Why my pc still can't update to windows 11 from windows 10?
Double checked the Windows 10 update center and only feature update for Windows 10 is available. The PC is a HP ProDesk 400 business desktop. It has: Intel i5-6500 processor 3.2 GHz 16 GB DDR4-SDRA...
Can't update to Windows 11 from Windows 10? Well. Your HP ProDesk 400 with an Intel i5-6500 and 16GB RAM is a fairly capable machine, but it's likely not meeting all the official Windows 11 hardware requirements, particularly the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, which are often the main blockers for compatibility checks.
Why can't update to Windows 11 from Windows 10 officially:
- TPM 2.0 Requirement: Most older CPUs like the i5-6500 lack TPM 2.0 support, or it might be disabled in BIOS.
- Secure Boot: This might also be disabled or not supported.
- Other requirements: Certain firmware and hardware features might not meet Windows 11 standards.
How to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware:
- Since you want to keep your programs and files intact, the best approach is to perform an in-place upgrade or install Windows 11 manually, bypassing the compatibility check. Bypassing these checks can lead to stability or security issues, and Microsoft might not offer updates or support for such installations.
