With the above method thats generally from a working PC already, Rufus ( below) allows a clean install as well as repair install. Personally, I don't bother, simply use Rufus Rufus Download (rufuspro.us lOSQkxjHChm1tNmk3Ca31EySXOt0EGx6G5xoC-tIQAvD_BwE) to make a Bootable USB drive, and you have the options to bypass both TPM and CPU requirements.	wainuitech (129)

I expect it's possible that a future Windows update could revert (intentionally or otherwise) whatever hack was used during install, and the machine will suddenly become unbootable.	Agent_24 (57)

Its Completely on the cards. Got a PC here that's unsupported. Put W11 on it, went fine for a couple of days until some updates came out, then it started playing up, freezing, crashing running slow as a wet week. etc. Reinstalled it, fine until updating again, same ISO was used on other PC's no problems. Took it back to W10, ran fine. Tried it again after a few months, newer Version runs fine (so far). PC in the lounge, fully capable of running W11, passed all the requirements, BUT wouldn't install the current version 22H2 even though it was in the windows updates -- Came up with an error message couldn't determine if it can run W11. Tried every fix I know of - NOPE. Then they changed the download from Microsoft's site, went a bit further this time, but same result, but in the end on another forum found a reg key that was causing the exact error, removed it and the windows update version went straight in. IF you do use a unsupported PC then you wont get the upgrades through normal channels, and expect problems.	wainuitech (129)
1488802	2022-10-12 01:27:00	Agree with Agent there, you put yourself at severe risk of losing your system if MS decide they are going to "reverse" the hack you are using... And whilst I understand people want to see what Windows 11 looks like, is that "look" really worth potentially losing either access to your computer or the data it holds or both? There isn't any logical reason to "try" Windows 11 on "unsupported" hardware (which is currently running the system you use daily)... that's asking for trouble... especially seen as most of the people who are doing just want to join the masses of "anti-MS" supporters... If you're so anti-MS then switch to Linux or Mac. Also if you're trying Windows 11 on older hardware, then it is likely you have no immediate desire to upgrade said hardware unless you absolutely have to... and if that is so then just keep running Windows 10... after all it is supported until 2025 and you're presumably using it already. Recommended hardware requirements are there for a reason and no that reason is not solely because MS/INTEL/nVidia or AMD are in cahoots to get you to spend money you don't need to... it's there so that they leverage better tech and software (particulalry security related stuff) on the products they provide. Curiosity killed the cat or at the very least, deleted all his data :D	chiefnz (545)
1488803	2022-10-12 02:30:00	Thanks WT. Used Rufus and so far all is well, my W10 is well backed up if I need to revert.	Bryan (147)
1488804	2022-10-12 05:14:00	And whilst I understand people want to see what Windows 11 looks like, is that "look" really worth potentially losing either access to your computer or the data it holds or both? Well I wanted to see what Windows 11 looked like, and used the hack to get it installed. I wasn't going to buy a new computer just to try it out! In my case I used a VM. I thought Win11 had a better GUI than Win10 but I still don't like it in general. I started giving up on Windows with 7 to be honest and that plan was confirmed with Windows 8. There isn't any logical reason to "try" Windows 11 on "unsupported" hardware (which is currently running the system you use daily)... that's asking for trouble... especially seen as most of the people who are doing just want to join the masses of "anti-MS" supporters... If you're so anti-MS then switch to Linux or Mac. Would be alright if you used a separate hard drive (unplug your usual one "just in case" Windows 11 decides to trash your bootloader...) Just don't expect it to keep working long term. Fine just to play around with it and see if you think it's worth upgrading just to get it, though.	Agent_24 (57)
1488805	2022-10-13 06:58:00	MS have stated that they ~might not~ allow Windows Updates on Win11 PC's with unsupported hardware So security updates etc could stop at any time . Chances are not though , but factor that in.	1101 (13337)
