Confidence is low but I will give it a whirl. Are you doing it from within Windows or boot from USB?

Unfortunately it did not work. Your system must be eligible.
Man of Honour
My CPU isn't eligible (6700K) but I do have Secure Boot, TPM etc all compliant. Do you get an error message?
Soldato
Yeah, it is The processor isn't supported for this version of Windows.
Man of Honour
If using the media creation tool to upgrade then you will have the option to "Accept" the warning, I posted a screenshot earlier of the same thing I got, just accept that and you can then begin the upgrade.
Soldato
Ah I see your screen shot and that is not the screen I get. I have no option to accept.
Man of Honour
What CPU is it that you have? Maybe they've updated the allowed list or something in the final I'm wondering?
Soldato
Downloading and installing on my Surface Pro now.

Couldn't sleep with the buzz so got up and decided to install it. Very, very quick from scratch. Best thing I've found so far? Having a giant blue arrow as my mouse pointer! 
Downloaded the "final" ISO from the link above and installed on my ye olde Haswell. Still getting driver updates (even though it failed because my internet gimped out 
)

How did you manage that? It’s telling me my 4790K is unsupported…
I’d like to give 11 a try, my 10 install seems to have gone a bit flakey, but I have no desire to upgrade my hardware yet as it’s still fine for my needs.
Caporegime
I have a 4690K in one of my machines and I had to:
- Enable Secure Boot in the BIOS, which also involved converting my drive from MBR to GPT (or it won't boot)
- Use the GitHub media creation tool to create a W11 ISO
- Do a fresh install (it wouldn't work from within Windows 10; kept saying hardware was unsupported)

Does in place upgrade work ok? Don’t fancy reinstalling all my games.
Caporegime
Great stuff, thank you.
Soldato
So what's the general opinion on windows 11? Wondering if it's worth upgrading day one, or waiting for it to mature a bit.

The biggest benefit for me so far is for people with HTPCs / media stations in terms of HDMI handshakes and HDR.
The HDMI handling of sounds and connected soundbars etc. is now seemingly bug free and reliable, whereas before I had all kinds of fun getting sound to work after resuming from sleep. HDR seems to just work every time automatically.
It also handles multiple window layouts much better.
