The Easiest Windows 11 Upgrade Workaround For Unsupported PCs

Microsoft is offering free Windows 11 upgrades for Windows 10 users. But that's if your system isn't one of the growing numbers of unsupported PCs. Windows 11 employs a compatibility checking tool that will stop the upgrade process in its tracks if your system cannot meet its extensive list of requirements. The most significant issues are the lack of a TPM 2.0 chip and an unsupported CPU. Sigh. A widespread problem that seemed impossible to overcome.
Luckily, the Internet is full of extremely clever people, and there are several ways you can beat this compatibility check and even these system requirements. Unfortunately, many of these processes appear overly complicated or require additional hardware. We found a method from the KZbin channel Tips 2 Fix that seemed too good to be true. So, we tested it out, and we found out that it was 100% legitimate. Most importantly, it was so easy!
We needed a more significant challenge after upgrading two laptops, including an original Microsoft Surface Pro from 2014 and a Dell XPS 15 from 2016. Both of fail the Windows 11 system compatibility checker. We decided to install it on a $200 Lenovo laptop with an AMD processor. A Black Friday deal from 2 years ago!
Thank you, Tips 2 Fix, for the fantastic solution. Please check out the original video below:
• How to Install Windows...
Warning: As with any extensive reconfiguration of an operating system, please make sure that you create a backup of your work before proceeding. Data loss or even hardware failure could result from this operation. If you're skittish about proceeding, do not attempt!
Also, the following from Microsoft:
"This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for running Windows 11 - these requirements help ensure a more reliable and higher quality experience. Installing Windows 11 on this PC is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive updates. Damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility aren't covered under the manufacturer warranty."

[@goshdamnitross3370]

Great tutorial just finished the whole vid and makes me want to try this on an old laptop. Any idea if you use multiple machines on the same account, would you be able to use windows 10 on one pc and win 11 on the other without any issues?

[@getconnectednow]

@@goshdamnitross3370 That's the spirit! If one person is inspired, making this video was worth it. Now, to your questions, if you upgrade a system from Win 10 to 11, that original key is retired and becomes a Win 11 key for one system. So, that key, cannot be used for another system again. Hopefully we interpreted that correctly 🙂

How to solve language pack error (error code 0x800F0950), I can't install a Chinese language pack after I install windows 11.

[@CCDR0001]

Just so you know, you don't "have to" register with a Microsoft account if you don't want to. During any of the options of the setup process, when asks for a Microsoft account, disconnect from the internet and hit F5. It will refresh to setup a local user account. However, if you want to use the store and some security features, you will have to create a Microsoft Account. I have installed Windows 11 on machines using DDR2 with an SSD using MBR, bypassing secure boot and the GPT HDD requirement. Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with an interface upgrade... that is all. So don't kid yourself that it's a "New" OS, it's not. It's just a feature update, nothing more. You just have to get rid of the crap code they added to the installation.

[@Darwyn43]

Hey you're a life saver! Only option that seems like it might work without data loss and still be able to give me updates. One question - I'm still getting a warning screen that says that my version is currently incompatible and I have to accept the risk of the update not working and receiving no updates from Windows. It will let me proceed, but I have to accept the risk. Am I doing something wrong, or do I just accept? First I saved the appraiserres.dll in notepad and when that didn't work, I deleted it. Something I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

[@spudhead169]

The method you show in this video is actually the SAME method as deleting the file. The reason is because you cannot edit a DLL with notepad. When you make these changes and save it, you corrupt the DLL so it can no longer be loaded correctly by the kernel. This results in exactly the same effect as deleting it.

[@getconnectednow]

Good to know! One has to wonder if future updates will scan for the existence of the file and less so the contents. As with any workaround, we go in knowing what we're getting into. Hopefully :)

[@raylopez99]

That's scary...makes you wonder what these guys don't know... I code with C# as a hobby for close to twenty years and did not know that a DLL cannot be edited by Notepad (never had any reason to change a library file, but I didn't know that).

Copy the install.esd from the windows 11, sources folder into the windows 10, sources folder by overwriting the version there. Run the setup from the windows 10 folder. Your install would be at full speed (no USB drive needed) and completes faster. This upgrades the existing version from 10 to 11.

