[@u.n.k.k]

I used this method yesterday when I saw your last video, it worked perfectly!

[@memstechtips]

Awesome to hear! Glad the video was helpful.

[@duidelik007]

Hey there my fellow South African. I am so excited about going to Win11 cause I have secure boot which is off now and I have TPM, but my AMD Ryzen 5 1600x CPU is not supported. I was so unsure in the past about upgrading. But after watching your video, I feel a bit more positive about trying it and not have to worry about loosing my stuff and also updating Win11 when I have upgraded. Thanks allot buddy. You are awesome. Have a great day. We all on KZbin watching your video appreciate your time that you put into showing us that we can upgrade with our unsupported devices. I am gonna download 24H2 now and upgrade.

[@memstechtips]

Yes Meneer thanks so much for the kind feedback, watching my videos and supporting my channel, I really appreciate it! I'm glad you find the videos useful and I hope you enjoy Windows 11!

[@fredfenwick7047]

I would still recommend that you back up your important data before performing a major Windows upgrade, a very interesting and informative video thank you for sharing.

[@inayahtube]

Million thanks! It’s great that I am able to successfully updated to Windows 11 24H2 on my laptop with unsupported hardware. This is truly great and amazing. I appreciate your expertise.

[@Kakeen]

Bro I cannot thank you enough, found your video and your method worked like a charm. I installed win 11 on 2 of my old laptops (one is almost 20 years old and the other is almost 13 years old). They're still good laptops.

[@memstechtips]

Really glad to hear that and glad I could help!

[@joker_0059]

Best video I have seen bro I have seen 100 or more than 100 videos on yt but not able to install win 11 but by your help I can!Thanks brother🎉

[@Braainwash]

well , this tutorial work really well ! upgraded my i7 2600k to windows 11 without any problem , thank you !

[@memstechtips]

Awesome! Glad to hear that.

[@SawnicPlayz]

thanks, it worked for my 11 year old Dell Computer that had windows 10 22H2 on it (it works fine when installing windows 11)

[@arcticpilotshow4440]

I find it strange that Microsoft won't let you install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. It should be the decision of the PC owner whether they want to have this operating system on their PC knowing that there may be problems that Microsoft is not responsible for.

[@AkneeGrow]

True!!!

[@memstechtips]

I agree with you completely.

[@silversolver7809]

MS are probably gun-shy after the whole security dogpile they suffered from, up to a few years ago. One of the tech outlets estimated that ~95% of what MS got blamed for were problems caused by the user-not running Windows Update being one big chunk of it. Leaving problematic decisions in the users' hands is a recipe for a right PR mess-everybody wants to blame someone else :)

[@Ssebyt12]

Nah w11 works as intended only bypasses tpm 2.0

[@AkneeGrow]

@Ssebyt12 what's tpm I forgot what it is 😆

[@marcismccain]

I tried this twice and it just freezes at 87% on the windows install. Exactly the same thing second time . Anyone know what could be wrong? Just to let anyone know that i figured it out. During windows install process let windows download updates, drivers and optional features or you might have the same issue as i had. All is great now and one of the best instructional video i have seen yet. Thank you memory tech........

[@memstechtips]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Interesting to hear that you had to install the updates beforehand for it to work.

[@_abdallah876]

Same happens Stuck on 87 I tried install updates first Still didn't work for me Help me bro 😢

[@iMax1975]

A+ for your directions. I tried the previous directions earlier this morning and it didn't work. Thank you for making an updated video. Trying this method now. (Edited to add - Just finished the process and it worked!) For anyone who has upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10...How is Windows "better"?

[@memstechtips]

You're welcome and I'm glad the video was useful.

[@curiosity2314]

It's not better, it's just marketing. 😀

[@Hitokiri99]

Tq so much for this video have upgrade my asus a555ld laptop just now..laptop is form 2014 and upgrade win11 23h2 to now 24h2 using this method..still can use my laptop for more year😬

[@lawrencefalk8714]

Worked great on 2 computers that had old Intel Core i5 chips and everything else Win11 compliant. Thanks!

[@parkerbohnn]

I've got one with the original I7-870 from 2009. I upgraded to a used 50 dollar video card from a 5770 2 years ago so it will do directX 12. I'm all set for the next 50 years or so.

