How can I force to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC?
Tried a couple of ways to get Windows 11 installed on my ThinkPad laptop (2014) but failed. If you don't want to waste time on this, then follow this guide instead:

Installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware can pose several risks and challenges.
Unsupported hardware may not meet the minimum requirements, leading to crashes, freezes, or other stability problems. Microsoft may block updates or security patches for systems running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, leaving your system vulnerable to security threats. Hardware drivers for unsupported systems might not be available or optimized, causing device malfunctions or reduced performance.
Missing security updates can expose your system to malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats. You might face difficulties with Windows activation or licensing, especially if modifications are detected. During installation or troubleshooting, there’s a risk of data loss if backups aren’t properly maintained. Installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware may void warranties or support agreements from hardware manufacturers.
