dell Vostro upgrade to Windows 11

Hi Microsoft support community,

I request your advice as I would like to install Windows 11 on my Dell Vostro 3590.

Initially it was shipped with Windows 10 pre-installed and it worked perfectly.

But I wipped the system to install another operating system (linux) and it worked also perfectly.

Now I tried to install Windows 11 as I noticed the laptop is secure boot capable and this should be sufficient for Windows 11 install.

But, I never made it trying to install W11 with USB. direct install or W10 upgrade did not worked. It get stuck on the logo screen. There seem to miss a driver for harddrive, so i tried to install several drivers from dell site w/o success.

 

So I require your advice if it possible to install Windows 11 on a dell Vostro 3590.

 

Thank you and have a good day,

    Before upgrading, I’d check the exact Vostro model against Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements, especially TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, CPU support, and available storage. Running PC Health Check is a quick way to spot what’s blocking the upgrade before making any changes.

      I just checked on the Dell website and it is indeed supported for W11:
