Should I hack Windows 11 for unsupported PCs?


There are many Windows 11 instructions to work around incompatible system requirements, it is not a Windows 11 hack for unsupported PCs as it describes MS itself!



1.) ... Before you install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC!
2.) ... To the Microsoft website with options for installing Windows 11!



3.) ... Advantages and disadvantages if Windows 11 is installed on an unsupported PC!



1.) Before you install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC!

Before you install Windows 11 on a PC that does not meet the hardware requirements, you are actually lucky because the updates are currently also being received on PCs that do not meet all of the minimum requirements. But also keep in mind that Microsoft can decide to stop updates at any time, as unsupported PCs are not entitled to updates. So it remains up to Microsoft whether these PCs will always be updated in the future, which can lead to security problems, or a new installation of Windows 10!
 

2.) To the Microsoft website with options for installing Windows 11!

In advance! Microsoft does not recommend installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 . However, there is a solution on the Microsoft side!  

►► ...ways to install Windows 11



On the page scroll down to the heading:

Additional methods for installing Windows 11 (only recommended if instructed by support)  

Here it is with the registry key :  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
 
and the AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU  type: REG_DWORD  value: 1

declared. So it's not a Windows 11 hack, but an unofficial possibility opened by MS!  

PS: If you love your taskbar, you should think twice!

Microsoft does not provide official support for Windows 11 on unsupported PCs. This means you may not receive security updates, bug fixes, or other important updates.

Since your PC may not meet all of the minimum requirements, installing Windows 11 may result in instability, performance issues, or other unexpected errors.

Without regular security updates, you may be at higher risk of malware, viruses, and other security threats.
