There are tools that will determine if your PC is capable of supporting Windows 11. Some lower end PCs will not be capable. I can’t quote those requirements, but I am certain that the OP can determine this through a simple internet search using the topic of this thread to do the search. Google is your friend.

How to Update Window 10 to Windows 11 on low end PC?

Before you attempt to upgrade to Windows 11 on a low-end PC, please check whether your device fulfills the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. This is because Microsoft has updated the requirements for Windows 11 and some older low-end PCs might not meet these requirements.

Now, let me assume your device meets the minimum requirements mandated by Microsoft. Follow these steps to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Check whether your PC is compatible with Windows 11 by running the ‘PC Health Check’ app. You can download this app from the Microsoft website.
Before starting the process of upgradation, back up all your important data; there might be unforeseen issues that can erase your data.

Windows 11 need more disk space as compared to Windows 10. So, free up some device space before proceeding with the upgradation process. This can be done by either deleting unnecessary files or uninstalling the programs that you don’t need any longer.

Now, download and install the upgrade. Download the upgrade through Windows update.
Go to settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
Then click on ‘Check for updates.’ If an update is available, click on the ‘Download and install’ tab. The upgrade process will begin now.

The installation process may take some time and your PC may restart multiple times during this process. Follow the installation prompts carefully and do not interrupt the installation process.

Note: Some low-end PCs may struggle to run Windows 11 smoothly, even if they fulfill the minimum requirements. In such scenarios, I would advise you to continue using Windows 10 and consider upgrading your hardware.

Download a Windows 11 ISO, just as we did for the methods above.
Double-click and mount the ISO as a virtual drive, and the new drive should open automatically. …
Open a Command Prompt window.

Don’t waste your time, OP.

Even if the OP can install Windows 11, there is no guarantee that it will run correctly/efficiently. It’s not a good idea to try updating an older, low-end computer and the OP is better off buying another, low-end computer with Windows 11 already installed.

Can be Upgraded to Windows 11 Depends on Several Factors

In reply to How to Update Window 10 to Windows 11 on low end PC?

Whether or not your NCS i5 4th Generation PC can be upgraded to Windows 11 depends on several factors, including the hardware specifications of your PC and the compatibility requirements of Windows 11.

Microsoft has released a list of minimum system requirements for Windows 11, which include a 64-bit processor with at least 2 cores and 1 GHz clock speed, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage. Your PC’s hardware should meet or exceed these requirements in order to be eligible for the upgrade.

In addition to hardware requirements, Windows 11 also has compatibility requirements related to features such as TPM (Trusted Platform Module) version 2.0, Secure Boot, and DirectX 12 or later. It’s important to check whether your PC meets these requirements before attempting to upgrade to Windows 11.

You can use the PC Health Check app provided by Microsoft to check if your PC meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11. If your PC does not meet the requirements, you may need to upgrade your hardware or consider purchasing a new PC that meets the requirements.

If your PC meets the requirements for Windows 11, you can upgrade to Windows 11 using the Windows Update feature in Windows 10. However, it’s important to note that upgrading to Windows 11 may result in some software compatibility issues, so it’s recommended to backup your data and important files before proceeding with the upgrade.

1. Check your PC Compatibility

Before you update your Windows 10 to Windows 11, make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements. Microsoft has provided a PC Health Check app that can help you verify your PC’s compatibility with Windows 11. If your PC is not compatible, you may need to upgrade your hardware.

2. Free up space

Updating to Windows 11 requires enough space on your PC. You need to have at least 64 GB of free space on your PC to install Windows 11. If you don’t have enough space, delete unnecessary files or move them to an external drive.

3. Update your drivers

Make sure your device drivers are up to date before you begin the Windows 11 upgrade process. Drivers are software that helps your hardware communicate with your operating system. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues and errors during the upgrade process.

4. Use Media Creation Tool

If your PC is compatible with Windows 11 and you have enough free space, you can use the Media Creation Tool to download and install Windows 11. This tool will guide you through the installation process and help you create a bootable USB drive or DVD.

5. Clean install

If your PC is still struggling with the Windows 11 update, you may need to perform a clean install. This means you will need to wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows 11 from scratch. However, this should be a last resort option as it can be time-consuming and requires you to back up your important files before the installation.

Windows 11 has higher system requirements than Windows 10, so if you have a low-end PC, you may not be able to update to Windows 11. However, if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, you can follow these steps to update:

Check your PC’s compatibility: Visit the official Microsoft website to check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. If your PC does not meet the minimum requirements, you will not be able to update to Windows 11.

Make sure Windows 10 is up to date: Before you can update to Windows 11, make sure your Windows 10 is up to date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click “Check for updates” to make sure your PC is running the latest version of Windows 10.

Download the Windows 11 Update Assistant: Go to the official Microsoft website and download the Windows 11 Update Assistant. Run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade your PC to Windows 11.

Use the Media Creation Tool: Alternatively, you can use the Media Creation Tool to upgrade to Windows 11. Download the tool from the official Microsoft website, run it, and select the “Upgrade this PC now” option. Follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade to Windows 11.

Note that even if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, it may still not run smoothly on a low-end PC. If you experience performance issues or other problems after upgrading to Windows 11, you may need to consider downgrading back to Windows 10 or upgrading your PC’s hardware to better support Windows 11.
