    Hello @f23948,

    ANYONE can download the ISO and attempt to install it, but, whether it will work or NOT is another matter.

    I suggest that you look at the MANY posts on this site for clarification and in depth discussion on this.

    And there's no Intel Core i5-4590 and i don't think my computer doesn't run Windows 11

    Almost any PC can run Windows 11. I have successfully installed and run it on some really unsuitable devices. I think my record was squeezing it onto a 10 year old Intel Atom powered PC with Legacy bios, no TPM and just 2GB of RAM.

    What Microsoft has said is that if you install Windows 11 on an unsupported device then you are on your own, they won't support your PC. They may not even let it download cumulative updates.

    You should be using the new WindowsPCHealth Tool to check your PC. Your CPU is not supported.

    Download PC Health Check to test your PC for Windows 11 (windowsreport.com)

    You can also use the latest WhyNotWin11 tool.

    Just do it. Call Microsoft's bluff.
    • Get a blank drive and swap out with the existing one
    • Download the ISO and create a boot USB
    • Install and test.


    You'll never know until you try

    Or just a new partition on the existing drive.

    Or just stick with the devil you know and decide to re-consider Windows 11 in four years.

    I have "upgraded" one old computer to Windows 11 and have done so for the specific purpose of experimenting with it so I have no remaining uncertainties when the day comes for me to "upgrade" my day-to-day computers.
