What does my PC need to be “supported”?.

I've had Windows 11 running on PCs as old as a Dell Inspiron 530 from 2008, and while I'm not saying this is something you should do, it is something that you can do. This includes advice and some step-by-step instructions for turning on officially required features like your TPM and Secure Boot, as well as official and unofficial ways to skirt the system-requirement checks on unsupported PCs. We've pulled together all kinds of resources to create a comprehensive install guide to upgrading to Windows 11. Or maybe you'd like to install Windows 11 on an 'unsupported' PC because Microsoft is not your parent and therefore cannot tell you what to do. But you may want to install the operating system anyway because you want to test it or because you like to run the newest thing.
