Upgrade to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware

In this video, I will explain how to upgrade an existing Windows 10 installation to Windows 11 for unsupported hardware. There might be different methods to overcome the hardware check but this one definitely works.
I'll be performing this upgrade on a Dell Optiplex 9020 which does not have a supported CPU, no TPM nor secure boot. This is possible by combining the Windows 10 installer with the Windows 11 installation files.

In the meanwhile, Microsoft has released version 24H2 of Windows 11, which requires a bit of a different approach.

You can find updated videos for 24H2 over here:
