Installing Windows 11 on "Unsupported" Hardware!

[@MichaelMJD]

Ok, so I feel it's important to clarify: I spent a lot of time talking about the 5400 RPM hard drive in this video, but the main reason the machine was running so slow was due to it having only 1GB of RAM. This resulted in the machine having to constantly page memory to the hard drive, hence the disk usage being at 100% most of the time, hence the slow performance. Installing the SSD resulted in a major improvement, but this was because the system could now read from and write to the page file at a much higher rate of speed as it was no longer limited by the 5400 RPM drive. However, this is not the most ideal situation, and the system becomes far more usable (with the 5400 RPM drive) when the RAM is upgraded to 2GB, which I did in this followup video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmeypoeiqt-Nmpo

Hello. First what You should do is to permanently set the swap file on the hard disk -2-3GB, second, as you can see, the RAM usage is practically 100% of the 1GB. It's a very good idea to increase it to 2 or 4 GB. Third, replacing only the drive with an SSD should give a very noticeable improvement. However, SSDs will be under a heavy load replacing the RAM shortages. 4 GB RAM will be max for laptop and C2D

Rufus can only do UEFI and Bios only? rufus also bypass the pc requirements (for example windows 11)and secure boot since some new os doesn't supports legacy bios anymore, and requires a board with secure boot on it, my thinkpad l520 with 3rd gen intel that only supports legacy bios can run windows 10 but can't run windows 11 because of pc requirements thing, even if I set my flashdrive into mbr partition and put it in fat32 and copied win11 installer there it will prompt you that it doesn't supports the device, that's why rufus is still a must since it can bypass some things that prevents older pc/laptop running new os, the thing you mentioned might work to devices that supports secure boot but not to old devices.

Nothing was wrong with the drive And their isn't a huge difference between 5400 and 7200rpm in speed terms thats is just a common 2.5in drive from the era that does around 80mb/s if it was 7200rpm u might have gotten around 10mb/s more which would not have made any difference Also since that slow hdd was being used to make up for very very little system ram the speed is even slower writing and reading many many small files Only thing the ssd did was speed up the data movement but running such a config would kill the ssd faster to reading and writing 24/7 like that Remember win10 uses around 3gb at boot

The slowness with the HDD after first boot was Windows Search indexing your disk and on top of that, it ran the system out of ram so it was also trying to use the disk as swap.

Steam's support in recent years with their Linux-based SteamDeck has made gaming on Linux viable for pretty much every game except for some of the stricter anti-cheat multiplayer ones. Luckily, I'm not fond of that genre anyway. I really must recommend Linux at this point. All distributions are generally lighter weight on a CPU than Windows, you get technical functionality built in by default on most distributions that Windows always requires third-party apps for, you have unlimited customization, no real restrictions to how you want to use your hardware, you can even run Windows in an isolated, secure Virtual Machine within Linux in order to get those few programs that don't work working.

The "open task manager" and other functions that were on the taskbar right click previously are all on the right click of the windows logo itself now. Not a big deal, maybe it's cleaner like this for casual users, and advanced users still have the feature very accessible. I like it. Windows 11 is still a long way to release, and we are still missing a lot of stuff that was rumored like a new windows store and file explorer and settings app. For now we basically just have a new start menu and task bar. But I like it a lot already! Feels like a breath of fresh air!

5 years, u insane????

[@racerx1690]

All you have to do is look back through all the different versions. I have used Windows since 3.1 and Dos was still used. Some versions never got straightened out. Some took 3 to 5 years. And I would wager that any newer versions will infringe on privacy further than ever before. Ever wonder why Windows hasn't sped up over the years in parallel to processor speeds? It's because there is so much BS running in the background you can barely do anything you actually want to do.

good work, I'm glad to see there are potential work arounds to the secure boot/tpm issues. My PC I built myself is absolutely fine simply don't have either of those features and me getting a new pc or building a new one is not in the cards anytime in near future. I think Microsoft shot themselves in the foot locking it down to new PC's only, I think there should be an option for people to install secure version and non-secure version or some such thing to keep most people on the same page as to what operating system everyone uses otherwise they are just dividing people further and then you'll be hearing them push the 2025 retire date for win 10 cuz no one wants to switch to win 11 ...

you can just add a LabConfig key into the setup key in HKLM\SYSTEM, and just create a BypassSecureBootCheck DWORD value inside it, then set it to 1, and then create another DWORD value called BypassTPMCheck, and set it to 1, and then just close the installer, but dont restart the computer, or all the changes will be lost. just start the setup again, and you can install it just fine. you can also add BypassStorageCheck, BypassCPUCheck, and BypassRAMCheck.
