Microsoft blocks unsupported PC Windows 11 upgrade trick

The bug that allowed us to upgrade to Windows 11 on non-compliant PCs will be gone, or we could try again.
Microsoft encourages Windows 11 adoption. After confirming the end of versions 21H2 and 22H2, the company stressed the importance of updating to 22H3 for security. Microsoft faces a paradox: hardware-incompatible devices.

The Windows 11 requirements exclude users with incompatible computers. A command allowed some to install Windows 11 on older hardware without component verification.

Microsoft plans to block this command and force users to switch computers or use an older version to update.

An open secret. The system recognized the PC as a server if the installation.exe file was run with the /product server command, avoiding TPM 2.0 requirements. Since Windows 11 Insider Build 27686, this trick no longer works.

For now, only this insider version is restricted, a practice implemented last year but not yet stable. Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 in October 2025, but 70% of users have it.

Microsoft will eventually block this method for stable versions, making it impossible to update. Until we update to Windows 11, we shouldn’t update your PC to any official version to avoid the blockage.

I had trouble installing Windows 11 on my old unsupported PC because my hardware doesn’t meet the system requirements. I’m wondering if I can force an installation despite compatibility checks. I run an older Windows version that works fine. Forced installation could cause issues or Microsoft support, but I’m willing to risk it. Any advice on installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware?

Why does my PC keep updating to Windows 11 when the compatibility checker says it’s unsupported? My i5 processor won’t run Windows 11. Secure-boot is absent from this PC. I’ve disabled all updates with a shell command because I’m afraid Windows 11 will try to install and brick my PC if I leave it unattended.

Disability means I can’t afford food, rent is over 95% of my income, and the rest pays for my prescription (health care is NOT free in Canada despite what the world thinks), so I can’t afford a new computer. My rent includes hydro. My children gave me my PC, internet, and software and pay for my internet. They can’t afford a new PC either. Microsoft, please don’t ignore us—computers are expensive and some people can’t afford them! Finally, can I set my PC to get security updates without worrying about Windows 11 secretly downloading and bricking my only PC? I now understand why people fear Microsoft updates/upgrades!

I can’t install Windows 11 on this PC because it doesn’t meet the requirements.

I have an Intel core i3 4th Gen PC with a digital license for Windows 10.

Over the weekend, Microsoft blocked one way to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, causing panic. Some news sites said bypasses were over.

Reporting has exploded. This article seeks balance.

Microsoft changed Windows 11’s hardware requirements when it launched. PC compatibility is checked during setup by the OS.

Multiple checks determine if the processor and other components are supported. If not, Windows setup says “this PC can’t run Windows 11”.

PC incompatibility is not guaranteed. Certain requirements may be disabled. Trusted Platform Module 2.0 may be affected.

Microsoft made the PC Health Check app. The app verifies that the PC meets Windows 11 requirements.

The message If one Windows 11 system requirement isn’t met, this PC doesn’t meet them.

There are two main scenarios:

An easily-fixed requirement is missing. This may be due to insufficient storage or disabled Secure Boot or TPM.
Hardware replacement is needed to meet requirements. Incompatible processors or non-TPM systems come to mind.
Install and run Windows 11 on unsupported hardware by bypassing requirements.

The number of Windows 10 and earlier PCs incompatible with Windows 11 is unknown. Canalys Research estimated 240 million incompatible devices stuck on Windows 10 in 2023.
