🟢 Another NEW Way to Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 23h2 on Unsupported Systems, No Tools Required

[@woofinu]

Thanks! It worked for me in July 2024, following exactly what you said. The only difference was that on your PC it was "Local disk (C:)" and on mine it was "Windows (C:)". Most people would understand though.

[@cwtek1]

I am glad to help! Thanks for the donation!

[@woofinu]

@@cwtek1 Some people may disagree but I prefer Windows 11 over 10. I would not have dared to upgrade an unsupported system if you didn't make it seem so simple. Without your guide I would have spent a day in frustration and failed.

[@gc78aus]

Hi Chris, A huge thank you for this video, I followed your guide for my pc and also my daughters school laptop which is only a few years old and it worked an absolute treat ! Thank you so much for this info really appreciate it !

[@previousforest4642]

Hi, it is a fantastic demo, for me and maybe for others in the computer world. Thank you very much for your effort.

[@iCodeDre]

This worked very well for me. And for those that have problems with signing into work or school Microsoft account in the win 11 setup up; all you need to do is to downgrade to 2017 win 10 or win 8 and then sign in your Microsoft account. Then go ahead and follow the process in this video to upgrade back to win 11

[@Lofote]

This is complicated, why not go the easy "press shift-f10 during setup, set two registry keys AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU and LabConfig" way, as from day #1 of Windows 11? Is there something wrong with that way? (By the way, even if you use this way you go here, you don't need to extract the files to an own directory, you can directly start from sources subdir in the mounted ISO file (doubleclick on ISO mounts it as a virtual CD drive on all current Windows versions).

[@cwtek1]

Thanks for the tip but I prefer the way in the video and find it much easier and more official as this backdoor was obviously put in by Microsoft for a reason.

[@Lofote]

@@cwtek1Mmmh, the backdoor with the registry keys is much more clearly a backdoor intentionally put it. The way you go is put the setup program into Server installation. While it seems to still install Windows 11 client, there might be some things that are not obvious. For me this sounds more like a hack that can bring strange side effects :(...

thanks again Chris, for a spot on video. I reiterate my previous comment. All this security should be optional. Install it if you need or want it (and meet the hardware requirements), otherwise skip it.

Because the language of the version of windows that you have downloaded differs from the one you already have installed if you have downloaded an English version I.e English United States try downloading another version like English International or vice versa.

Many thanks for this video. Microsoft have deliberately made W10 buggy to force people to move to W11.

Excellent instructions . Worked perfect . The only problem was that a crack to office 2016 did not work. I purchased a legal office and now I am satisfied . Are there any warnings regarding future updates? as it is working now should eliminate future updates ?

[@Channel-iu6de]

Does not work for me :(. The first time I did it it came back with an error saying could not update windows and crashed, then rolled back and gave an error which apparently was related to not enough disk space. I cleaned up a heap of drive space to get 100gb of free space and ran the process again, but now the install does not run at all. It starts seeing if my computer is ready and then instead of bringing up the big blue window, it just closes out and thats as far as it'll go.

[@cwtek1]

It sounds like your windows 10 is either not compatible due to software or drivers or your 10 has a corruption which is preventing the upgrade.

[@charlestilley2576]

May want to open CMD as Administrator (while on Win 10) & run SFC /SCANNOW. Be sure to hit the space bar once after typing SFC (or copy/paste the command). Good Luck!👍

Hi Chris, do you know why copilot is not showing on unsupported pc’s? Is a general issue or behavior in that kind of pc’s?

Co-pilot is not currently available in the EU so if you are in the EU this could be a reason, also co-pilot is not being used on muti monitor systems. It seems that some people on supported systems are also not getting co-pilot, its early days so hopefully should be out soon for everyone.

Thanks for the tip.

