With Windows 10 past its end of support, many laptop owners in Delhi are planning an upgrade to Windows 11. Some laptops upgrade in a few clicks; others need BIOS changes, driver updates or hardware improvements first. Here is what to check and how our Gwal Pahari, Gurugram workshop can help.
Windows 11 requirements in plain English
- Processor: a supported, relatively recent Intel or AMD chip.
- TPM 2.0: a security chip, often built into the processor.
- UEFI and Secure Boot: modern boot settings.
- RAM: at least 4GB (8GB or more recommended for comfortable use).
- Storage: at least 64GB (an SSD makes a big difference).
TPM and Secure Boot: often just switched off
Many compatible laptops show as "not compatible" because TPM (sometimes called Intel PTT or AMD fTPM) or Secure Boot is disabled in BIOS. Enabling them can make the laptop eligible. Changing BIOS settings should be done carefully — especially switching from Legacy to UEFI mode, which can stop Windows booting if done incorrectly.

Upgrade or clean install?
- In-place upgrade keeps your files and apps. Good for healthy systems.
- Clean installation is better for slow or cluttered laptops, or when moving to a new SSD.
Read clean install vs reset for details.
Before upgrading
- Back up your files.
- Check your printer, scanner and key apps support Windows 11.
- Update BIOS and drivers.
- Free up at least 25–30GB of space.
Will Windows 11 run well on my laptop?
On laptops with an old hard drive or 4GB RAM, Windows 11 may feel slow. An SSD and extra RAM can transform performance — see SSD and RAM upgrades.

Frequently asked questions
Can unsupported laptops run Windows 11?
There are workarounds, but Microsoft does not support them and they may not receive updates. We advise against relying on them for important work.
Will my files stay after the upgrade?
An in-place upgrade keeps them, but always back up first.
Do I need a new licence?
Eligible Windows 10 licences usually carry over. Check current Microsoft terms.
