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 into another laptop so I can use it whilst I wait for spare parts.
The other laptop is windows 11 hardware suitable and has prompted me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
Q. if I upgrade the original SSD from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and then when the original laptop is fixed, I put the SSD drive back into the original laptop, will the SSD drive which is now windows 11 cause any Microsoft hardware compatibility issues such a TPM and could this cause the laptop to not boot correctly ?
Note: my Windows 10 laptop was not originally Windows 11 compatible due to Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 not being present.

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.

Understood and I remember your how-to-do to enable windows 11 on windows 10 unsupported machines.
It was only that I swapped over SSD drive to newer Laptop and was presented with option to upgrade to Windows 11 so thought great idea for others also.
Nice to have other options it is.
Both laptops are Intel so will give it a try and see if this way of upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 works

It will work, but you have to register old Win7 key again (if not embedded in bios) and I wont do it, because of lot of wrong drivers from new laptop in your Win-system.

And if you use preinstalled win-keys they must be for same version, you cant easily change form home to professional or back.
So both laptops need to use same version of Windows while Win7/8/10/11 will work all on Win11.

That sounds logical, would be great to have Home and Upgrade to Professional for free, but life is not that kind

You can do it if you have a pro key from any Win7 upto 11.
Could be done with some registry keys and inplace upgrade with iso (if I remember correctly).
Did it once for a friend long time ago to run RDP (Win Remote Desktop) which is only part of pro version (for other direction home might be enough).To be found on above forum too (eventually a bit hard for you

I will be happy (I think) with with Windows 11 home on my original Dell laptop when the spare part arrives and I have upgraded
Note: Remote Desktop is not a feature available on Windows 11 Home, only on Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise but luckily not a service I need.

So the part arrived for my Dell 7570 laptop over the weekend and I have now removed the SSD drive (which I upgraded to Windows 11) from the newer laptop and added it to my Dell 7570 and is now running Windows 11 with only one minor driver issue.
I will look at it over the next few days when I have more time.

More for others reading this thread, I did notice after upgrading to Windows 11, I lost access to the System Cooling Policy under power options > advanced settings which did mean laptop cooling fan was very active whilst plugged in.
The only option available under power options > advanced settings > processor power management > was minimum processor state and maximum processor state.
So to re-add the system cooling policy, I created via notepad the following .reg document named – ‘Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00’ and added the below text.
ref file name: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00.reg
—–
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\94D3A615-A899-4AC5-AE2B-E4D8F634367F]
“Attributes”=dword:00000002—–
Then I saved the Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00.reg file to my desktop and doubled clicked the file and approved the question it asks to add the necessary reg files to allow changes to the registry.
System Cooling Policy now Available
