I upgraded a 10 year old non-complaint PC last week as follows:

1. Download the latest Windows 11 ISO file and mount it as a virtual drive
2. Turn off net access
3. Run setup.exe
4. On the first screen click 'Change how Setup downloads updates' and select 'Not right now'.
5. Replace C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\appraiserres.dll with an empty dummy file. Use Notepad to make a new text document renaming it as appraiserres.dll. You can now continue the install and it will skip the compatibility checks.
