The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
Hi, I have an i7-7700K. This CPU have TPM 2.0, It's compatible with Secure Boot, it have 4 core up to 4.2 GHz. It also is 64bit. I don't know why this CPU is not supported by Microsoft to install Windows 11. Update, 10/18/2021: Yesterday I bought a MacBook Air, I know that the MacBook isn't the best computer and that you are limited within the horizon of Apple. But I don't trust Microsoft and the new Windows 11. What if I bough another computer of 2.000 US dollars and in some years Microsoft decided that I need a new computer? At least, with the new M1 chip of Apple I know that they will support the hardware and the will send me Updates and give Support.

Windows 11 Editions and their differences
Hi, I tried to know about Windows 11 Editions and differences among all. There are various links. Most of links say, Windows 11 Home Windows 11 Pro Windows 11 Education Windows 11 Enterprise Windows 11 Pro Education Windows 11 Pro for Workstations Windows 11 Mixed Reality But still, it’s not satisfactory. Please let us know, what editions of Windows 11 are available and what are differences among them. If any references from Microsoft, please share. With Regards NndnG

Upgrade to windows 11 Pro from unlicensed Home version
Hi I have build a computer and I downloaded unlicensed Windows 11 Home to a usb drive (from microsoft) and installed it as operative system. Then my manager bought a 11 pro license key (misunderstood each other) instead of windows 11 home license key. Now I try to write in the 11 pro license key but it doesn't work. I get an error message when I push next. I thought it would upgrade to pro automatically. So my question is: does this not work? what should I do? I don't want to reformat the computer since I have bought office package and another program.

Possible to install Windows 11 24H2 on unsupported hardware?
Hi, I am not a tech savvy and really want to install Windows 11 on my unsupported PC. I downloaded the Windows 11 24H2 and start the in-place upgrade from Windows 10. After a couple of minutes, the installation wizard tells me Windows 11 can't be installed on this device. After that, I run the PC Health Check tool and found out the CPU is not supported, and the computer has no TPM 2.0 chip. Is there any way to install windows 11 24H2 on unsupported hardware? I tried a few online tricks but no longer working in my case. P.S. I will buy a new Windows 11 compatible device if I have the money next year!

Upgrade from Win11 Home to Win11 Pro with a unused Win8 Pro Key?
As the subject says. I found two old Win 8 Pro keys that I never got around to use (actually one is on a physical Win8 DVD and the other is a Win 8 Pro key I bought online back when Win8 was launched). I was wondering if I could use one of these (the digital one looks a better choice, since my laptop doesn't have a DVD reader) to upgrade my current Win11 Home install to Win11 Pro. Thanks for your assistance.

Upgrade Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation to Normal Windows 11 Enterprise
Hello, I am not very good at IT and run a small business. I wanted to install Windows 11 Enterprise on 3 work laptops so I googled Windows 11 Enterprise Download, and installed this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-11-enterprise It now seems like this 'Evaluation' mode of Windows is not a normal version and will expire after 90 days. Can anyone tell me how to upgrade to the normal version of Windows 11 Enterprise? We use Microsoft M365 E3 which includes Windows 11 Enterprise, although I do not have product keys (or I don't know how to get them). Can anyone help me, please? Thanks, Nigel
