What are the minimum requirements to run Windows 11?
If you're missing the boat on things like TPM 2.0 or your CPU’s just too ancient, consider some upgrades. For TPM, if your motherboard has a header, you might just be able to pop in a TPM module. But if your CPU's stuck in the Stone Age, be careful—upgrading that can get pricey and tricky, depending on what your motherboard can handle.
Honestly, when it comes to the minimum requirements to run Windows 11. If you can’t swing those upgrades, just stick with Windows 10 for now. It’s still getting updates until October 2025, so you’re not missing out on too much. Here’s where it gets a bit sketchy. Some folks are getting cheeky and finding ways to install Windows 11 without meeting the requirements by tweaking the registry or using some sneaky installation media. Just a heads up though—if you go this route, you're rolling the dice. Things might get wobbly, and you could miss out on important updates. Only do this if you really know your way around tech and are okay with the possible risks.
