No, the Aspire TC-780 desktop has a 6th or a 7th Gen Intel cpu and it hasn't got a mainboard TPM 2.0 security chip, so its not compatible with Win-11. Have a look at this guide How to install Windows 11 on almost any unsupported PC - XDA … good luck and hope this helps you out.

Upgrade from 7th gen to newer requires a motherboard, CPU and memory swap. Just keep running Windows 10 and budget for a new system.

Hi @2inSD this equipment is designed to work with Windows 10:
And it is not compatible with Windows 11:
Run this utility to learn more about its compatibility:
All the best.

I inquired about installing Windows 11 on an Acer TC 780 with an Intel 6400 quad cpu. Some said you cannot do this, it is an illegal install. You must have hacked the install.
I assure you I don't even know how to hack computers. I am a person who cannot afford to purchase a new computer again. This computer is very capable, since I upgraded to 16gbs. memory for what I need it to do. Some internet. I don't game, I dont visit Shady illegal websites.
So, In doing research, some websites have said with 24H2 update you can now clean install Windows 11 on more computers indicating that they opened up compatibility to more computers with the end of life of windows 11 drawing near.
This encouraged me to try. I purchased a NEW M.2 drive (I run the operating system on the ssd for more speed) and use a Hard drive for my Music, Video and Photo storage. Much easier for me to back up.
Thats all I did. Windows 11 home installed easily and gave me no warnings or pushbacks on the processor.
Why would this be considered a hack or being Illegal?
Here is what my TPM Manager says (TPM.MSC)

Thank you for letting the Acer community know 2inSD as we can only gain knowledge by community members giving feedback on their Acer products on things like these. As Microsoft must have changed the minimum Win-11 specs which were a min 8th Gen cpu and a mobo TPM 2.0 chip.

Microsoft is still giving the same info as they have for the last few years. 8th gen and later installs only, any install on a 6th gen system will not be licensed.
