Hi! All you need is an ISO for Windows 11 but you need to evaluate your PC specs. Now, as Microsoft states that Windows 11 will be needing a supported CPU (they lowered it from 8th gen to 7th gen CPU), TPM 2.0 and a UEFI bios. If you don't have those two requirements (TPM 2.0 and UEFI BIOS), most likely Windows 11 cannot be installed onto your system. Currently I am using Windows 11 on Dev Channel. My laptop has TPM 2.0 and UEFI BIOS but doesn't have a compatible CPU (6th gen core i3). My overall experience using Windows 11 on an unsupported CPU (at least for now) is satisfying than Windows 10. It was more responsive and fluid when it comes to transitions and overall multi tasking is a breeze.

I'm currently trying to install it from a bootable USB but I'd have to start from boot as it won't let me "upgrade". I'm on 6th Gen i5, and I have another computer running Win-11 on 7th Gen i7 and its perfect tbh

Looked after I was able to install Win11 in on my 6th gen i5 precision 5510, I do not see an option for beta mode, so I suspect Deleted is correct. Madahar786

Hi Madahar786
This is no longer true - > currently you can not install Windows11 in the Dev channel, or Beta Insider, if your computer does not meet the requirements of the Win11 system.
