How to Upgrade Your Unsupported PC to Windows 11
The benefits of Windows 11’s enhanced interface and security can renew an older PC in a practical but unofficial capacity.
With Microsoft’s strict hardware requirements for Windows 11, many users find their otherwise capable machines deemed incompatible due to factors like processor generation or security features like TPM 2.0.
For those who are reluctant to purchase new hardware but eager to explore the enhanced security, refined interface, and improved performance features of Windows 11, there's a workaround that might just breathe new life into your old system.
This process involves a bit of technical manoeuvring, so let's break down the steps in detail.
Step 1: Assess Hardware Compatibility
First, use Microsoft's PC Health Check tool to pinpoint why your PC doesn't meet Windows 11 requirements. Common issues include not having a compatible 64-bit processor, Secure Boot capability, or TPM 2.0.
Sometimes, these settings can be enabled in your PC’s BIOS if your hardware supports them, but isn’t currently activated.
