For unsupported Dell laptop, you can use the WinBootMaate app for bypassing Windows 11 system checks. Microsoft's official Windows 11 installer enforces hardware requirements, preventing installation on systems that don't meet criteria like TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or specific CPUs. WinBootMaate addresses this by patching the Windows 11 ISO, removing these restrictions and enabling installation on older or unsupported machines. Upgrade Dell laptop to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware:
- Obtain the official Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft's website.
- Download and install WinBootMaate on your computer.
- Launch WinBootMaate and select the downloaded Windows 11 ISO. Choose the target USB drive.
- Enable the option to bypass TPM, Secure Boot, and CPU checks.
- Click "Burn" to create the bootable USB drive.
- Insert the bootable USB into the target computer. Boot from the USB drive. Proceed with the Windows11 installation as usual.
By following these steps, users can install Windows 11 on hardware that would otherwise be deemed incompatible by Microsoft's standard installation process.
