What is the best way to install windows 11?

[SHREDDER]

About 2 months ago i talked with one of my colleagues at the office about windows 11 and how to install it on pc that dont have the requirements. He told md that he installed it succesfuly on his parents pc that is from 2012 and also at the pc on the office and both of them work well with it. He then suggest me that instead of changing cpu ram and motjherboard it is better if i install it with Rufus or with the registry method and save some money and keep my current cpu ram and motherboard until they die.
I trust him because i know him for 6 years. But after i read here the 3 methods to do it https://www.xda-developers.com/install-windows-11-unsupported-pc/
i wonder which one is the best?
1 Rufus?
2 Command prompt
or registry?
Which one of the 3 will be best?

Well yea like BionicSeaSerpent said.
You can boot from Win11 usb and then install OS to same drive as Win10 and the old OS and personal files will get moved to 'c:/windows.old'

As i said i have downloaded windows 11 and Rufus since APril but i havent install it yet becausei havent decided how to do it.
Install them with rufus? Or wait until 10 support ends and then change cpu ram and motherboared?
Amd announced that they will release Ryzen 9000 and X800 motherboards in a few weeks. Maybe it is better to buy a Ryzen 9700 with 32 GB DDR5 8000 MHZ and a X800 motherboard and then download 11 with windows update and instead of doing all this with rufus to install it on my curent cpu without chaning it?

You first have to insert a USB flash drive that you can wipe clean. Run Rufus and within Rufus select the Win11 ISO from local drive and go from there.

You can wait to install Win11 onto your new PC, then use the old Win10 key to activate Win11 on the new PC for free

best too to use is Ventoy.

Can't be that good, never heard of it. Even all the Asian techs use Rufus and we've been using that since the early days of WinXP. It does a fine job and allows you to disable all of the stupid Ms requirements for Win11 when you make the USB so they are bypassed during install

Ventoy is a little different. instead of having to rewrite the images to the USB you boot into Ventoy itself and pick from the list of images you just drag and drop onto the USB with ventoy installed.

That does not seem like it would be helpful to put Win11 on a machine that is either not supported or you simply want to bypass the whole TPM and other requirements.

Can it do that?

Ventoy is the best for making bootable media but pretty sure it can't bypass the requirements because all it actually does is make bootable media that you drag and drop ISOs into

Ok so then it's fairly useless for Win11; nuff said.

you don't really need to have the tool do that anyway. more than likely you have a phone or internet connected device that can instruct you the way to regedit or let you add the registry file to avoid all this artifical limitation. and its really not hard to do it manually anyways

I meant more for when you trying to help someone else while explaining this to them in the simplest way. That's why I recommend using Rufus (especially for Win11 usb creation) in the first place. Most people are not comfortable doing all that extra BS. Sure I can do it that way, for me, but that's another story.

YESTERDAY when i pend the pc it showed me a message that said that support of windows 10 is ending on october 2025 and showed the links for help to upgrading to 11 and links to buy a new pc.
it seems that microsoft started sening these message to those who pcs dont have the requirements of 11.
even if they know that with rufus we can install them on all pc
now the question is:
Install them with rufus in this 1,4 year that remains of 10 support? or buy a ryzen 9000 with ddr5 ram and x800 motherboard and download them with windows update?

Install from USB drive using media installation tool. And if you want to be double make sure you can reinstall Windows again using the built in OS settings to get the OS from Microsoft servers direct. Nothing running off the USB. Just your drive and the server.

move to linux. start on a VM and then try on real hardware once your comfortable with the interface. running from a USB doesn't even touch windows until you install. then finally once you've confirmed the majority of things work via transaltion layers or alternatives, replace. or just dual boot

1st Gen Ryzen does not support Win11 via Microsoft's requirements; that's why I suggested Rufus in the first place.
