# Upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11 on unsupported systems
## WARNING
- READ FIRST:
[Microsoft: Installing Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1)
This is not supported by Microsoft, most of the methods listed here didn't
work for me on the first system I updated, Windows is not my primary operating
system and my Windows was in factory reset state so it not working won't
affect me.
## What works
Sedric, Tassu and Zaldaryn have no TPM or currently supported CPU, while the
health check app says they are only two to six years old.

on another system out yet. They didn't work on my first system tried.

- `00-AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU.reg` - the official Microsoft
recommendation and the only one that should be used. If after reboot nothing
happens, maybe try the rest rebooting every failure.

joining to Dev ring which should offer Windows 11 instantly. It may be
advisable to leave after successful update.
