My Old Computer Doesn’t Have What it Takes
Alas, this nine-year-old Dell PC does not have a secure boot option, so it cannot run Windows 11. Also, the old Dell PC does not support TPM (Trusted Platform Module), and its processor does not meet Windows 11’s requirements. Generally, computers with processors made before 2017 do not meet the requirements to run Windows 11.
But my newer computer can run Windows 11.
Windows 11 is a free upgrade for all Windows 10 users, provided their computer’s hardware supports it. If your computer supports Windows 11 you can upgrade to Windows 11 by using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant.
You can use Windows 10 Safely Until October 14, 2025, but Beyond That, It’s Going to Cost You
Microsoft says all Windows 10 users will continue to get updates for Windows 10 until October 14, 2025.
If you want to use Windows 10 (safely) past October 14, 2025, you can, but it will cost you. Learn more here.
Bummer, both my Dell PC and Dell Laptop can’t update to Windows 11. Means big bucks to replace both sometime next year.
Thanks so much for all the free info you provide to us.
