Product: OMEN by HP - 17-an035ng

Hi everyone.

 

I have a HP OMEN 17-AN035NG from 2018 with Windows 10. Since it will be discontinued next year I have been thinking on installing Windows 11. So when I tried it says that my pc doesn't have the minimum requirements,  so I can not install it automatically. Is that correct that my laptop can not run Windows 11? Is there a way to install it? I don't want to buy a new laptop I'm pretty happy with mine.  Thanks!

Hi:

 

Your notebook should be able to run W11.

 

If you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video:

 

How to install Windows 11 24H2 on Unsupported PC (Early Access) 2024 (youtube.com)

 

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).   

 

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

 

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below.  The top line is for 64 bit.

 

7-Zip

 

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

 

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

 

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.
