As you may be aware, Windows 11 is significantly more modular than Windows 10, and Microsoft may offer upgrades to current features such as Windows Settings in addition to big feature updates. This implies that Experience Packs, in addition to cumulative upgrades, will include a variety of new features and small enhancements. So, if your computer or laptop does not meet the minimal requirements for Windows 11 installation, this tutorial is for you since we will show you two simple ways to install Windows 11 on an unsupported device.
Even though Windows 11 can run on most unsupported PCs, it does not guarantee flawless performance. Depending on the PC, some functions may not function properly, or Windows may get corrupted or malfunction. Microsoft also advises against installing Windows 11 on incompatible devices since there is no certainty that such systems will receive all future upgrades.
So keep these concerns in mind before installing Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, since no one will accept responsibility for any damage done to your data or equipment.
Many of the unsupported errors seen on newer PCs are caused by a lack of TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot support.
In most situations, these two functionalities are present on the PC but are turned off by default. So all you have to do is activate them and then attempt to install Windows 11.
The procedure of activating the same varies depending on the manufacturer, but the most popular is to open bios by hitting F10, F2, F12, F1, or DEL when the PC is booting.
Once inside, go to the Security menu and look for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. On some computers, the Secure Boot option may be found in the Boot menu. When exiting the BIOS, be sure you choose "Save changes and quit" to implement the modifications.
If these settings are not accessible in your bios or if Windows 11 does not install after activating them, use the procedures listed below.
