It is risky if you upgrade to windows 11 in a bit of ram. For a unsupported hardware + good performance, you must be have 2 GB Ram, 1.87 gb or less used. If your Windows 11 work a lot slow, you can downgrade to 10 back in only 10 days, after the 10 days time, you need to download Windows 10 ISO if you want to downgrade back.

Its simple. In the installation media, open its sources folder and delete the appraiseres.dll file. It contains the windows 11 requirements, if computer can't access it, you can install windows on unsupported hardware. Congrats! Now you will install to Windows 11

Installing through Boot from the Installation Media

If you attach the external USB/CD/DVD Drive containing the installation media, you need to boot from it. Next, in the boot when you have a install button, you need to first press Shift + F10 and type regedit. Create the given registries with their values as shown here at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Setup\ and create new registry key called LabConfig and add these values:

Name Value
BypassCPUCheck 1
