@HaruJin,

 

As I mentioned in my previous comment: "The answer is probably not for non-approved W11 processors, but we don't know".

 

It is very likely that you'll have to (re-)install Windows 10, unfortunately...

 

Kind Regards,

@HaruJin,

 

Your laptop only allows 4th generation Intel processors according to your notebook's specs: HP ProBook 440, 450 G2 Notebook PC Specifications | HP® Customer Support and is therefore not eligible for Windows 11 according to Microsoft.  For an exhaustive listing of compatible W11 processors as per MS: Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Docs.

 

However, there are ways around it to install Windows 11 on legacy PCs anyway as @Paul_Tikkanen has pointed out, see this link: Windows 11 Upgrade Hack on Any Hardware | Dong Knows Tech.

I had Windows 11 and it was great I Was in beta version and also I did fresh install plus I didn't had TPM 2.0 I had 1.2 and it worked just fine but it says that 2.0 is the one you need. Windows 11 slow my laptop a little which is not surprising i had 102 Background Apps and 99. My CPU was almost always on 100%.

@HaruJin,

 

I see, thank you for the clarification.  The answer is probably not for non-approved W11 processors, but we don't know -or if someone in this Forum does know, by all means, please enlighten me.

 

At the moment at least for me, Windows 11 updates keep coming without fail.  The install and upgrade tool provided in the aforementioned link is holding.  In your case, maybe you'll need to uninstall W11 and redo W11 installation using the Czech software hack.  Perhaps @Paul_Tikkanen could comment on this.

 

Kind Regards,
