I’ve done about 10 upgrades on machines that are unsupported, using the tricks. Works fine. The updates don’t check for compatibility, so once you have it installed, you’re good to go.
Thanks! So, basically if I have a machine that is plenty quick on Windows 10 Pro, even under heavy use, post “tricks” and upgrade to Win 11 Pro, it should be fine for most uses, right? (Ie., not bogged down to much if it has 12 GB or 16 GB RAM.)
Any suggestions re which tricks are most straightforward? I am NOT experienced with registry changes — “fear of”, I guess, having messed up a machine trying such, about 20 years ago!
Thanks!
“too much”
I agree. I've been running Windows 11 for months on an i5 3317U CPU, 12 GB RAM. NO TPM. NO TPM2. And yet my computer runs smooth as butter. I'm posting with it now. Windows 11 is very nice. The "tricks" are minimal, if they can even be called tricks at all. There really isn't much to it. Well worth doing the upgrade.
Can you dig out some links to these tricks?
