Hello,
did they disable the “AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU” registry trick ?
I’m just trying it on a i5 7th gen laptop, and with the key set correctly I keep getting unsupported cpu

actually I got annoyed that the registry didn’t work, so I went with an update from iso ( just had to find the right language iso…. buying from ebay can result in some funny experience, like in this case i had to grab a german iso otherwise no update while keeping the installed programs and settings ).
Not sure if it’s using more cpu or ram at idle vs win10 ( is a 7300u ), but the only thing not working is a panasonic camera app, that doesn’t manage to open the webcam anymore ( skype does it anyway )

You don’t have to buy Windows 11. The license of Windows 10 is good for upgrading to Windows 11 and the ISO is free.
Just use Rufus to install on unsupported hw.
