What to do if Windows 11 does not support a processor

To prepare your PC for Windows 11 installation, even if it has an unsupported processor, you’ll need to make some changes to the Windows registry. This isn’t as complicated as it may seem, but it’s not without its risks. Making unspecified changes or mistakes when editing the registry could potentially corrupt your Windows installation, so make sure you follow the steps exactly and ask someone to help you if you’re unsure.

If you went to the Windows 11 download page and got the message "This PC can't run Windows 11", continue. Otherwise, follow our How to Install Windows 11 article to complete the installation.

Press the Windows key+R on your keyboard to open the Run menu. Type regedit and press Enter or select OK to open the Windows Registry Editor.
