USB Installer For Windows 11 Unsupported PCs

I have always thought that the Rufus Method or installing Windows 11 on Unsupported PCs was only for fresh installs and didn't work on upgrades. It turns out I was wrong. It seems to work fine for upgrades. I was planning on making a video on how to do a fresh install of Windows 11 on unsupported PCs but I ended up making a video on how to create a USB drive that will install or upgrade any system to Windows 11.

Rufus is one of the first tools I install on my PCs over the years. I love Rufus. It's simple & easy to use, and a great utility.

If you want windows 11 with out bloatware, do this. On a fresh install, choose the language on the first screen to English World, then after installation change the region back to US in settings. Also to avoid signing into microsoft, just choose sign into work or school, then when asked about signing into MS, choose sign in options choose to join a domain then create a local account.

I have tried several methods to get windows 11 on my computer none worked until I found your video and it worked first shot so I'm glad you showed us how How to use Rufus thank you very much.

Thanks for this! I turned my old gaming PC, which doesn't have a TPM chip, into a home lab server. Using Rufus I was able to install Windows 11 as a VM on Proxmox. Amazing!

Your sponsor screwed me over, don’t ever buy keys from them

I have Windows 11 running on a Lenovo T420 laptop that's 12 years old with no issues so far. I had to go the Win10 upgrade route, and it went pretty smooth! I used Rufus to get the ISO.

microsoft needs to give up on the hardware requirements for the regular user. there are so many systems that are still in great working order. that do not need to be upgrade. and some people don't have the money to but a new computer. there should be a version of windows for places that deal with private info. such as medical, banks, etc. that need to be able to keep people info such as SSN, Credit/debt Card info, home addresses, hippa related medical info, etc. from being hacked. these computers should have strict hardware built in. makes the most sense. but the regualr user have no need most of the time for a lot of this stuff.

Great video and thank you for sharing @CyberCPU

Here the last two times I did a full clean install of Windows 10 and 11 I did it via the CLI method. I personally prefer only having two partitions on the drive rather than the 4 the normal installer creatures.
I normally do the first partition as the EFI partition and the second partition is the primary that Windows 10/11 gets imaged onto with the DISM tool.

Don't know if someone already commented this, but if you don't get the option when running Rufus to select automatic updates, or you hit no you can change the options from the settings icon down in the left hand corner. Once changed just restart Rufus and you will have the option to download.

Thank you very much, I was looking for a few month gow to upgrade "my potato" to Windows 11.
This new method is so easy it's really dummy proof.

[MiseryFarm]

Awesome! Going to let Rufus prep a USB then take an image of it and add it to my Ventoy drive.

DUDE !!!!
First Making your own Tiny Windows 11
and now a USB Installer for Unsupported PC 's ???
I love it when we make MS look like the liars they are.
You just earned my sub !

Great stuff! I have a Samsung RV510 Celeron Dual-Core T3500, 2.10 GHz with 4GB Ram with legacy bios. It was natively running Windows 7, then Windows 10 and now thanks to this and Rufus it’s running Windows 11. The only issue I have experienced on both 10 & 11 is graphics tearing is Asphalt 8. Other than that it is playable with hardly any stutter. I’ve yet to try video and photo editing. Thanks Cyber dude 🙂

[jnovikoff]

Worked twice exactly as described both 10 & 11. Thanks.

[srvuk]

Very useful. It would be interesting to check in on how Tiny11 is coming along and to see just how low spec a PC it will run on in a reasonably comfortable manner.

[Nick]

Yes, I have upgraded 3 unsupported laptops to Windows 11 with Rufus. Then I upgraded them to 23H2 from the desktop using Rufus & kept everything.

Your videos are fantastic and are incredibly helpful! Thanks for making these!
