Windows 11 upgrade check in Barrackpore

Before quoting a Windows 11 upgrade, we test the CPU, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, RAM and free storage. If the laptop passes, migration is ₹1,499 labour including a backup; the licence is billed at cost. If it fails, we explain the supported options instead of forcing an unsupported install.

What the upgrade includes

If the laptop is not supported

We do not force an unsupported install and hand you a laptop that may stop receiving updates. Options: stay on Windows 10 with a security-first setup, upgrade the RAM/SSD and keep the current OS, or put the budget toward a supported laptop. You get the test result and the trade-offs in writing.

Why back up first

An upgrade can fail on a failing drive or a bad battery. A backup turns a potential data loss into a recoverable setback. We take backup consent before starting and tell you where the backup lives.

Get a written price before you approve any work

Send the model and the symptom on WhatsApp. You get a diagnosis, the part cost and the final price before chargeable work starts. Bench diagnosis is ₹299 and is waived when you approve the repair.

Questions people ask

Can my laptop run Windows 11?

We test the CPU, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, RAM and storage before quoting. Some older laptops can enable TPM in BIOS; others cannot.

Will I lose my data?

A backup is included in the migration. We take consent before starting and verify the backup before the upgrade.

Is TPM 2.0 required?

Yes for a supported Windows 11 install. Some boards have a firmware TPM that can be enabled; others do not.

How long does the upgrade take?

Usually 2–4 hours including backup and post-upgrade checks, depending on the amount of data and the speed of the drive.

Do I need to buy a licence?

A genuine Windows 11 licence is billed at cost and is separate from the ₹1,499 labour. We confirm the licence status before starting.
