It is possible to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, but that may or may not be advisable, I need some more information about your system.

Click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.

I apologise, the code of conduct on this forum indicates all communication must be kept on the forum.

Thank you for the screenshot, there are a few problems indicated.

Windows 10 is installed in Legacy BIOS and Windows 11 requires BIOS to be in UEFI mode, so currently your drive has an MBR partition Style and it needs to be converted to GPT for Windows 11 to allow you to switch BIOS to UEFI Mode, and it is a big job to convert the drive.

Then, your processor is not supported on Windows 11, so you would need to use a registry edit to allow you to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11.

If you do want to run Windows 11 on that device, here are the steps, it is a lot of work...

1

The drive needs to be converted to GPT, there are two options, this is a big job.

A

Backup your personal files, then clean install Windows 10 form a bootable USB and before doing that you will need to change BIOS to UEFI and convert the drive form MBR to GPT, which would wipe all data on the drive.

B

You can try to convert the drive without data loss from MBR to GPT using the tool that Microsoft provide, then boot into BIOS and switch to UEFI Mode

Before you attempt to do this, please backup your personal files.

Then you need to go into BIOS and switch from Legacy to UEFI mode.

3

Before you choose to upgrade to Windows 11, you need to use this registry edit provided by Microsoft to bypass the processor restriction:

Finally, you can upgrade to Windows 11, the most successful method is to use the Windows 11 ISO to perform an in-place upgrade.

Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

to download the Windows 11 ISO

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.
