This feature is on Microsoft's Windows 11 update list. Can I install Windows 11 on my PC without following this rule??? Please reply.Screenshot (307)

    Windows 11 can be installed into most computers in a supported or unsupported fashion.

    There are some processors that cannot run Windows 11 in an unsupported fashion.

    If you want an unsupported installation please comment into this thread and links can be provided.

    Your processor is not supported by Win11 based upon the official docs. Therefore you cannot install it.

    Note that there are ways to work around that so you could google for it. However MS has started blocking newer Win11 features if they detect that you worked around it. So forcing Win11 on a machine that doesn't support it, assuming it works at all, could potentially break in the future without warning. This might range from Windows Updates no longer working to preventing you from running Windows. So do so at your own risk...

    Hi Jony Shakhriyorov

    Please first check for the presence of the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) option in the BIOS/UEFI. If there is no such an option, then the computer probably doesn't come with TPM on the motherboard.

    Also note that G4400T is not currently on the Windows 11 supported Intel processors list.

    You can't fix what isn't supported.

    You could try to install it, but it may not install or it may have issues.

    You would do it at your own risk!
