Running Windows 11 on Surface Pro 5 2017

[mojorising]

The Surface Pro 5 (2017) is currently not supported for Win11

It is disappointing that a relatively new machine coming from MS cannot run Win11

There is a semi-official Regedit hack that can allow the check to be bypassed and win 11 to be installed

But there is a lack of clarity around whether Win11 will actually run on SP5

Has anybody installed Win 11 on SP5 using the hack and been successful?

Do Windows Updates run OK?

I have Surface Pro 5 i5 8GB

I have the same SP so will watch to see what responses you get. Still on W10 Pro and expect will have to stay.

If this is not your main device, l suggest joining the Dev Channel and slapping Windows 11 on it. I did it on my Surface Go and it works well.

Here is a vid to show that someone has put Windows 11 on their Surface Pro 5

I have it installed and running (well) on an SP3 8GB 256, if that helps.

I used the register hack to install 11 on my sp4, everything works well…

I am still getting Windows 11 updates on my Surface Go. This is my secondary device.

I am running it on my Surface Pro 5 Advanced LTE.
I used this manual: Ways to install Windows 11

It is running just fine and I am happy I did it. Finally there is good speech recognition for Dutch!

Every now and then I have a BSOD and if I do, there is a chance I will get one or more again after a while. But it is ok

Glad to read that others have put Windows 11 on unsupported devices and that things are going very well.
