Bootable USB for Unsupported PC - Windows 11 23H2

Microsoft blocking installation of Windows 11 on unsupported devices this is what people are discussing on the internet but let's find out is it true today I will show you how to create a bootable USB drive with Windows 1123 H2 version for unsupported devices also I will install the latest version of Windows 11 on Lenovo tankpad l430 laptop for people who don't know this laptop since 2013 many of my subscribers may think that this is a joke because I already have a similar videos about 22 H2 version but listen 232 version is a completely different version and theoretically Microsoft could make drastic changes for unsupported devices so let's get it started first of all we need to open our browser I will open Microsoft edge browser then you need to type next download Windows 11 press enter here you may see Microsoft official website microsoft.com a link I will leave in the video description click on it on this page you may notice that we can download the latest 23 H2 version scroll down a little bit until you will see download Windows 11 dis image ISO for x64 devices then you need to click on select download and select Windows 11 multi- Edition ISO click on download now at this stage you need to select the suitable language for the example I will select English United States click here and select confirm as you can see we have info download Windows 11 English in my case so you need to click on 64bit download downloading process begin as you can see this is Windows 1123 H2 English and it takes 6.2 gigabytes of space I need to wait about 20 minutes to download an ISO file as you can see I successfully downloaded Windows 1123 H2 and now one more time we need to open our browser to download and install Rufus or we will run a portable version so here you need to type Rufus download and press enter most likely you will see this info scroll down a little bit until you will see Rufus downloads of course I will leave a link in the video description click on Rufus downloads from this page we can download the ruus program this program is quite convenient we can create a portable operating system also we can create a bootable USB drive in my case I will select this version the latest portable version that's mean it's not necessary to install this version because it will run as a portable application so I will click here I succeed now we can open the folder click on show in folder close the browser no need to use it anymore now please pay attention and take your time because we need to install our USB stick into the laptop or PC I recommend to have at least 8 gab of storage I think it will be the minimum requirements to create a bootable USB stick if you have 4 GB or 2 GB sorry it will be not suitable my friends I successfully connected my USB stick into the laptop it has 32 GB of storage and yes in the past there was Tiny 11 actually it doesn't matter because all information will be deleted from your usb drive so if you have some important files or data on it I recommend to save them before doing this after you install USB stick into the laptop we need to run Rufus double click select yes do you want to allow ruus to check for application updates online I will select no because this is the latest version we are in the rofus everything is very simple in the device you need to select your USB stick indeed it is my USB drive tiny 11 32 G aytes of storage next you need to select ISO so for this you need to select dis or ISO image here and after that you need to move the most cursor and click on select navigate to the place where is your ISO file so in my case I need to navigate to desktop so I will click on this PC select desktop mine and here it is Windows 1123 H2 click here and select open good after that in the image option leave standard Windows installation because if you select Windows to go it will create a portable operating system but in our case we want to create a bootable USB drive to install Windows 11 on HDD or SSD drive select standard Windows installation as you can see in the Target system by default we have UEFI and we cannot change this option but if you want to run in legacy mode Legacy support quite older models you need to select GP PT partition to MBR then if you wish you can name your file for example I will type Windows 11 23 H2 and click on start in this window I recommend to check all of these boxes as you can see we can remove requirements for 4 GB of RAM secure Boot and TPM 2.0 also we can remove requirement for an online Microsoft account we can create a local account one more time time I recommend to check all of these boxes I think it will be the best solution and click okay here we have warning all data will be deleted destroyed so be sure to save all important files before deleting all information from your usb drive and click okay the process of creating a bootable USB drive with Windows 1123 H2 begin in our situation we just need to wait and then we will proceed to the next stage mission accomplished now we can close this window and safely remove USB stick from the laptop but for this we need to click here select our USB drive click on it and after seeing this message you can safely remove your flash drive from the laptop it's been a while since I last time showed this laptop this is L NOA ThinkPad l430 laptop and today this laptop will try to handle Windows 1123 H2 first I want to say even some older laptops and computers cannot run Windows 202 H2 so don't be surprised if some machine cannot run Windows 20 3h2 let's move forward as you can see I created a bootable USB drive this is my USB stick and it has 32 GB of space right now I'm going to insert this USB stick into the laptop my advice for you I think it will work on most machines so you can turn on your laptop or PC and press F12 key there's a high probability that it will enter a boot menu turn on the machine and press F12 key in this window you need to select your USB stick with Windows 11 so in my case I need to select USB HDD USB send dis 3.2 first generation I will press enter right now you may see Windows 11 logo so I will not activate Windows 11 I will just try to install Windows 11 and get the latest updates here we are in the installation window select next install now as I previously said I don't have a license so I will select I don't have a product key for the example I will select Windows 11 Pro click on next and voila now we can install of Windows check all agreements and terms click next now I will select Advanced option select each of these partitions and delete them the thing is this hard drive has 320 Gab if you want to install Windows 10 or Windows 11 you can allocate about 80 gab or if you wish you can allocate 100 gigabytes I think it will be more than enough click on new and for the example you can type 83,000 megabytes select apply click okay as you can see we successfully allocated almost 81 gigabytes of space so now we can choose this partition and click next now we just need to wait you will not see any messages that you need to bypass Windows 11 system requirements or your system doesn't meet Windows 11 system requirements I successfully installed Windows 11 on an HDD drive and laptop May restart several times that's normal don't worry about that will Microsoft block windows 11 on this old laptop my friends I successfully connected to the internet and now let's check the version of the windows so I will click on the system open it in full screen to make it more convenient first of all you may notice that I have Intel Core 3110m processor base frequency is 2.4 GHz and if we scroll down a little bit you may notice that we have vends 11 Pro 23 H2 version I want to share my thoughts on this I didn't receive any messages about P compatibility with Windows 11 so in my case this laptop works on Windows 11 moreover I will try to get the latest up updates whether you like it or not but it automatically starts searching for the latest updates as you can see I receive almost all of these updates One update isn't available actually it is Intel HD graphic driver it's not a big deal because I can manually install this driver for Windows 10 and it will work without any problems fellas I want to say one very important thing if your laptop or PC doesn't work stapely on vs Al just go back to Windows 10 yes I know Windows 10 will support till 2025 it's still good upating system it works stably with most old laptops and even with newer machines for example my current laptop not this one works stably on Windows 10 so if you would like to install it on an SSD drive believe me it will work faster my conclusions at the moment I manag to install Windows 11 on an un support the device but I will not be surprised if in the future Microsoft will plug this opportunity if this video was helpful for you please like it and I recommend watching this video on how to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11232 on an unsupported PC
