Is my pc eligible to install and run Windows 11 24H2?
Considering the upgrade but not sure if I can. There's no "upgrade to windows 11" in settings etc
I would not sweat the CPU and RAM so much. In a lot of cases the "listed" CPUs are the ones that were tested.
- Create an image backup of your system before attempting to Upgrade/Install. This will allow you to get back to a working system if things go wrong and ultimately do not work.
- Are you currently running Windows 11 on the system in question? If yes, then I would be surprised if you are not able to update to 24H2.
- Does the system have a TMP 2.0 chip in place? This is the biggest blocker to doing a Win 11 installation.
- Are you attempting an Upgrade or a Clean Install? Laptop or Desktop?
- Do you have a spare drive that you can put in the system and test the installation?
- Drivers will possibly be a challenge if the system manufacturer does not have a set listed for your model.
- What level of "support" from Microsoft do you require?
There are a number of things you can do to work around older hardware.
