The Easiest Windows 11 Upgrade Workaround For Unsupported PCs

Microsoft is offering free Windows 11 upgrades for Windows 10 users. But that’s if your system isn’t one of the growing numbers of unsupported PCs. Windows 11 employs a compatibility checking tool that will stop the upgrade process in its tracks if your system cannot meet its extensive list of requirements. The most significant issues are the lack of a TPM 2.0 chip and an unsupported CPU. Sigh. A widespread problem that seemed impossible to overcome.

Luckily, the Internet is full of extremely clever people, and there are several ways you can beat this compatibility check and even these system requirements. Unfortunately, many of these processes appear overly complicated or require additional hardware. We found a method from the YouTube channel Tips 2 Fix that seemed too good to be true. So, we tested it out, and we found out that it was 100% legitimate. Most importantly, it was so easy!

We needed a more significant challenge after upgrading two laptops, including an original Microsoft Surface Pro from 2014 and a Dell XPS 15 from 2016. Both of fail the Windows 11 system compatibility checker. We decided to install it on a $200 Lenovo laptop with an AMD processor. A Black Friday deal from 2 years ago! Thank you, Tips 2 Fix, for the fantastic solution.
