does hp pavilion g6 support windows 11 with6.1.7601 service pack? What problems do i face after installing?

The g6 model series does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.

 

In order to install W11 you have to be running W10 and use a workaround to do an in-place upgrade from W10>W11

 

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

 

How to Install Windows 11 on Unsupported PC in 2025 (New Easiest Method, No CMD)

 

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

 

Download Windows 11

 

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

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.

 

I have no idea what problems you may face after installing W11 since the notebook is not supported for W11.

 

If you have problems that you can't overcome, you have 10 days to easily go back to W10 as long as you don't delete the upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.

 

To go back to Windows 10 from Windows 11, you need to: 

 

  1. Open the Settings app on your Windows 11.
  2. Go to System > Recovery.
  3. Under Recovery Options, click Go back.
  4. Select a reason for going back to Windows 10.
  5. Click Next to proceed.
