Hi, I seriously doubt that a computer that can run Windows 10 cannot run Windows 11. When I recently install Windows 11 Pro as VirtualBox gueston a Linux host I first got "This PC can't run Windows 11 This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to install this version of Windows. For more information, visit https://aka.ms/WindowsSysReq ". By following https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/post/install-microsoft-windows-11-on-virtualbox I successfully installed Windows 11 Pro. >I have created a boot only CD and tried to boot-up with that disk >installed in the PC.