Works great. Just grab the win 11 iso file and mount the iso so you can copy it to a folder. Then make the changes to the dll file removing all instance of TPM. the lines you don’t have to worry about are lines like tpmversion by itself. Also remember to eject the mounted iso before you run the setup.exe from the folder. I had made the changes and got the unsupported message. I realized the iso was still mounted. Once I ejected it, the install worked great. It also updates just fine. Nice work.

After using the (I don't have a win11 key) installed and booted up to Win11 activated.Then did all latest Updates including GPU all went quick. What I really really like about win11 is the added security from the hardware TPM chip(Intel 8th Gen and up). Overall happy with win11 speed as good if not better than win10. Only negative so far is the one extra click (willing to put up with it). Recommend win11 for 8th gen and up cpu.

Here is yet another method. This even works on my i9 27" iMac to create an external Windows 11 Boot. 1. Make both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 Install USB using the Win 10 and Win 11 Media Creators. 2. Drag the install.esd file from the sources folder on the Win10 Install USB out of the folder or renamewith .bak. 3. Copy the install.esd file from the Win 11 Install USB from its sources folder into the sources folder on the Win10 USB install USB 4. Prepare a volume for installation if not using the existing boot volume by initializing as NTFS. 5. Boot to the modified Win10 Install USB and proceed as normal. Remember you will need to select Delete on the blank NTFS volume at the selection of volume window before installation will be allowed. Be careful to select the correct volume! If no product key simply select 'No Product Key' and you may install a trial mode version of any version, Pro, Home etc. It took longer to type this that to actually do most of this.

Who cares anyway and most of us will buy some kind of newer PC in next 5 years. worthless effort in my opinion, though thx for effort to make this video, appreciated the sharing and thumbs up, though not happy with mind set "look I have windows 11 on crap PC" I do not see the point in that.

That and Windows 11 is pointless crap, certainly at the moment anyway.

[@silviorenzulli3730]

Microsoft released a work around itself that involves a change to the registry. I downloaded 11 and made a usb installer. However, I am going to stick with 10 for the moment.

You're da man!! I'm a linux user for over 15 years, but still have to work on winblows computers. This worked great on an old dell pc that my neighbor gave me without a hard drive. I had a spare 120 gb samsung ssd, and after following your video, installed flawlessly.

[@getconnectednow]

Great to hear!

[@kvd1x]

nothing like working on winblows computers am i right?

[@m.f.8752]

Thanks for the great video. It worked for me and now I’m running W11 on my 2015 iMac. Must say, for all the effort-I am really-really-underwhelmed.

I had upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10 home. After about 1 1/2 months it killed my SSD hard drive and made it unrecognizable within my pc in the bios. I would not recommend using windows 11 unless you have the equipment up to par. When I say up to par I mean all your components from motherboard, gpu, cpu, etc. Windows 11 is a great layout and I enjoyed the accessibility it had especially being able to have multiple windows in different orientations or layouts and the update of the start menu being centered and having all the most frequently used apps quickly accessible. Keep in mind I have a gaming pc. It’s not super expensive but it handles games well such as Diablo 2 resurrection, MW 2.0 , and Elden ring. Motherboard: Tuf gaming B450m plus Gtx 1650 512 SSD Ryzen 5 And it still messed up my SSD. My point is have better components before you move forward

Or stay with 10. You still have 2 years.

[@Phantom_Shades]

@@billjones3720 I went back to 10 with a new hard drive

[@billjones3720]

@@Phantom_Shades Yes. And Microsoft do warn that it's at users own risk, so there's no one to blame if something goes wrong.

[@billjones3720]

Unfortunately you found out the hard way.

@@billjones3720 someone has to do the test work lol

[@Quakester2000]

Do windows updates work I heard that was the issue with installing on older cpus

[@Andesu]

Watched both videos in this series! It was a success for me with an "incompatible" Intel Core i7-6000T series CPU, so thanks!

[@RalfS777]

Followed your instructions and was able to upgrade to Win 11. Thanks very much!!!!!!

[@loretoz]

Thanks but after installing w11 it looks like it is going to finish but after another restart a popup comes on saying (erasing changes done to pc) then it restarts and it is back to w10

[@harsh_36]

Will I get upcoming windows 11 updates?

[@imageandvalue]
