Microsoft Windows 11

I know that my notebook is not officially approved to work with windows 11, but there is no possibility to use these wunderful products without trying to use them with windows 11. So please don't blame me. Its not my fault.

Every now and then the notebook crashes saying "The device ran into a problem...", then some different things are mentioned. Did someone resolve this problem already for their device?

Nobody is blaming you. Support for Windows 10 has ended. The community is left with three options:

  1. Bypass the requirements and install Windows 11 that way.

  2. Buy a new computer that supports Windows 11 (Microsoft seems to think money grows on trees).

  3. (The best option) Learn to use Linux, and you’ll be surprised how a laptop, even up to 15 years old, can be productive and fast running Linux.

Thank you for the quick reply. I did all three 🙂 with different computers. With my beautiful HP's I try the first option and win 11 runs fine appart from these crashes and my hope is that someone has overcome this with some driver replacement or similar solution.

That’s exactly the problem. There are only loopholes that Microsoft will soon patch, and it will no longer be possible to install and use Windows 11 on older hardware in any way. I’m not against digitalization, but personally I do not recommend Windows 11 and I will never use it myself. I currently use Windows 10, and although I know it well, I also use Linux.

For a computer to run Windows 11 stably, it must meet all the hardware requirements. I hope that the laptop on which you installed Windows 11 is just a device for entertainment and that you don’t have any important data on it, because based on the description you gave, that system is neither stable nor secure.

The hardware requirements are met by HP Spectre 13 af032-ng. But HP doesn't offer drivers and other updates. Nevertheless it runs fine apart from the crashes once in a week.
