Windows 11 Upgrade Service in Orange County, CA
Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10 in October 2025 — leaving millions of PC owners with unsupported hardware facing a difficult choice: buy a new computer or find a way to upgrade. IT Solve Hub offers a professional Windows 11 upgrade service for Orange County residents that installs Windows 11 on computers that don’t meet Microsoft’s official hardware requirements — without replacing your hardware.
Why Microsoft Says Your PC Can’t Upgrade
Windows 11 officially requires TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and a supported CPU from Intel’s 8th generation or AMD Ryzen 2000 series or newer. Millions of perfectly capable computers — some only 4-5 years old — fail these requirements not because they can’t run Windows 11, but because of arbitrary hardware restrictions Microsoft imposed. The good news: these restrictions can be bypassed by a knowledgeable technician, and Windows 11 runs perfectly well on most of this hardware.
What We Do
- Hardware compatibility assessment — We evaluate your specific CPU, RAM, storage, and GPU to confirm Windows 11 will run well on your machine
- TPM & Secure Boot configuration — Enable TPM 1.2/2.0 and Secure Boot in BIOS where available

- Driver installation & optimization — All drivers updated and configured for Windows 11 compatibility

Is My Computer Compatible?
Most computers from 2015 onwards with at least 4GB RAM and 64GB storage can run Windows 11 well with our upgrade method. Computers older than 2013 or with very limited RAM may struggle with Windows 11’s performance requirements even after installation. We provide an honest assessment before any work begins — we won’t upgrade your computer if it won’t run well.
Why Upgrade to Windows 11 Instead of Buying New?

- Keep your data — No need to migrate files and reinstall everything
- Security — Windows 10 support ended October 2025 — staying on it is a security risk
