Question Can Alienware 17 r5 use Windows 11?

[Alienhouse]

Can Alienware 17 r5 use Windows 11 without trouble or security issues?

I tried installing it from a flash USB drive, however a prompt indicated it was not compatible.

I'm aware there may be ways around it so I came to explore possibilities and connect with others who might have successfully worked their way around it.

My biggest concern are security updates.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Maybe see if the prebuilt you have has a BIOS update pending that allows you to enable TPM in BIOS.

Hey there,

Which specific model. There are many with that basic info. Alternatively list out the hardware in the lappie, so we can see what CPU you have? It's likely an incompatible CPU, or no TPM/Secure boot.
