If your PC does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements, there is nothing you can do.

 

If you want to install W11 on your PC as is, you can but you would have to use a workaround that bypasses the W11 hardware checks so you can do it.

 

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10 to W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have used several different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

 

In order to do use this method, your PC must have an Intel 1st generation core newer processor or an AMD FX or newer processor.
