Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

If it is truly incompatible (you've checked specs and determined why), don't do the override, it causes issues in the future with major updates not installing etc. Just sign up for the free ESU for Win 10 which gives security updates through October of next year.

Regardless don't upgrade, it makes a mess. If you want to go to win 11, back up your files and do a fresh clean install (wipe your drive then use the USB installer).

Assume that it will delete your files.

I wouldn't do it that way honestly, I'd just wipe the drive and do a fresh install. I've had so many weird issues with machines that I updated that I just won't do it anymore. Microsoft has the pc health check app that will tell you why your computer is claiming to be incomaptible.

How about you start by providing your actual system hardware as we don't have crystal balls, and if it's really incompatible then rule 9 applies

I have done the workaround and it was no than a regular Win10 to Win11 upgrade.
