How can I install Windows 11 on any HP laptop or desktop?

Installing Windows 11 on HP laptops and desktops, especially those that are officially non-compatible, can be approached with caution and awareness of potential risks. Microsoft’s official requirements for Windows 11 include specific hardware features (such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot), and bypassing these may lead to system instability or security issues. That said, here are some methods and considerations for installing Windows 11 on HP laptop, both supported and unsupported:

1. Check Compatibility and Backup Data
* Before proceeding, back up critical data.
* Use the PC Health Check tool from Microsoft or WhyNotWin11 (a community tool) to assess hardware compatibility.
* Understand that unsupported devices may experience driver or stability issues.

2. Official Methods for Supported Devices
* For compatible hardware, you can create a Windows 11 installation media:
* Download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft’s website.
* Create a bootable USB drive.
* Boot from the USB and follow the installation prompts.

3. Bypassing Compatibility Checks (for Unsupported Devices)
* To attempt installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, you can modify the installation process:
* When installing Windows 11, at the "This PC can’t run Windows 11" screen:
* Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.
* Run the following commands to open Registry Editor: regedit
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
* Create a new key named LabConfig.
* Inside LabConfig, create the following DWORD entries and set their values to 1:
* BypassTPMCheck
* BypassSecureBootCheck
* AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
* Close Registry Editor and continue the installation.
