How to fix: "This pc doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11"
OP has fixed the issue.
Barbara830 I am a Windows 10 user and wish to remove the "Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. Specific timing for when it will be offered can vary as we get it ready for you." banner on the Update & Security section in the settings.
Would your advice mean allowing my system to download Windows 11 updates onto my Windows 10? I hope not as I prefer my machine to continue downloading updates for Windows 10.
Is it really possible to fix the "This PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11" error message through registry modification? I'm concerned about the risks of modifying the registry to the system!
Yes. You can bypass Windows 11 system requirement via editing the registry. However, it is kind of risky. If you don't worry about it, here are the steps you can check out:
Step 1: Open registry editor and navigate to this location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
Step 2:Right-click on the "Windows" key and select "New" > "DWORD (32-bit) Value".
Step 3: Double-click on the new value and set its value data to 1. Click "OK" to close the window."
After making this change, restart your system and try installing Windows 11. At this time, the "This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11" error won't show up any more!
