* Update Any PC to Windows 11 (2021)
Guide going over updating any PC to Windows 11 that “doesn’t meet requirements” or doesn’t use Secure Boot or has a TPM 2.0 chip.
If it'll run 10 it'll run 11 .. as long as you're not after all the fancy AI, adware, and Total Recall big brother stuff ( .. who is? )
IIRC I think (I'd have to check) you can use this Windows 10 | 11 kitchen sink GUI to create your own stripped down Windows 11 boot | VM disk that has all the crud including the hardware checks removed.
Gamers and Qubes users like lightweight VM images, there are forums dedicated to roll your own Win11-lite images.
