I have been trying to install Windows 11 on my HP Laptop & Desktop, however, both are providing errors saying it doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11.  How can I correct this?

You would have to provide the full model number and product numbers of your PC's and what processors they come with in order for anyone to help you.

 

Here are Microsoft's minimum W11 AMD and Intel processor requirements:

 

Windows processor requirements Windows 11, version 25H2 supported AMD processors | Microsoft Learn

 

Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Learn

 

In addition to meeting the minimum processor requirements, the PCs need to have:

 

UEFI BIOS

Secure boot

TPM 2.0 security device

Processors must support SSE 4.2

 

If your PC's don't meet all of the above requirements, but the processors do meet the SSE 4.2 specification, then you would have to use a workaround so you can do an in-place upgrade from W10>W11.

 

I have found this method to be the easiest way to do that:
