The "my PC doesn't support Windows 11" error has occurred. Your PC's processor, an Intel i5 7500, is not officially supported for Windows 11, and your PC may lack TPM 2.0, which are the main reasons it doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11 25H2. However, there are some options you can consider:
1. Check for BIOS/UEFI Update and Enable TPM 2.0
- BIOS Update: Sometimes, motherboard manufacturers release BIOS updates that add or improve TPM support.
- Enable TPM 2.0: If your motherboard has a TPM module (even if not enabled), you might be able to enable it in BIOS settings.
2. Use the Registry Hack to Bypass TPM and CPU Checks
- Microsoft officially recommends against bypassing system requirements, but some advanced users choose to do so to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
- Note: This can cause stability or security issues, and Microsoft might block updates.
3. Install Windows 11 via Workaround
- You can create a modified installation media that bypasses these checks.
- There are guides online showing how to do this, but proceed with caution.
