## What it is
A free open-source Windows application that upgrades eligible and ineligible PCs to Windows 11 by bypassing Microsoft's hardware requirements (TPM, Secure Boot, CPU checks). It offers in-place upgrade, data-only install, and clean install options with multi-language support.

## Use cases
- upgrade to windows 11 on unsupported hardware
- bypass TPM and CPU requirements for windows 11
- clean install windows 11 on an old PC
- keep files and apps while upgrading to windows 11
- install windows 11 without secure boot

## When to choose
- your PC fails Windows 11 hardware checks but you want to upgrade anyway
- you want a simple GUI tool instead of manual registry hacks
- you need upgrade, data-only, or clean install options in one tool

## When to avoid
- your hardware already meets Windows 11 requirements (use official installer)
- you need a supported, Microsoft-sanctioned upgrade path for production machines
- you are not on Windows 10 or later
