  • Video guide on how to upgrade to Windows 11 official release version on October 5th 2021, on a computer with an unsupported processor and no TPM enabled.
    This method should work for systems using legacy boot, non-secure boot UEFI, or other issues which do not meet the Windows 11 requirements but can install Windows 10.

    Just another thanks for this guide. Rather simple, actually. Update went smooth. I don't see any issues after the update. One thing I did right away was check for updates.
    I would not recommend completely ignoring the security concerns that prevent Windows 11 to install; specifically the TPM technology; as this only makes the system that much more secure. However, not being able to install just because the processor doesn't meet the standard didn't make sense to me; the main issue I had.

    Thanks so much for posting this tutorial - it worked perfectly for me. All my files are intact and my version of Windows (now Windows 11) is still activated and security updates have downloaded with no problems! I was looking for an alternative method as it wouldn't upgrade normally because my processor (Ryzen) wasn't supported. After following these instructions everything seems to be running perfectly under Windows 11. Thanks again - worked a treat!

    Thanks for publishing this brilliant hack! I had enabled secure boot and TPM but my CPU was unsupported. My installation died twice - the first time it reverted back to Windows 10 (not sure what happened as I let it upgrade unattended) and the second time my video driver caused the screen to go blank (though this has happened to me with Windows 10). The third time though, the upgrade succeeded and I now have Win 11 on a computer with an "unsupported CPU" (AMD 2200g). I don't understand why this CPU is unsupported as Win 11 runs just fine. Thanks again.

As fast as Windows 10 was on it. It has also done some windows updates too. So as long as your hardware works fine and your upgrading from a fully working windows 10 then it should upgrade to Windows 11 fine and is fully activated.

    To everyone who's doing this, if you did it right, you'll open the setup.exe file... You click on "change how windows setup downloads updates" and change that to "not right now"
    Click next
    It'll say "checking your PC", then will have you accept the notices and license terms
    After you accept those, it'll do a "making sure you're ready to install" thing for awhile
    After that, you'll see it says Windows 11 and keep all files under the "Ready To Install" part
    It'll say "to recap, you've chosen to:"
    - install windows 11
    - keep personal files and apps
    That's how you know you did it right :)
    Ignore anything that says Windows 10 even after you click install, it'll actually install Windows 11 just like the video says!

Are these truly Windows10 or are they Windows11 just being reported as Win10 because the system 'believes' it to be running Win10. Will any updates show "..for Windows 11" now .. and is it safe to install updates or not?

    Essentially you use the Windows 10 installer as a placeholder for Windows 11 and this works for unsupported PCs because Windows 11 is stripped of the hardware checks that prevent it from being installed on unlisted PCs. It can be done on most cases there are no issues with the processor being able to run Windows 11. If TPM and secure boot are present, they will be fully supported.

      Are you sure? I've heared, that if I have a unsupported CPU, Windows 11 won't give me future updates like even the important security ones. So these Computers would only be compatible in terms of using the operating system, not getting future updates for it though. My PC is running UEFI Secure Boot and I have TPM 2.0 enabled and every other system requirement for Windows 11 are met exept for my unsupported 6th gen Intel Processor. I'm scared of doing the update to Windows 11 now because I don't want to search for future updates manually and install them manually.

      Microsoft isn’t insisting on having an approved processor but it is enforcing requirements for TPM and secure boot. PCs without the latter will be shown as being in an unsupported state.

    I used your method as inspiration for a fresh install.
    1: Prepare 2 usb drives, first with windows 10 install, second with windows 11 install.
    2: Boot form the windows 10 install USB driver.
    3: Select your language
    4: Swap your windows 10 usb drive for your windows 11 usb drive.
    5: select the version you want. Here it will say "windows 10 home" etc, so select home or pro, don't worry about the windows 11 part.
    6: install will proceed and install the windows 11 for you.

    Yes, that works well. But, guys! You won't be able to access windows security including windows defender, and its settings, etc. You can't turn off defender in order to crack programs like Adobe, etc. Plus, windows 11 will erase all your restore points. Don't believe that this would happen after 10 days of upgrading. It already happened to mine on the same day.
    Keep windows 10, or backup all your files before upgrading so that you can get back to 10 with no worries in case you get disappointed by win 11.
