Hi:

 

Installing W11 won't void the hardware warranty, but it will void the software warranty.


You would need to reinstall the original W10 that came with your notebook to get software warranty support.

 

So, what you can do is to make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.
