Sorry for thread jacking. It's difficult to fight against the myriads of Windows 11 requirement. IF my machine is still fast enough (i7-2600 3.4Ghz) for Windows 10, why not install Windows 10 IoT Ent 2021? It's a basic setup and has MSFT support up till 2032. Any cons? Please share. Thanks.

PS: It's not a good idea because its update stop at 21H2. Newer software may not be able to run on it.

Tbh i got rejected doing in place upgrade to 24h2 on a ancient intel coreduo machine.
Lenovo g3000.
Cpu core not supported.
Does not have required instruction set.
This one no way to bypass atm unlike the tpm20 that can ignore thru rufus.

This grumpy old man got a lot of cock story to talk, skip and jump straight to the 5 min time stamp.

Upgrade Win 10 to Win 11, using the setupprep.exe method. Bypasses all hardware checks

No need to update 10 to latest version first.
Bypasses all hardware checks. So it will upgrade to win 11 older PC that do not meet their requirements. The CPU requirement is terrible as normally it wont allow an installation on older CPU like 7th gen INTEL CPUs.
This PC I updated to 11 version 23H2, is core2duo and it is running great on 11 PRO.

Simple to do
Download win11 disc image file at Microsoft. File is about 6.4gb, you want the ISO file, scroll down the web page it is the last method in their list.

Mount the ISO file by rightclicking select mount.
Click open
Look in file manager to see what drive letter it is mounted at, mine was F:

open CMD prompt as admin
goto F: (wherever it was mounted) , as in type F: enter
type DIR to see the files and folders of the mounted iso, that way you know you are in the right drive folder
Type CD sources

Then type setupprep.exe /product server
Select type of install, I chose keep files, folder, programs,

Windows 11 will install
If your PC was activated, it remains activated

It will say installing server, but it is installing windows 11, and it will install either home, pro, or whatever matching version you have
Leave command prompt window open

No need to use a USB drive or boot from it.
Then walk away, no interaction is needed.

Anyone recently just updated to Windows 11 from Windows 10?

I heard the April and May update broke many computers.

Still thinking whether to upgrade to Windows 11. Though my PC is "not supported" due to TPM 2.0