[@charlestilley2576]

@byrd203 This is what I was asking about above, I didn't see in video where VirtualBox is needed!🥵 Figured someone in comments would bring it up & this must be why we cannot just mount the drive & begin install (or the commands doesn't work that way). Will still try it, but prefer WMWare Workstation (Free) over VBox. I also don't look forward to giving up so much RAM & CPU cores, there were no 8 core/16 thread options for the Z97 chipset. For X99, there's that many, plus 40 lanes for extra NVMe SSD's (3rd gen). 2 cores from my i7-4790K & 12GB of my 32GB XMP DDR3-2400 will slow my PC & use a lot of power. The native OS still must be booted for VirtualBox to run. There should be a setup like Wubi offered for XP to install Ubuntu, Linux Mint & other popular Linux distros inside of the native OS, yet both OS's had their own boot option (NOT a VM).💯

I have a 13 year old AMD FX 6100, 6 core, 3.3 which has been happily running on Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19045 and which dual boots with Ubuntu care of the CLOVER software (Clover operates from drive D: A permanently installed 256GB USB stick). The BIOS doesn't have UEFI, secure boot or TPM. Similarly, the BIOS does not support the M2 NVME (Drive C:, Windows is on C:) as a boot drive, but Clover does and it provides the NVME support courtesy of a permanently installed USB stick I have over the past year downloaded and installed multiple Windows 10 updaters without incident or noticeable impairment of Windows or Clover. Are any of the above complications likely cause problems with the Win_11 installation using the method depicted in your video ? Also, I notice that my version of W10 runs on English Language UK ! i.e. not US or International . . . hmmm ? I use this desktop just for playing around and experimentation (Being number three to two others) - there is no valuable or any personal data kept on this machine. Therefore, I am prepared to take a bit of risk as regards ne installations, but if problems can be avoided, then all to the good. Postscript: Transition all done, retaining all existing apps and files and including updates . . 3hours and 10 minutes door to door. . . and no issues along the way . . . fully automatic once the install process was set in motion. The discouraging thing is that its nearly as fast as the home built unit I replaced it with earlier this year.

Yes, as you say, things will be slower, plus if on a laptop, better bring your power brick or backup battery for long workdays. Or if one likes Windows 11, simply buy or build a new machine. Of course, it's impossible with most laptops, yet I see many at Costco on promo for as little as $599 plus taxes & any extra warranty. They double the OEM warranties on (most) computers & give a generous 90 day return period. Still, this method may be a decent & free way to see how one likes Windows 11.👍 I was looking for a way to upgrade Windows 10 Pro 22H2 to 11 Pro 23H2 w/out any VM involved. Newer computers can do this w/out extra steps, just download the ISO, mount & after data backup, as well as Full disk image, then start the upgrade process. With an NVMe SSD in place, should be done inside of 30 minutes!💯

upgrade from Windows 10 to Win 11 went well on the older laptop, no issues have a full backup copy if i need to go back

[@abogreisha3714]

I folowed all your steps but at the checking your pc i got tye message says this pc cant run windows server. Any suggestions?

[@cwtek1]

Please try restarting your PC (actually restart do not shutdown) then try again.

[@abogreisha3714]

@@cwtek1 I got the solution, the Bios needed upgrade after that all went very well., thanks. You doing awesome.

[@SlyerFox666]

Nice, an do you know if windows update will update without any issues this way ?

[@cwtek1]

As before it should do security updates but no feature updates.

[@SolidNate99]

Great video. Do you have a video of how to change from windows 11 home to windows 11 pro?

[@cwtek1]

You can pay for an upgrade in the Microsoft App Store, but I am not sure if it will accept the upgrade on unsupported systems.

[@Duckey123]

It no longer works. Comes back saying this computer doesn not meet..... :-(

[@cwtek1]

I am sorry to hear that, some people are saying it still works for them and some not.

did not work, after first reboot my pc whas back on 22h2

[@cwtek1]

Sounds like there is a problem with your system, others facing this problem have resolved the problem by updating their drivers and bios.

Thanks for this video. It worked on my used system with a processor that was not supported.

