You can only use Windows 11 installation assistant on official supported PC that meets all hardware requirements. It does not support incompatible PCs.
This is the easiest way to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 if the Windows 11 Installation Assistant not working.
1. Download the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft’s official site.
2. Mount the ISO (right-click → Mount).
3. Open the ISO folder, go to Sources, and delete the file: appraiserres.dll.
4. Back to the root of the ISO folder, double-click setup.exe.
5. When prompted, select Not right now for updates, and proceed.
6. Accept the license, and choose Keep personal files and apps.
7. Install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC or laptop.
It will skip the hardware check during Windows 11 setup.
