Product: HP Spectre x360 - 15-ap012dx (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Spectre X360 laptop computer with an Intel core:7 6500 CPU @ 2.54Hz and 16GB. I am informed, when running the Windows 11 compatibility program, that this computer is not able to run Windows 11. Is this true? Is there a work around? Thanks.

Hi:

 

If you want to upgrade from W10 to W11 on your notebook, you will have to use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade.

 

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that...

 

https://dongknows.com/steps-for-windows-11-upgrade-on-unsupported-hardware/ 

 

Before trying to upgrade to W11, I would 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.
