How to Upgrade an Unsupported PC to Windows 11 with Rufus
About this episode
Learn how to upgrade an unsupported PC to Windows 11 using Rufus, bypassing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot limitations, and give your older machine a faster, modern operating system—before Windows 10 support ends in October 2025.
In this step-by-step guide, Robin Christopherson walks you through upgrading an older PC—or even an Intel MacBook running Boot Camp—to Windows 11, even if it doesn’t meet Microsoft’s standard requirements. Discover how to create a bootable USB installer with Rufus, automatically download the latest Windows 11 ISO, and enable the hidden option to bypass TPM 2.0 and RAM checks.
This tutorial also covers best practices like backing up your files, selecting the right architecture and language, and using the Windows upgrade option to keep your apps and files intact. With Windows 10 support ending on 14 October 2025, this is the perfect way to modernise your computer without buying new hardware.
