What is the full model number or product number of your PC.

Run the Windows System Information App and the product number will be located on the System SKU line.

Your PC has an Odense2-K motherboard which only supports Intel 7th generation core processors.

If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2/22H3.

You have to use the version of the Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in the discussion (v3.18).

If the in-place upgrade fails, you should be able to clean install W11 using the bootable W11 installation flash drive you made with Rufus.

When W11 24H2 comes out, things have changed a bit, so watch this video for how to update your W11 23H2 installation to 24H2.

You might even be able to use this video to upgrade from W10 to 23H2.

Thank You

You're very welcome.

I've been running W11 for 3 years now on one of my PC's that has an Intel i7-7700 processor.

I wasn't going to get rid of a perfectly fine PC due to some inflated hardware requirements.

I do have one PC that supports W11, so I have already upgraded my PC's to W11 24H2 using that video.

With the W11 PC, I was able to download the latest 24H2 ISO file through the W11 insider program.

You can use the Rufus utility to upgrade to 24H2 on your PC, if it has a TPM 2.0 security chip, but not on PC's that don't have a TPM security device or don't support secure boot.

For those, you have to use the video as I found out on some of my older ones.

Microsoft threw a new obstacle into the requirements, but it only affects real old PC's that don't have Intel 1st Generation Core processors or newer, so I will have to leave my 3 very old PC's that have Pentium Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors on W11 23H2 unless some genius figures out a workaround to the new 'CPU must support POPCOUNT' requirement.
