How Can I Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware?

Upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware can feel a bit tricky, but I’ll walk you through how to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11. I've done this a few times myself, and it’s all about a few tweaks and going against the grain. So, grab your snacks, and let's get started!

Step 1: Modify the Registry
This is where the real magic happens! You’re going to tweak a couple of things in the Windows Registry to bypass those pesky hardware checks. 

• Open Registry Editor: Hit Win + R, type in regedit, and hit Enter. (Just remember, be careful in here—one wrong move can mess things up.)
• Find the Right Spot: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup. 
• Create a New Key: Right-click on Setup, pick New > Key, and name it LabConfig.
• Add Some Values: Inside that new LabConfig key, you want to create some DWORD values. Right-click in the right pane and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and add these:
  - BypassTPMCheck (set to 1)
  - BypassSecureBootCheck (set to 1)
  - BypassRAMCheck (set to 1)
  - BypassCPUCheck (set to 1)

Step 2: Grab the Windows 11 Installation Media

Now, let’s get your hands on a copy of Windows 11. 

• Download the Installation Tool: Head over to the official Microsoft website and check out the Windows 11 download page. Look for the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or the ISO file option.

Step 3: Run the Installation
Alright, you’ve done the groundwork if you are going to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 on unsuported hardware, now it’s time to install!

• Use the Setup File: If you downloaded the ISO, just double-click it to mount it. Open the mounted drive and look for setup.exe. If you used the Installation Assistant, just launch that.
• Follow the Prompts: Start the installation. It’ll check for compatibility first, but since we did our registry tweaks, it should breeze through those checks. Keep choosing options to keep your files and apps when prompted.
• Let It Install: Sit back and relax. It’ll take a bit of time, but eventually, you’ll have Windows 11 running on your machine!
