Windows 10 EOL - your options

If your computer is capable of running 11 then I strongly suggest you make the switch. There are some unofficial routes to get Win 11 installed on non-MS approved computers. I cannot advise them and if you decide to go or at least try this route, you do so at your own risk. All I can say is ‘Clone your hard drive first !’

    Use the PC Health Check Tool from Microsoft or third-party tools to verify if your PC meets Windows 11 hardware requirements (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, compatible CPU, etc.).

    If you choose to try unofficial methods, back up your data first—cloning your drive is highly recommended—to prevent data loss.
