Microsoft also doesn’t recommend installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices, and there is no guarantee such devices will receive all future updates. Depending on the PC, some of the features may not work correctly, or Windows may corrupt or malfunction. Understand unsupported PC limitationsĮven though Windows 11 can work on most unsupported PC, this doesn’t mean it will work perfectly. So, these methods will work if you have a not-so-old PC that got turned down by Windows 11 or you want to force install Windows 11 on a really old PC just to check out those exciting new features.Īnd be assured, I have only picked the methods that will not have any harmful impact on your PC, like losing data. Today, I’ll share all the methods I used that successfully installed Windows 11 on all my new and older PCs. Thankfully, after one week of experiments and formatting the data on 2 of my PCs twice (unintentionally), all 3 of my PCs are currently running on Windows 11. The real challenge for me was to install Windows 11 on much older PCs, including a 2nd Gen PC with legacy BIOS.

As much of an “am I not good enough for you anymore?!” moment it was, solving the issue was as simple as turning on some features. However, Windows 11 literally refused to install on my 7th Gen Core i7 PC.

I have managed to install Windows 10 on PCs that could barely boot it. Upgrading your PC to the latest version of Windows is indeed the right move to keep up with the latest advances, but unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows 11 is a bit snobby.
