# Inplace Upgrade via Server Setup. (Current release: Windows 11 2024 Update l Version 24H2)
# This method leverages the Windows Server variant of the Windows setup, which skips most hardware compatibility checks. It allows Windows 11 to be installed on unsupported PCs, bypassing the usual system requirements. Importantly, while the setup runs in server mode, it installs the standard Windows 11 (not the server version).
