Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Envy Laptop running on Windows 10 right now and I know that Windows 11 has come out. It says my computer doesn't meet the Windows 11 requirements and says that the processor is currently not supported by Windows 11. Is that basically saying that my computer is too old for the update?

Hi:

 

It means that Microsoft will not offer the automatic update to W11 via Windows update.

 

If you are interested in installing W11, you would have to use one of the W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade to W11.

 

I found this one to be the easiest way to do that, having upgraded 11 different unsupported Dell and HP desktop and notebook PC's to W11.

Before trying to upgrade to W11, I recommend that you make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.
