What Happens If I Force Run Windows 11 On A Computer With AMD APU?


I have an old Lenovo Laptop from 2013. It does not meet the requirements for Windows 11.
It has an AMD A10-5750M CPU and no TPU. It was running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 with latest build.
I replaced the appraiserres.dll with a blank version. Uploaded the Windows 11 ISO and did a repair install.
It took a while on this old and slow system but it upgraded to Windows 11 Pro 22H2 Build 22621.525.
I checked MS Store and it updated a lode of apps. I turned off my internet before the upgrade. After getting back online I had new updates.
I am now on Build 22621.1194. So far so good.

UPDATE: Now on Build 22621.1992 and all is well.
Jim :cool:

All current Windows updates should be offered and install without any issues. I am at 22621.1928 build and still no issues apart from the occasional bug until I also update Explorer Patcher and restart. To upgrade to 23H2 in October simply download the new ISO and replace the appraiserres.dll file again. Stay disconnected from the internet during the upgrade just in case.
