Installing Windows 11 on an 11 year old PC?

[Retrokomodo]

I finally did a new video!!

With the unprecedented amount of e-waste about to be generated by the end of support for Windows 10, and as everyone scrabbles to get a new supported computer, this video looks at if you can install Windows 11 on something you really shouldn't be able to: A PC from 2014. Plus - I wrote a song!

Really I should have tried to make the video 11 mins and 11 seconds long.. Ah well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Direct link to my E-Waste song! https://aisonggenerator.io/share/0bf63fa6-a54b-4d7f-abda-479532ee3a9b

Cool, looking forward to it!
Interesting for me to see because I also own a 2014 beast of a PC (for its time).

Looking forward to it.

This 11/11 theme you've created there is really good.

Nice demo @Retrokomodo, looking forward to your next video.

It's great that it's still possible to get round the hardware requirements, even with the new 25H2.

I really like that tune. I don't care if it's AI generated with your human lyrics, it rocks. Any chance of releasing it on its own as a YouTube video? What about an instrumental version too as I really like those?

@Hitcore check out the song, starting at 3:17.

Thanks! So I didn't come a cropper with any recent W11 restriction changes I used an older build, and then just used Windows update. I've put a direct link to the song in the main post if you want to listen!

Quite enjoyable, @Retrokomodo !
I really like the idea of filling the time of the installation process with a song. Very fitting lyrics too, and I agree with the sentiment. I also tend to squeeze every last bit out of my computers.

Thanks! I'll be trying to put a song into everything from now on. I think that's going to be one of my 'things'. I already have a 'sarcastic montage' song and one for my long gestating Fatal1ty build..

Hey Retro, i'm looking into sub-channel creation!
