Upgrade Unsupported Windows 11 to 24H2 in 24H ⏱️

In this video I will explain how to upgrade an existing Windows 11 installation on unsupported hardware that is on version 23H2, 22H2 or even older, to the latest version of Windows 11, 24H2.

In the video, we will take a look at the considerations before upgrading, followed by the upgrade and quickly exploring some of the new features in the 24H2 release. This works for both Windows 11 Home and Professional.
