Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.

    I received an email saying Microsoft will remove my PC off the insider program because it does not meet the minimum requirement for Windows 11. I have two PCs on my home network signed in with the same hotmail account on both. One of them does not meet the requirement and the other one is less than one year old, 10th Gen. Intel Core-i 7, TPM 2.0 is also present on this PC. How can I stay in the insider program for this PC?

    What's going to happen to installed programs/apps if you install the Insider build of Windows 11? Nothing? Or will every program/app be deleted like on a Windows 10 refresh?

    It should allow to upgrade keeping all the files and programs even if you do it from an ISO file or Installation Media.

    Hi

    As SuttisakDenduangchai said, You need your disk to be in gpt and not mbr, secure boot doesn't support gpt. see here for more info.

    Follow his directions to do it.
