How can I force to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC?
I recently tried to install Windows 11 on my old unsupported PC and ran into a tricky problem because my hardware doesn't meet the official system requirements. Despite running compatibility checks, I'm wondering if there is a way to bypass these limitations and force an installation. My PC is currently running an older version of Windows which works fine for my needs. I realize that forcing the installation could lead to potential problems or lack of support from Microsoft, but I am willing to take that risk. Can anyone walk me through these steps or provide a reliable way to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware?SolvedConstanceoiApr 26, 2025Copper Contributor218KViews0likes31CommentsPC blackscreens while playing specific games
My PC will black screen during specific games at certain times. the PC stays on, the monitors just die. I have to reboot to reset the situation. the black screening is pretty consistent with the games in question. Most games run absolutely fine and have no issues. I know a specific game that I can consistently get to black screen in about 10 seconds in a certain menu so thankfully I can test fixes fairly quickly. I am unsure if it is a GPU issue, CPU issue, voltage issue, or something else. I am even unsure if it is a software issue in some form. I reinstalled windows a year or two ago and the issue was reduced after the reinstall but still happens. nothing is overclocked. never tried it before. i thought it may be an overloaded PSU (the PC is a chimera of parts over 10+ years, kept adding to it, thought I might have overtaxed it), but a higher wattage PSU made no difference. GPU stress tests never make it black screen even under heavy load. tried different voltages in MSI afterburner but to no success so far. graphics drivers updates make no difference. running games with or without AMD adrenaline software active makes no difference. again, it only seems to crash in specific games at specific times. which can be quite odd because some of the game triggers seem to have little or no graphics load. and I play some games that put a heavy load on the GPU and it handles them fine and never blackscreens. it doesn't seem to be tied to overheating. I'm lucky if I ever even hit 60C. it crashes in the 40sC at times.OstarariApr 25, 2025Iron Contributor17Views0likes0CommentsIs my RAM worth upgrading ?
My rig was built in 2016 when the gtx came out , 95% of the time i dont really have any problems with spec hungry games , i can run satisfactory that puts high demands on a pc with everything on ultra but i only get around 50 fps. I have tried lowering the graphics settings and turning all sorts of other settings on or off but fps never changes. The only time i see stuttering is on a huge machine called an alien power augmenter .... maybe its because its a huge machine so the pc is doing a lot of number crushing ..... all temps are low. I know my weak point is probably the ram speed , some sites say my board can use up to 2600 MHz and others say Mhz 3333 is it worth spending money on what would be only a slight increase in speed or should i leave it as it is.MarylandCrabApr 25, 2025Iron Contributor10Views0likes0Comments- BarbarankApr 25, 2025Iron Contributor11Views0likes0Comments

Resolution too low on recovery media
Hi there, I have a problem with booting from a Paragon Recovery-Media USB. When I use this media on my laptop there is no problem, but when I boot on my PC the resolution is way too low, so I can't rech certain screen-buttons to perform actions. I have a Geforce GTX 650 video-card. I followed Paragon suggestions to adapt registry in order to force high resolution. The following keys are in the registry: - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\"x:\programs\Paragon Software\program\hdm17.exe" HIGHDPIAWARE -HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"DpiScalingVer" 3fa (1018) -HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"LogPixels" 60 (96) -HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"Win8DpiScaling" 1(1) This problem causes that I can't restore a Paragon system-backup.
