Hi:

 

Your PC does not support any processors that meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements of an Intel 8th gen or newer processor.

 

There is a fairly easy workaround you can use to clean install W11 24H2 on your PC if you are interested.

 

Watch this video:

 

Windows 11 24H2 Install on Unsupported Hardware with Rufus

 

The person is making the bootable USB drive to use it for an in-place upgrade from W10>W11 but it can also be used to boot from and clean install W11.

Thank you for the hint: Rufus did work perfectly

You're very welcome.

 

I just used that method yesterday afternoon to clean install W11 24H2 on my ancient HP 8200 Elite business desktop PC that does not support secure boot, has an Intel 2nd gen core processor and only a TPM 1.2 security device.

 

It would not accept the in-place upgrade with the Rufus media even with the applicable boxes checked.

 

Still reported 3 reasons why that PC could not be upgraded to W11 via an in-place upgrade.
