Hi @Ray4221

The i3-7020U CPU doesn't meet the requirements for Win11.

Requirements for Windows 11

• Processor1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
• RAM4 gigabyte (GB).
• Storage64 GB or larger storage device Note: See below under “More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date” for more details.
• System firmware, Secure Boot capable. Check here for information on how your PC might be able to meet this requirement.
• TPM Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. Check here for instructions on how your PC might be enabled to meet this requirement.

Research the Tiny11 version Tiny11 Download Tiny11 

I've popped in a small SSD in a notebook that doesn't meet the requirements for Win11 just to get the look and feel of Windows 11 64bit. If your notebook had Win10 Pro it should activate.

Regards and good luck.

Hi, @ray4321 

If you are interested in installing the regular version of 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.
