why my pc is not eligible for windows 11?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to upgrade my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but I'm running into an issue. When I try to boot from a USB to install Windows 11, it says my PC isn't eligible. I'm not s...
I recently tried to upgrade my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and encountered a similar problem. The system said that my PC was not compatible for Windows 11. This may be because Windows 11 has some new hardware requirements, such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
Many older PCs do not have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled by default. You can try to enable these features in the BIOS.
- Enter BIOS setup: Restart your computer and press the corresponding BIOS hotkey (usually F2, F12, Delete, or Esc).
- Find TPM settings: Look for Security Options or Advanced Options in the BIOS and enable TPM (it may also be called PTT or fTPM).
- Enable Secure Boot: Look for Boot Options in the BIOS and enable Secure Boot.
- Save changes and restart: Save the BIOS settings and restart the computer, and try to install Windows 11 from USB again.
This worked for my friend and I after his pc was locked by a bit locker key due to windows update. Thanks from us both.
