How can I force to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC?
I want to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 as I just received the news that it will be end of support soon. It is old DIY-PC but it is still a power horse. When I was trying to install Windows 1...
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:

It was shared by my friend and worked great for me!
If you're planning to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware and want to explore alternative boot methods or use unofficial scripts, these approaches can help bypass the standard hardware requirements. However, they are advanced, carry risks, and are not officially supported by Microsoft.
Considerations:
- These modifications can cause system instability or update issues.
- Unofficial patches might introduce vulnerabilities.
- Microsoft may block or prevent updates on systems running patched installations.
- Bypassing hardware requirements may violate Microsoft's licensing terms.
Final Advice:
- Only attempt these methods if you are experienced with system internals, scripting, and ISO modification.
- Always backup your data before installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
- Test thoroughly in a non-critical environment first.
- Consider hardware upgrades or sticking with supported configurations for a more stable experience.
