Have a question about updating to Windows 11. I have a Windows 10 64 bit and I wanted to know if it is possible to upgrade the operating system or manually install a new one? I don't want to buy a new pc just so I can have Windows 11 because I don't have the money and my pc is still in good condition? If so, how do I go about finding one compatible with my computer? Thanks

There are a number of reliable and effective methods developed which would allow you to almost effortlessly upgrade your so-called "unsupported device" to Windows 11, such as this easy-to-follow YouTube instructional video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrmhhigEhY&t=332s&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.
This method uses a clever Microsoft (Server) backdoor Windows 11 install method.
This works great: I have used it myself on a number of legacy (pre 8th gen Intel Core) HP desktops without any issues whatsoever.
Btw, in the off-chance you don't like W11, you have 10 days to roll back to Windows 10. After 10 days, unless you follow the steps outlined in this instructional video, you may need to do a fresh install of Windows 10. Either way, this video will show you what to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v9_-4JCh_U&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.
