Ok so recently got a laptop with i7 7820HQ processor , after checking the requirements every check is in place except the processor , since i cannot "upgrade" to windows 11 was wondering this is a fresh laptop so no data loss and lot of room to play around so if i can go the manual route and install windows 11 using uefi enabled bootable pendrive. , if its easy to ask here then do installation and find out yes/no ...if yes then all is well....but if its NO then again make a win 10 bootable , reinstall all softwares .
 
It can be done, I installed win 11 on my laptop with i5 7th gen.

Just check with pc health check and ensure you have tpm in BIOS.

I would suggest you to stick to windows 10 though, windows 11 is not that good if you don't need the extra features it has.

i am using windows since win95 , up till recently i was still using Windows 7 because imho its the most stable OS till date, since win 7 support is ended and switched to 10 and feel it has evolved beautifully . since got a fresh laptop just wanted to tinker around with windows 11...but if there is no major upgrade in win 11 i would like to stick to windows 10.

Stick to Windows 10 if all your apps work fine with it, no need to change unless the apps require windows 11.

Win 11 has some UI features which can be very annoying to some users like no right click copy/paste option in menu & instead there are cut copy paste tiny icons. There are many other such things in win 11 UI. I would suggest win 11 only on laptops that came pre-installed with win 11 or on pc where for gamers win 11 has some noticeable performance improvement in games often played.

Is it possible to install older versions of Windows on newer hardware that doesn't support it?
 
Even you don't have TPM or your processor is not supported, you can still install and run windows 11 after some tweaks.

Please Google " Upgrade to Windows 11 on Unsupported PCs" and also "Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update". This will enable you to upgrade to Windows 11.
