I want to upgrade my laptop to windows 11 but my laptop doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, I have everything enabled on my laptop to receive updates and everything.But it still doesn’t meet the minimum requirements.What can I do? I can’t afford to buy a new laptop. I’m running Windows 10 64bit.Can someone please help me. I can’t afford to pay for the help as I just said I can’t afford to buy a new laptop so that means I can’t afford to pay for the support.Can anyone help me?

Hi:
If you are interested in upgrading your PC to W11, please see the method I have used to in-place upgrade several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's to W11 22H2 that don't meet the hardware requirements.

If the in-place upgrade doesn't work for some reason, you can always clean install W11 with the installation media you made with Rufus.

I explained it in the discussion I posted, and provided a zip file download for the Rufus version you need to install to create the bootable installation media and a screenshot for how to set up Rufus.
The latest version of Rufus removed the W11 hardware check bypass feature so you have to use version 3.18.
