Microsoft themselves have posted the registry edit necessary to do this. Assumes you already have Windows 10 installed before attempting this.
Warning:
Here's a pic of how the Win10 reg edit would look. If the MoSetup folder isn't there, just create it yourself.
Right click the Setup key and choose New - Key and rename it (right click - Rename).
Don't forget to change the REG_DWORD value to 1. Don't leave it at 0.
Next download the ISO and leave it in Downloads. Here's how the microsoft.com Win11 download page will look. Select 11 from the drop down menu and then the primary language you will be using.
Right click the ISO and Mount it.
Double click the setup app and commence with the install. Select, Keep personal files if you don't want a clean install.
This is the easiest method I've seen yet. Give it a try if you'd like to try out 11 on your 7th gen or older Intel System. If you'd like to keep all your Win10 data and applications you get the option to choose that.
Warning:
- Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements, and you acknowledge and understand the risks, you can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.
- Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
- Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
- Type: REG_DWORD
- Value: 1
- Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
