How can I install Windows 11 on unsupported Dell laptop?
My Dell laptop (XPS 15 9560 4K UHD Touch) is currently running with Windows 10 and Microsoft reminds me Windows 10 with end of support this year. However, there is no direct way to upgrade from Windo...
The CPU is not supported by Windows 11. You can upgrade the processor to an compatible one or use some trick to install Windows 11 on unsupported dell laptop. You can do this a free app called WiinBootMate, a popular tool that can create bootable USB drives while bypassing Windows 11's TPM, Secure Boot, and CPU requirements. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Get the official ISO from Microsoft's website.
- Insert a USB flash drive (8GB+ recommended).
- Import the Windows 11 ISO and choose the USB boot option.
- Now check the bypass menu under the USB drive name.
- Leave other settings as default (Partition scheme: GPT, File system: FAT32).
- Click "START" to begin writing the USB.
- Boot from the USB (change boot order in BIOS/UEFI).
- Proceed with installation normally—no errors about TPM/CPU should appear.
- Complete setup as usual.
I have successfully install Windows 11 on an in-compatible dell laptop N5110, an very old computer with Intel Core i5-2410M. It also come without TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
