I know there are a lot of users who have successfully upgraded the old PC to Windows 11 even for the latest Windows 11 24H2. You can do this with the help of Media Creation Tool.
Step 1: Download Media Creation Tool and make a bootable Windows 11 USB.
Step 2: Insert the created installation USB flash drive into the old PC that needs to be upgraded.
Step 3: Reboot the computer, and during the boot process, press the appropriate keys (commonly F12, Del, Esc, etc.) to enter the BIOS or UEFI setup interface according to the on-screen prompts.
Step 4: In the BIOS or UEFI settings, adjust the boot order to prioritize booting from the USB flash drive (the BIOS or UEFI settings interface may be slightly different for different computers, but generally can be set in the “Boot” or “Boot” option).
Step 5: Save the settings and exit the BIOS or UEFI, the computer will boot from the USB flash drive and enter the Windows 11 installation interface.
Step 6: In the installation screen, select the “Customize: Install Windows only (Advanced)” option.
Step 7: In the Disk Partition screen, select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 11. If you want to erase the existing system and reinstall it, you can select the corresponding system partition and click the “Delete” button (Note: this will erase all data on that partition), then select the unallocated space or the newly created partition and click “Next”.
Step 8: The system will start the fresh installation of Windows 11, after the installation is completed, you can reinstall the previously used applications and restore data from backups as needed.
This is a very simple solution to the question "Can I upgrade my old pc to windows 11?". However, you need to backup the data first!
