How to upgrade ineligible devices to Windows 11 - How to upgrade ineligible devices

I believe everyone knows that upgrading Windows 11 requires devices to meet certain conditions. So how to upgrade devices that do not meet the conditions? So today I will share the method of upgrading Windows 11 for devices that do not meet the conditions as follows.

When you try to upgrade to Windows 11 you may see the following error: Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your channel choices will be limited. We can easily bypass this restriction just by modifying the registry.

1. Back up the registry.

2. Open WindowsSettings》Update&Security》WindowsInsiderProgram.

3. Click "GetStarted" to connect your Microsoft account to register for the Insider project.

4. Select an available channel: ReleasePreview.

5. Click Restart as prompted.

6. After restarting, enter the WindowsInsider project and check whether the Dev channel option appears.

7. If not, enter the registry in the start menu.

8. In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsSelfHostUISelection.

Change the text in the UIBranch key to Dev

Change the text in the ContentType key to Mainline

Change the text in the Ring key to External

9. Then navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsSelfHostApplicability path.

Change the text in the BranchName key to Dev

Change the text in the ContentType key to Mainline

Change the text in the Ring key to External

After completing these steps you should be able to test the Windows 11 preview on unsupported devices. You can use Microsoft's PC Health Check tool or manually check for upgrades. Users can use the Get-Tpm command in PowerShell (with permission) to check TPM compatibility. However, it should be noted that you will need to roll back to Windows 10 when Windows 11 is officially released, because your device does not meet the minimum hardware standards of Windows 11.

The editor has shared here the method of upgrading Windows 11 for devices that do not meet the requirements. I hope it can help everyone.
