Windows 11 Upgrade & Hardware Check Scripts

This repository has two PowerShell scripts.
They check if your PC can run Windows 11 and help upgrade it.

Scripts

1. W11_Hardware_Check.ps1

• Checks main requirements for Windows 11:
  • TPM present and ready
  • Secure Boot enabled
  • CPU name and cores
  • RAM size
  • Disk size and free space
• Saves results to C:\log\W11_Check_Result.txt

2. W11_Upgrade_Bypass.ps1

• Upgrades Windows 10 to 11.
• Can skip some checks (TPM, Secure Boot, CPU, RAM) using registry.
• Saves upgrade log to C:\temp\upgrade_log.txt

Note

• Normally, updating appraiserres.dll is needed for unsupported upgrades.
• Using Rufus USB with TPM bypass is easier and safer.
• Upgrade logs are under C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther.
• Check Compat* log files there. Look for Hard or False entries.

How to Use

1. Run W11_Hardware_Check.ps1 to see if your PC can run Windows 11.
2. If your PC is unsupported, run W11_Upgrade_Bypass.ps1.
3. Check logs for details:
   • Hardware check log: C:\log\W11_Check_Result.txt
   • Upgrade log: C:\temp\upgrade_log.txt
   • Setup logs: C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther

Warning

• Use scripts at your own risk.
• Skipping checks may cause problems.
• Back up your data before upgrading.
