recommend a dual core. It will work but you will have high CPU usage most of the time. I don't even recommend a dual core in Windows 10.
@@STONE6969 A dual core i7 is still hyper threaded so it has 4 logical cores. With that said I have no idea why Intel made a dual core i7. I've seen that CPU before and it boggles my mind why they made it in the first place.
@@CyberCPU Because it has i7 in the name therefore appears to be better than it is. It's called misleading your customers, common business practices in tech I'm afraid. Anything to save a buck.
@@CyberCPUWhat to do with a batch of quad core CPUs with a large amount of broken cores, sell them as dual cores for Wallyworld budget PCs and similar. FX-8*** and FX-6*** ring any bells !?

Thanks so much. explained step by step and it was really easy. Good work!! ❤
Hi. Nice to see that KZhead reconsidered their decicion about this vid. I was planning to install Win11 in my new SSD but I won't. The reason? As you well said, their system requirements suck. And now they're threatening to fill your screen with watermarks in case your system is not compatible. They can shove their threats up where they see fit. How much does it cost to get a compatible PC? W're talking about a processor, mobo and memory (if you decide to keep your other parts). And let's not mention the price of the license, because the win10 license is tied to your actual hardware, and new hardare means a new license key. So I'll stick to my good old reliable win 10. 😁😁
Check out my community tab. I give instructions on how to get rid of the watermark on unsupported PCS.
I haven't paid for Windows since Windows 7 release. Free upgrade to Windows 8, free upgrade to Windows 8.1, free upgrade to Windows 10 and now free upgrade to Windows 11. I use a Pro version though, not sure if hardware rules are different. Because I have used it on different hardware. Else a Windows Pro license key can be had for about $40 on various websites.
Just get 11 pro ISO, create it bootable on a drive and try it out... just do it offline. If it doesn't pan out then you're not out anything but time and you still have your new SSD waiting for another install, or backup, or clone what you already got... either way. Not gonna know until you try.
Worked super fine for me! I do some coding stuff, not sure terminal will work properly with IDEs but I think it'll be fine. One thing though, while installation I selected "Delete everything" option, but it deleted things selectively, which is very absurd. Ps. It takes hours to launch in a potato can, dw. Thanks for this video, super helpful!
Great video, I got a windows 11 pc and it's running great. Appreciate the video brother!
love this man thank you so much super helpful and too the point!
I feel like some of those requirements are so in a future update once Win 10 is retired they can "Upgrade" Win 11 with features that do depend on those hardware requirements and use them. Unsupported systems will be easy to just "Well you bypassed our minimum hardware checks so not our problem, get updated hardware". Those features will not be things we (users & IT) want.
I don't care so much about future "features" as I do about Security Updates. If I got your message about Security Updates, I would be *very* unhappy indeed. Huh?
Or just find any old Windows7 product key from recycled computer and use it for 10 or 11, works Home for Home and Pro for Pro
Thank you so much! You not only went in the perfect speed but everything worked flawlessly! Just subbed.
Thumbs Up! You saved my day. Thank you very much for this amazing walkthrough.
You can make an iso with Windows 10 featured here but when you want to make a DVD of it without TPM you can do so as well. I'm running Windows 7 - 11 and it works no issues with security too also great video. John
This is a highly educational video. However, I still have no desire to run Windows 11. Thanks. I've been running Linux Mint Cinnamon on my second PC, and I like it. Microsoft should get nervous. 😂
Linux mint cinnamon is by far the most polished distro in my opinion. Everything just works so seamlessly. Btw have you tried linux mint XFCE? it's way more responsive. Also i've found that peppermint OS is very very fast but it lacks quality of life improvements.
@@sifatullah7568 Thanks for the quick response. I haven't tried Mint XFCE, but I I'll try it next. What I do is to load different OS's on to external M.2 drives so whenever I want to try a new OS I only have to plug it into the USB port and reboot. 👍
@@OlettaLiano I've a decent pc but the only issue is I have a nvidia gpu. And linux doesn't play nice with it. That's why I only have to try lightweight distros even after having a decent pc :")
@@sifatullah7568 My main PC has a Ryzen 3900X and a RX 5700 XT, both water cooled by separate custom loops. Thus far, Linux has not given them any problems.
@@OlettaLiano Yeah linux is very good with amd gpu. Nvidia suck as a company!
Dont forget that at anytime Microsoft could push an update which could disable a Win11 installed on unsupported hardware ... So you probably need to disable any update on that kind of installation, and the risk then is far too high.
Risk of update bricking windows is always there... No problems running windows 7 today. And I know it's not the risk you were talking about, but it's not that hard to avoid viruses.
Thank You so much, Sir! it's so easy to follow and it helps a lot!
Presice. Clear. Helpful. Why didnt i stumble on your video 3 days ago? Lol Cheers Sir!
