Overview

Ever wanted to upgrade your trusty old PC to Windows 11 but faced a roadblock called 'unsupported hardware'? Fear not, there’s a way through! The video by Britec09 shows a workaround to install Windows 11 by dodging the strict requirements like TPM 2.0, especially if you can't afford a new PC just yet.

The process involves downloading the ISO file for Windows 11 from Microsoft’s site, mounting it, and then transferring its contents to a folder on your PC. A simple command in Command Prompt initiates the upgrade, all while bypassing the hurdles set by Microsoft for older systems.

While this might seem like the perfect trick, it's not without potential risks. Bypassing these requirements means your PC might miss future updates, and Microsoft could disable this workaround anytime. It’s a fun learning experience but tread carefully or consider more future-proof alternatives like switching to Linux or investing in an upgrade.
