Windows 11 on platforms older than 2016

[jordiqui]

Hello colleagues. We have launched a blog on hardlitmit and while looking for information about the possibility of installing windows 11 on architectures like ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge, it seems that it is possible by adding a DWORD32 value: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU with 1 as a hexadecimal value. Close the registry editor and in theory the following message will no longer appear: this cpu is not compatible.... etc. Well I leave you the link to the article and the source.
I have tried it, (I always have the administrator account active) and it did not let me, but here it is in case it has happened to some of you, or if you have installed it on an old pc, then we add information and this way we all learn. Goodbye!

@jordiqui Last week I was sent back a laptop with an Ivi Bridge that they were going to throw away and it could be useful for doing some tests, since my idea is to build an ITX PC of that generation for my parents' house and I want it with Windows XP (retro), Linux and a current Windows, to cover possibilities of entertainment and uses.

As far as I understood, one of the easiest ways is with Rufus, as it is said in this article:

If I have a chance, I might try it next week.

Best regards!

@yorus Well I'll try it on the other server to see how it goes. I have a free drive to install it there and have dual boot. I don't think it will be a problem. And if it works well, with the hp drivers then I'll install it on both. Thanks and I'll also let you know.

But don't they say that the W11 is a dud compared to the W10 in terms of performance?
I've had W10 and now W11 and I don't see any improvement.

I also have a laptop that is incompatible, but I hadn't even looked at the options, for now I'm just about to try W11 on another partition of the desktop.

Is it that easy already? well, we'll have to try it right away on a virtual machine that should work. As I was using a Ventoy USB instead of Rufus, I didn't even notice.

I have the 4570 with W11, just modifying the registry during startup

I have noticed it is heavier and much uglier than W10, which is already saying something.

But I like W7 and the Classic Windows Desktops, so I may not be impartial

Salu2!

@fassou I just can't imagine myself using it directly, I'll try it out quite a bit and see what it brings that I like, but we'll see if this isn't going to be a transitional OS in a way, like a step with millennium vista and 8.

However, the improvements in the security aspect do convince me and I'll have to get used to it, whether it's this one or the 12, who knows what's going to happen.

The performance of the new version already seems almost a pattern, sometimes they already do something that works well or better, and other times they release things with a lot to polish that take time to reach the previous OS that was already very polished, what can you do.

Salu2.

And I agree. Then I can't be impartial either. But I have tried Windows 11 on the Asus TUF Gaming F15 laptop and with Windows 10 Pro the performance was superior in the same environment of applications and benchmarks as with Windows 11. Then, impartial or not, I would say that they must polish the code or what smells to me like old dog, they always want us to have updated and more powerful hardware. The latter is an opinion, it's not that it's a fact.

Honestly, "I have" three PCs.
Two at work and mine at home (what else )
The ones at work are one, a mini barebone that runs W XP because it's the one that controls the programs that are launched to the CNC and either the Siemens card or the sinumeric program are not compatible with more modern operating systems.
The second PC is an amd3+ that is not compatible with W11 and has W10 pro
And mine has W11 and honestly.
I don't notice any improvement in W11 compared to the previous ones.
If I notice something, it's because of the hardware that is duplicated from one to another, not because of the software.
Regards.
P.d it is very possible that when I remove the raid 0 from my PC I will return to W10.
