Reply To: Windows 11 Upgrade by a Different PC or Laptop Interesting thought, so had a windows 10 laptop die on me the other day which was not windows 11 compatible (hardware) and have plugged in the SSD (PCIe NVMe) drive…

Why dont you just update the old one with Win11. TPM is no limitation for it as most other requirements if you use my how-to-do from an older posting.
I (or more clearly my parents) run Win11 without any troubles on 16 years old XP machine with Intel dual core. Only needs to be x64 and at least 4GB memory.

You can do it in your way as well, but needs to be same platform (Intel <> AMD) and it will load many wrong drivers which not needed on older laptop and even may be some risc of conflict.

Short version: run update, when it reclaims open hidden folder in root and replace sources/appraiserres.dll with empty file (open text editor with no content and rename saved file), then rerun update from iso.
