M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I got suckered in.. when I saw the message "Windows 11" is ready I checked and I got this unacceptable message "your device is not ready", all the more infuriating when my slow and budget handheld tablet did support it... So, even though I am too old to tinker with my BIOS, I did it! And bam! No wait, Windows update still say my PC is not ready! :(( Let's check with the compatibility app! The compatibility app says my PC is ready! :omg: What's going on here? Is it ready or not? My PC is not a quantum particle!!! :mad: EDIT now updating my BIOS manually with some random looking file from MSI. scary... EDIT2 and still not supporting W11 (according to Windows Update), damn...

Beast of a machine, a year old. Not like my regular dev-PC, this thing features more memory on its graphics card than my laptop had working memory. Built by a gamer, this thing has 7 active coolers. ..and it is too old to do Windows 11 :D Yeah, maybe I'm too :)

Not necessarily too old. Your motherboard needs to have a TPM and to enable (assuming it's supported) secure boot in the BIOS. Also, older CPUs are reportedly not supported but my CPU is ancient and I had no problems. I'm running it in a VM though, so maybe that's a factor.

Please read about Windows 11 and installing it on not-ready devices. First of all, the limitations are set only inside setup files. Also, the Checking application provided by Microsoft offers the same s**t. What are the good news? There are a couple of videos/tutorials on Youtube which explain how to modify a Windows 10 installation iso to be able to install W11, and to bypass TPM v2.0 and CPU compatibility restrictions of W11 installer.

Updating the BIOS should be easy. All modern motherboards have a QuickFlash / EasyFlash option built into the existing BIOS. Ignore Windows update message (as it doesn't re-check sometimes) & just focus on compatibility app. If it says you're good, then you're good. Then just use one of these options to upgrade: Download Windows 11[^] But TBH I would stick with Win10 unless you plan on doing a clean install of Win11. Or unless you really care about the UI refresh it doesn't offer you anything of value. Win10 is just going to be more stable on a lot of hardware most likely.

When I enabled my TPM, the compatibility app said my PC was ready for 11. It took 3 days before Windows update said the same. The Start Menu and taskbar changes are going to keep me on Windows 10 for a few years yet. I'll probably try 11 on a vm at some point, but there's no rush.

You know the funny thing? After you said that I tested on my PC right now and.. behold! My PC can be upgraded now! :O

In Case anyone is interested, this is the video from Microsoft that explains why they required all of these things to be on in Windows 11. Windows 11 Security — Our Hacker-in-Chief Runs Attacks and Shows Solutions - YouTube[^] I think it's a little biased, and paints previous versions of Windows a bit unfairly . . . but hey, buy a new PC and run Windows 11 ! (Happy running Linux full time for the last half decade).

Just found out that none of my 19 computers, including the ones' only 6 months old, are 11 ready. Linux--here I come. I'll run Windows 95 under Linux Virtualbox to do what I need to do.
Pah, Windows 3.1 or nothing! Performance only went downhill after that! ;P
