Win10 Pro 64bit
My 9 month old Lenovo laptop ungraded without problem in about 50 minutes. A check with Lenovo then updated a couple of drivers. So far so good.

Sadly my rather old Win10 PC has failed the upgrade spec test - only TPM 1.2 and for some reason the Intel i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz isn't supported.

    Legacy MBR installation, no TPM, no Secure Boot, no WDDM 2.0 graphics drivers, cannot get more unsupported ;) This is only my test laptop. I had installed Windows 11 here before upgrading my main PC. For my main PC I use everyday see my 2nd system specs.

Why bother to upgrade on an incompatible machine? If it is not up to the job it will work better on win10. These compatibility checks are there for a reason. I got an old laptop, I tried it on 11 and it ran like a 3 legged horse but is now a good fast machine on 10

I'm not going to upgrade the old desktop. Yes, it's old (c. 2013) so I'm not risking any by-pass or spoofing.
