How to upgrade to Win 11

Code: Select all

 the steps:
Download the Win11 ISO File from MS.
Double Click on the ISO file to mount it with a drive letter.
Create a new folder on the desktop - name does not matter.
Copy ALL the files to that new folder on the desktop.

Unmount the ISO by right clicking on the drive ltter and choose eject.
Open the new folder that contains the Win11 files.

To overcome the error message about not meeting requirements and to bypass
the hardware check, we need to delete a single file: appraiserres.dll. This is found in the \sources folder. 
My only comment: how long will it take MS to change that, and for those that followed this and got it installed, will it refuse to update knowing that your pc does not meet the requirements?
