'''Windows 11''' is the latest and not so greatest version of Windows. Since launch, people have been complaining about its high system requirements. Microsoft claims this will "improve PC security" but of course you can't trust a big tech company. In this tutorial, we're going toll be givingbypassing theall finger to Microsoft and bypassing theirof stupidthat requirementsstuff.
 
== Before you start ==
 
A fewSome things you should know:
 
=== Tiny lil things. ===
* TPM 1.2 may be required, in this case, my PC has it.
* UEFI is not enforced. (Atleast not yet)
* The build we are using is 22000.318, which seems to be the current ISO you can download right now.
* You ''can only'' upgrade from Windows 107, (atleastyou that'swill whatneed Ito know,do trysome itchanges onto otherthe systemsinstall.esd and(or tosswim), mewhich awe e-mailwill message,not desktopgoose12@protonmailgo into. Unsure about Windows 8.com)
 
* '''There are risks to installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, Microsoft states you won't be eligible to get Windows updates. Although they seem to work.'''
=== Risks ===
* Some big multiplayer games are requiring TPM 2 on Windows 11 such as VALORANT. If you play these games, I would think twice about upgrading.
* For iGPU users: Windows 11 22H2 introduces a new version of the WDDM, version 3.1. This drops support for iGPUs, so you will not get the pretty effects that Windows 11 has.
* Microsoft has announced in 08/21 that unsupported Windows 11 installations won't get updates, whether this is true or not I don't know.
* '''Future Windows 11 updates may limit the features that you can use, and even worse, possibly even brick your install.''' ''(In 23H2, there seems to be a bugcheck for UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR)''
 
== What we need ==
* [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972654791471824917/979485515894128710/appraiserres.dll The appraiserres.dll from Windows 10]
* [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 A retail copy of Windows 11, make sure to download the ISO (not using the media creation tool)]
* A PC that supports the Windows 10 system requirements (WeIt assumemay youwork haveon aolder PChardware, thatbut meetsit themay requirements, if you don't,run lolslowly.)
* Proper braincells. Even a retard like myself could do this.
* A USB drive, I use a 64 GB one and it works perfectly. An 8 GB thumb drive can work, probably.
