How to Fix This PC can't be upgraded to this version of Windows 11 24H2
"This PC can't be upgraded to this version of Windows 11" get this errorIf your PC just can’t handle it, there’s nothing wrong with sticking with Windows 10 for now. It’s still getting support until October 2025, so you’re not missing out on too much. Plus, many features in Windows 11 could be available in future updates for Windows 10, too. If it’s looking like your current setup just can’t meet the requirements and hardware upgrades aren't feasible, you might want to start thinking about a new PC. It’s definitely a more drastic measure, but sometimes it’s the right choice depending on how old your machine is.
If you find out your CPU or RAM needs an upgrade, it might be worth the investment! For me, a little RAM boost once worked wonders for system performance, and I ended up having a solid setup for a couple more years. Sometimes your motherboard needs to be updated to support Windows 11 features. Check your manufacturer’s website for BIOS/UEFI updates. Maybe you can avoid the "This PC can't be upgraded to this version of Windows 11" problem. I had to do this once, and it helped unlock some new capabilities on my machine.
