In this video, I show you how to upgrade Windows 11 on a computer with unsupported hardware.

I have a old I7-4790K computer I installed Windows 11 on in 2022, but it wouldn't update anymore after 2024. You can update Windows 11 manually by downloading the Windows 11 ISO file from Microsoft's website. Then, using Rufus to re-write the Windows 11 ISO file so you can bypass all the hardware requirements, like TPM 2.0, UEFI Secure Boot, and CPU.
