AMD Ryzen 5 2500U and Windows 11 compatibility
Hello Everyone,
I did the windows 11 upgrade on my Huawei Matebook D 14 - with Ryzen 5 2500U. I did this by replacing the appraissers.dll file in the Windows 11 setup and running it from my licensed windows 10 machine to upgrade. (This dll bypasses the requirement of specific CPU) Entire process took around 2-2.5 hours. Earlier one was windows 10 home and upgrade is now windows 11 home. My files and applications were unaffected.
After upgrading to windows 11, I am able to receive the updates by microsoft without any issues.
My laptop heats up once in a while that was happening with windows 10 also, So I have no complaints at all. Windows 11 is faster and smoother than windows 10.
Good luck. Happy to answer any questions.
Can you please put the following in simple terms (so I don't screw it up): "I did this by replacing the appraissers.dll file in the Windows 11 setup and running it from my licensed windows 10 machine to upgrade."
I too have a fairly new Dell laptop with a Ryzen 5 2500u and would really like to upgrade to Windows 11. I think it would prove itself in the long run.
Thank you for your help!
Hi... there are 2 options... I've experimented with both with success.
Either an image install of Windows 11 or a Windows 10 registry add before Windows 11 upgrade... so.
1) Image install... why... because image install doesn't check either the TPM version or the CPU... so you're good to go.. but you start from scratch
2) Window 10 registry..
Warning:
Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-11-specifications. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements, and you https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1, you can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

- Thanks for the info. I took a leap of faith and gave it a try this afternoon. I'm now running Windows 11. Seems so good thus far.

Good afternoon,
Kindly note that using Windows 11 on an unsupported computer may have risks such as lack of updates or crashes.
Anyways, there is this open source program called Rufus which allows you to upgrade an unsupported computer to windows 11 via an flash drive. It also works for in-place upgrades.