[@fajulugbeoluwaseun9611]

In my language, "I will say na man you be" mean you are a great man. Thank you

[@mark6858]

Well that worked really well. First tried your other video and did not work and now know why, It was that i tried to do it with Windows 11 24H2 . Now it worked perfectly Thanks very much. Especially for a follow up video really appreciate it.

[@eugenepohjola258]

Howdy. Great. I feel I need to tell. 24H2 would not install on my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop. The install began well but when rebooting the original setup was restored. I believe the reason is that it is old. It has the BIOS Legacy startup. My workstation has UEFI. The upgrade was successful. Regards.

[@memstechtips]

Another user reported to download the updates on the first screen of the installation process.

[@GeorgePonchuk]

worked great second time around. important to check what language version. it took awhile ,but everything works

[@parkerbohnn]

What kind of a pickle brain would download the wrong language?

Worked perfectly , thank you for the very clear instructions. It works great , after the updates. Before that it was glitchy. Its all good now.

[@klauspopp8322]

Thank you Sir - what a good instruction ! I watched some of these, but your's is really the best ! 👍👍

[@akashali5733]

hey thanks for the video, before i start the process i have a question, i have windows 10 pro activated , if i install win 11 will it also be activated and linked to my account? or itll not be activated like win10? btw my laptop is i5-6300U processor and TPM 1.2 , i hope it will work. waiting for your answer.

[@memstechtips]

Yes it will still be activated.

[@Ndislive31]

Finally i experience window 11 from watch your video ❤

bro thank you soo much it worked perfectly!!!!

[@zaelu]

thanks for the language tip!

[@ronaldhofman1726]

Ihave a Intel NUC core i3 and only the cpu is not supported , will do this also thanx for the video , MS is sketchy with the hardware specs , TPM can also be virtualized and the are ok with that.

[@memstechtips]

As long as that CPU supports PopCnt and SSE as explained in the description it should work.

[@subinc8782]

Thank You, at last it worked with this. Regards

[@Taiki011]

Thanks mate it worked perfectly

[@DajjalSlayers]

thank you very much sir. I am really upset with this company. I bought a gaming laptop that is not yet 4 years old but was not allowed to upgrade

[@OliverPyroman]

you can use windows media creator and rufus for creating bootable usb, where you can set NO TPM, NO RAM Limit and other.....

[@memstechtips]

True, but that doesn't work for 24H2 if you do an in place upgrade. I made a detailed video on it before this one.

[@Exo123-m8j]

HI! I got 2 questions should I install win 11 on a I7 6700 or not, and do i will recive major updates after the upgrade ?

[@AllOSes1234]

TPM 2.0 is a dumb requirement ngl. All I’m unsupported for is tpm 2.0!

[@memstechtips]

Using this video you can bypass that easily.

[@iamtheiceman]

It is going to be interesting to see what happens in October 2025 when Windows 10 is no longer supported. Will Microsoft prevent any updates or installs to windows 11 by preventing all the current workarounds ?

[@memstechtips]

I don't think so, they would want you to be on Windows 11.

[@preamstrikbiz0]

My only issue I have now since getting windows 11 24H2 in my unsupported Dell micro optiplex 7050 i7- 7th gen T , is that I can’t remove 8.63 gb of windows clean up files from disk utility or run a clean sfc scan in command prompt ( both instances as admin of course ) . I do not know what to do . I reinstalled windows 11 clean about 4 times and tried checking cbs logs to see where any errors lie and still no use , even after yesterdays ( Tuesday’s ) week patch updates . Still no luck . I guess I’m stuck with a lingering 10gb on my OS drive that will not clean up in command prompt sfc scans or dism commands anymore ?

[@erikmarges2194]

This is a bug in Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft is working for a solution to fix this problem.

You can’t bypass it. Windows 11 now requires that to run. Best shot is running windows 11 23H2 if that doesn’t require SSE4.2 instruction set support.

You can still run windows 10 for another year with full support.

[@thorium9190]

The Core 2 series which includes Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad do not support popcnt and SSE4.2 instruction set. There is no workaround there. You can try to use an earlier version of windows 11 like 23H2 I believe that should work. For Windows 11 24H2 only i3/i5/i7 cpus from first gen and newer work and a few exceptions for older Xeons on the Intel side. Anything older will not work anymore.
