Can a 10 year old pc run Windows 11 ?
I recently wanted to tinker with my old computer at home, a 2014 PC that originally ran Windows 7 and later upgraded to Windows 10. But now it's a bit stuck, so I want to see if I can install Windows...
Yeah, I forced Win11 onto my own ancient PC just like yours! It technically runs, but for a much smoother time, I'd recommend using a tool like WinBootsMate to bypass the TPM check and avoid the headaches I had.
Check this tutorial: (worked great!)

Yep, a 10-year-old PC like yours can totally run Windows 11 if you bypass the TPM and CPU checks—I did it on a similar setup. Just use WinBootsMate, it makes the whole process super easy and smooth.
Went through the guide—confirmed, it works.
