There is an edition of Windows 11 that is still supported on older hardware

Why YSK: On October 14, 2025, Windows 10 support will officially end, meaning PCs still running it will no longer receive security updates, putting users at risk. However, upgrading to Windows 11 isn't an option for many people due to strict hardware requirements, leaving thousands of perfectly functional PCs without official support. Many tools let you bypass hardware checks to install Windows 11 and get monthly updates, but yearly feature updates will fail.

What many don't know is that Microsoft released Windows 11 IoT Enterprise in 2024, a version that has relaxed system requirements compared to standard Windows 11. This means:

• It can run on older hardware that doesn't meet TPM 2.0 or CPU restrictions
• It still gets security and feature updates
• It functions just like regular Windows 11, without unnecessary upgrade barriers
