**Subject: Windows 11 upgrade is a NIGHTMARE** So my PC meets the RAM and stora?

Same here. I had the same problem. The Installation Assistant trick worked for me, but just a heads up, you might lose official support for future updates.

+1 You could also try using the Media Creation Tool to do a clean install, but that will wipe your drive.

You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to perform a clean install, which sometimes bypasses upgrade blockers.

+1 Yeah, and just to add, double-check that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are enabled in your BIOS, as that's a common blocker even with a compatible CPU. Good luck!

[gtx1848]

Agreed, and if you're still stuck, try using the PC Health Check app from Microsoft—it usually gives a clearer breakdown of what's missing. Let me know if that works.

Can confirm. I had the same problem with an older CPU. The PC Health Check app confirmed it was incompatible, which was a real letdown.

[xJYyXUvWSmq]

Yeah, that's the compatibility list hitting hard. A quick tip: you can sometimes bypass it with a clean install using an ISO, but you'll lose official support. Let me know if that works.

+1 You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, as it sometimes handles compatibility checks a bit differently. Another option is checking if your motherboard has a TPM setting you can enable in the BIOS.

[fm67237]

Agreed. Yeah, that's the main issue. A quick tip: double-check that Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too, it's a common second requirement that gets missed.
