Unfortunately, it cannot.

 

If you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video:

 

How to install Windows 11 24H2 on Unsupported PC (Early Access) 2024 (youtube.com)

 

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).   

 

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

 

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below.  The top line is for 64 bit.

 

7-Zip

 

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

 

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

 

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

If I understand you correctly, if I change the motherboard and CPU for one that will support TPM 2 the machine still will not support windows 11. I thought it was only CPU not supported.

Thank you for your input

In order for your PC to meet W11's minimum hardware requirements, it needs a TPM 2.0 security device and and Intel 8th generation core processor.

 

There aren't any motherboards that I am aware of that meet those requirements that would fit in your PC.

 

I'm running W11 24H2 just fine on two PC's that have Intel 4th generation core processors like yours has.
