Has anybody tried installing w11 on their laptop below req? I saw that you need at least 9th gen processors, i have 7th gen i7, well, the netflix from microsoft store isn’t working , i cant log in, and it annoys me using browsers, i dunno, i just wanna use the app, and i’m wondering if that is fixed on w11. But i just figured out that my processor is not supported. today i’m using ghost spectre 10, but still netflix isn’t working.

    8th gen, not 9th.

    It will install fine once you bypass the checks. You will get Windows updates, however you won’t automatically get new versions of Windows 11. Beyond that, it will work normally.

    I don’t know if factory reset will solve those problems, but yes I installed win11 by passpassing requirements (first gen intel. This device didnt even have TPM) It’s a bit tedious work. You have to download both win 10 and win11 installer. Make win10 installer flashdrive then replace a large size file to the win11 version( largest file you can find) The installer will say windows10 installer, but it will actually install windows11
