If you're comfortable with it, you could also try a clean install of Windows 11 instead of the upgrade, as that sometimes bypasses the checker.

Agreed. Yeah, agreed. Just be sure to back up everything first, as a clean install will wipe your drive.

Yeah, I had the same problem with an older laptop. The 4GB RAM requirement is strict, so I ended up just sticking with Windows 10 on that machine.

Agreed. Yeah, that's the official line. A quick tip: if you're up for it, checking if your motherboard supports a RAM upgrade can be a cheap fix.

You could also try a clean boot to see if background apps are reserving too much RAM, but honestly, upgrading to at least 8GB is your best bet. Hope that helps.

Agreed. Yeah, and if you do look into more RAM, just double-check your motherboard supports it first to save a headache. Let me know if that works.
