Thank! You can upgrade to Windows 11 on old hardware with either GPT or MBR file systems. However, using GPT is recommended for better compatibility and features, especially with UEFI firmware.
Not all computers have SSE4.2 support. To find out if your computer does, you can check the specifications of your CPU on the manufacturer's website or use a free tool like CPU-Z to get detailed information about your processor.
Thanks but no thanks. Moving on after decades of use. Windows 11 spyware with must buy a new computer was the last straw. Tired of Microsoft BS. Linux Mint install easiest method would be appreciated however.
Suggest giving Kubuntu and Zorin a look. Can give both a spin first in a virtual machine....tons of how to videos. Zorin is great for a person used to Windows, but not so techie. Also great on old PCs.
Nice video. Question, to upgrade to Windows 11 on old hardware besides the TPM issue, must the file system be GPT or can it be MBR?

Why didn"t you install updates during installion?
You can Bypass Tpm /Secure boot option but you cannot bypass SSE4.2 Which is compulsory or else installation will be failed on boot up time

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get your concerns about Windows 11. Linux Mint is a great choice-easy to use and privacy-friendly
