Upgrade
Upgrading to Windows 11 can be done in various ways[1], the biggest hurdle may be the hardware requirements for running Windows 11. To upgrade to Windws 11 without supported hardware, we can set registry key to force the update:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup] "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001
After downloading Windows 11 we should verify the checksum:
$ Get-FileHash .\Win11_English_x64v1.iso Algorithm Hash --------- ---- SHA256 4BC6C7E7C61AF4B5D1B086C5D279947357CFF45C2F82021BB58628C2503EB64E $ Select-String -Pattern "4BC6C7E7C61AF4B5D1B086C5D279947357CFF45C2F82021BB58628C2503EB64E" .\Win11_English_x64v1.iso.sha256 Win11_English_x64v1.iso.sha256:1:English 64-bit 4BC6C7E7C61AF4B5D1B086C5D279947357CFF45C2F82021BB58628C2503EB64E
If the checksum is correct, the installation process can be started.
