Hi! Upgrading Acer Aspire TC-780 to Windows 11 can be a bit tricky since your system doesn't meet some of the official hardware requirements, notably the lack of TPM 2.0, which is a key security feature for Windows 11. However, you can proceed with a workaround to install Windows 11 manually. Here's what you need to know and steps you can take:
Important Note:
- Bypassing hardware checks can cause potential security and stability issues.
- Make sure to back up your data before upgrading Acer laptop to Windows 11.
- Some features of Windows 11 may not work properly without TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
Check Compatibility and Prepare
- Processor: Your Intel Core i7-7700 is technically supported for Windows 11.
- TPM 2.0: Not present, so you'll need to bypass this requirement.
- Secure Boot: Likely not enabled, but you can attempt to enable it in BIOS if supported.
- RAM & Storage: Satisfy the minimum requirements.