I have a 23H2 that is about a month old and it came with Win11 new. Not sure if it's the specs or not: Dell 3535 AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, 64gb RAM, 2tb SSD. My processor was probably available 7 months ago when your video is dated, although still very expensive (half the cost of the laptop). I did reload Windows because I tried too much to remove bloatware and it crashed, but it loaded back up from the flash drive just fine (It's own copy, not from the web). Best I know is my laptop was made about 2 months ago, so maybe there's something about it that is different from the version you have. Money should make no difference, but to put it in a category, it was $900. I have Win11 Home, but had the option of Pro. I chose the former because I don't network and it was $50 more. I used that $50 for another 1tb of space. 11 Pro does come with Bitlocker, but I don't care about that. From some tasks I've seen compared, 10 works slightly faster than 11. Even for an program like Photoshop, it loads as fast on both OSs. Most things cannot be determined as any different except for style between 10 and 11, except for another GB of space for 11. 11 did better on a few things, but not sure which, maybe connecting to the internet or something an eye-blink would miss. I do like the look of 11; I needed something to get used to after my favorite, XP years ago. I used Classic Shell for all of them (all versions of Windows after XP) except 11, because I loved the look of XP so much. I have both 10 & 11, and prefer 11. But, if I had a laptop that was not compatible (according to Microsoft), I'd be okay with 10, because that is exactly my case. One has 10 Pro; one has 11 Home. I like the simplicity of 11, but have no problem with 10. If I make major changes, like something Microsoft says not to, I ensure it's a unit I can afford to lose, yet make a backup USB from that unit (not the web). I know Microsoft can recommend anything they wish, and don't think I believe everything I hear. Since I have both, I have no incentive to change the Win10, I just use the other unit. The Win10 laptop s basically a backup or a travel unit. But, there isn't that much difference in performance to make any difference and some people are annoyed at the look of 11 (the Start menu), but I like it. It isn't "better", but as Spock would say, it is "interesting". Oh, and guess what? "AI" had nothing to do with what I just typed with my own hands! It would have no clue of my finding Mr. Spock, "fascinating". LOL! Some things will not change. Thanks for the video!

[@williamcattr267]

While this of overall some good information, it seems wise to not follow through with upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 on a PC that has hardware that is deemed incompatible. In my particular instance, my HP laptop has indicated that my Ryzen 5 2500u processor is not compatible with Windows 11.

[@cwtek1]

This should still work even if you’re processor is incompatible, however as the video warns running 11 on incompatible hardware could cause issues in the future.

My system reboots after initial reboot to the black screen Windows updates, my system BSODs to an error code: Failed in FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation Any suggestion on this error?

[@cwtek1]

I have not encountered this error before it might be an idea to google it.

[@A166-b7x]

@cwtek1 Your instructions are easy to follow. Seems like old migration user profiles are stopping the upgrade. More tidying up to do, then keep trying. It's an old AMD-8120 FX project PC so nothing critical. Great video instruction!

Thanks for your time to create this thorough video. Is there an exact way to find out what version of windows 10 the pc has? (IE. English US vs English International)

[@cwtek1]

Keep downloading and trying different versions until you find the right one.

[@CageyLeigh]

If you upgraded a non-supported PC to Windows 11, and Microsoft then put on an update that killed the PC, couldn’t you just reinstall Windows 10?

[@cwtek1]

Yes you could but you would need to backup your files to an external device reinstall Windows 10 from Scratch, then reapply your files and programs and also settings, as there is no downgrade path.

So why would anyone want to put windows 11 on there machine as microsoft havent been able to make a vertion of windows that actually works properly since windows xp home, never mind the updates and gigabytes of free space wasted then lost when doing it ???????? but the worst part is the updates , constantlly on windows ten every night my computer tries to download and update my machine even after ive tried every way to stopit updateing to the extent i just use my tablet online more than my computer

[@cwtek1]

If you have a SSD drive windows 10 and 11 are not bad, most things can be done on a tablet now but there are a few things you still need a PC for!

[@NattiNekoMaid]

Because windows 10 is going to die so being able to at least force devices to windows 11 may be needed for security in 2025
