Thanks for this. At some point I think when I upgrade my PC to 11 I may risk upgrading laptop as well using workarounds.

Thanks

Thanks but the one I quoted is on the list: i5-1345U I take it that is a 1st Generation? But maybe I am missing something in the logic of the numbering.

Hi Running the health check app on on laptop says that my machine meets all the requirements, including secure boot and TPM2.0, other than the processor but even this exceeds the minimum speed requirement. It is an Intel Core i5-6200U. Earlier suffixed U intel processors are supported back to...

Will probably give it a go with AEOMI, thanks

Thanks for that will take a look but not sure I have the time to devote to this shoudl windows updates, other stuff, then not work correctly somewhere down the line. Having said that, I might not be able to resist having a go.

Hi Thanks, I will take a look but I think I don't have the time to devote to trying to keep the system going should MS updates not work as expected due to the incompatability.

Wrong question: I think what you are calling 'retail', I am calling 'standalone' as per the more up to date licencing descriptions i.e. retail = standalone OEM = pre-installed

I have always gone for clean install using an iso file

Are you sure about that because a previous answer to similar question re Windows 10 seems to give a different interpretation: i.e. retail = standalone OEM = pre-installed Ten Forums reply

I have a valid digital licences derived from standalone versions of Window 7 on two machines. So, you have confirmed that I should be able to upgrade my existing hardware but unfortunatley at least one of them will not easily run Win 11 and propbably about time for a new PC in any case. Given...
