Hello everyone,
I found two solutions to bypass the compatibility requirements to install Windows 11 on my computer.
- Rufus
- Run the installer with the /product server parameter (the system requirement check is bypassed)
I didn't quite understand how the second technique works, but a very clear tutorial is available on "lecrabeinfo".
My question is: with either of these techniques, will I lose my computer's data and applications?
Thank you in advance for your response.
I don't know if it's an upgrade or a fresh installation.
As for Rufus, I believe it's a fresh installation.
But for the other method, I'm not really sure. Here it is:

A reinstallation involves booting from a bootable USB drive and deleting the partitions, which erases everything before installing Windows anew.
However, from this bootable USB, you can also initiate an upgrade procedure and let it complete.
From the simple Windows 11 ISO image, you can mount the image, click on the setup, and upgrade from Windows without using the bootable USB at startup; however, for an incompatible PC, you need to modify the Windows registry for it to work, but it's very quick to do.
Rufus is for those who don't want to tinker and want everything done automatically, so from Windows, you can also launch the setup from the USB and proceed with the upgrade without modifying the registry of your current Windows beforehand.
