I need advice about Windows 11 on my old computer

6. Requirements for Win 11

Windows 11 has a few requirements, one of those being "Secure Boot" with a Trusted Platform Module or a TPM chip.

Given that you have had your computer for a long time, since Windows 7 (wow!), it will be impossible to meet these requirements. Newer hardware comes with these features.

Good news and bad news:

The good news is that Windows 10 will be supported for consumers until October 14, 2025 so you still have some time to use Windows 10 and receive regular updates.

The bad news is that the hardware you have will never be compatible with Windows 11 due to it needing a more secure boot-up process.

Now, there are ways to "bypass" the requirement checks for Secure Boot & TPM 2.0 and install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, but you are risking the security of your computer and it may be a more involved process than you're willing to do.
