    I have a few older laptops laying around and i wanted to install windows 11 on one but the laptop didn't meet the requirements to support running windows 11, my CPU wasn't supported. I found a work around, tried it and it works! The laptop I installed it on has an i5 in it, I don't understand why it's not supported when they have laptops with i3's that are supported.
    anyhow i followed these steps and it installed no problem, it runs faster as well. Windows 10 is definitely a solid OS but I like the look and smoothness of windows 11.
    here's the article that will walk you through the process.

    I think the only thing that is different is that they have something like secure boot, which is why so many PCs didn't support it. But then again, I'm by no means a knowledgeable enough in the tech field to say for sure.

    But yeah, I'm going to wait on Windows 11 until they make it support other devices.

    Older i3s (Gen8) didn't have hyperthreading within it's instruction set. It was still a good budget chip.

    You got it. It requires TPM 2.0 and a lack of taste in OS’. #macgang
