Chris, great video. Best Windows 11 upgrade video I've seen. Question: Are the Windows 10 files still on the PC on the C: drive and if so, is there a way to switch back to Windows 10? I ask because it is always possible that Microsoft could decide in the future to do a hardware check when installing a security patch and determine that Windows 11 is not supported on the machine and then your are stuck with an unsupported Windows 11.

[@cwtek1]

You can roll back within 10 days but that’s all. If you are concerned about this then please don’t upgrade, wait until you need to replace the machine.

I’ve been trying to find a way to upgrade to Win 11 on my nearly 10 year old laptop (model is 10+ years old) from Win 10 and this works like a charm without the need of any 3rd party software indeed. No need to do any registry work either. All it takes is just a few clicks of the mouse and few presses on the keyboard and boom there you have it after about a little over an hour. Honestly that system requirement check is just stupid. I feel that it’s a scam from MS to push people to upgrade to new machine. Hopefully MS won’t find this video and do something about it 😂 Thank you so much sir. Keep these videos coming! 😃

I would have never thought that a simple command switch would do this job; so much easier than editing the registry so thanks for sharing this tip. One thing from an environmental point of view is that for the work environments where you wisely advise not upgrading there can be better alternatives than buying a new PC for example: • Some systems like my HP Z240 support some Linux systems so if there are linux versions of software that the system uses that could save eWaste. • If another operating system is not an option but the production software does not require internet access then using a system like Linux and virtualising windows 10 and isolating the VM from the internet could work an keep things safe. I'm for keeping good hardware out of eWaste and this video will hopefully help get people onto Windows 11 and get longer out of their PCs Tank you!

[@winstonchin5500]

Hello, nice video, once upgraded to windows 11 do you know if it will continue to support all Microsoft updates via update manager? Thx

If your system is not supported then you will only get security updates whilst your version of windows 11 is supported, normally if you want to upgrade to the latest feature update then some manual intervention is usually required.

Great but one small quest - my laptop fully supports windows 11 but it was bought in a country which does not permit TPM in any form. A Dell G3 15 which ordinarily does support windows 11 - if I do this will it, given that all other parameters exist, be a stable upgrade - or can't you say?

The setup process literally just aborts and doesn't exist anymore in task manager. Would you have any idea what might be causing this?

So I used the media creation tool, chose the option of "best suited for this pc" and then created an ISO from there. Once I did this using the media creation tool, I was able to use your instructions with the CMD prompt interface and I got to the point of installation, and no error messages. I decided to try "keeping nothing", as I have a backup of this VM, and I wanted to see how a fresh install/upgrade would go. If it doesn't work out, I can try again and choose the keep files and settings option instead. Anyway, Windows 11 is now installing on my VM! Thank you for this video!

[@cwtek1]

I am glad that this installed for you and thank you for tell us how you overcome your initial problem.

[@evdieren]

thanks a lot. My perfectly well working laptop now runs W11. I discovered that it had TPM 1.2 but not activated. I activated it, and do not notice differences in performance. I suppose activating 1.2 is better than no TPM?

[@fmz3218]

This worked like a charm, liked and subbed 👍 I also saved / mount it on a USB flash drive ( you need to format the USB to NTSF not exfat due to the files is over 1GB files). Name the usb win11. Then I can tried and install it on other PC the way I don’t have to keep downloading it on other/that specific PC I want to install to. Once you plugged the USB (see what drive it is in) for me it is in D: drive just follow same steps on CMD prompt. D:\setup.exe /product server Press enter.

I heard that there is a lot of problems with windows 11 and this puts me in an uneasy mode. Can you tell me , is it worth it? When you say to delete the windows 11 folder after installation - can you explain if the wins10 is there, are all the wins 10 files upgraded to 11 or not sure-

[@cwtek1]

If you feel uneasy then don’t do it, I am not trying to persuade anyone to upgrade to something they are not sure about. The windows 11 folder you need to delete is just the files needed to upgrade to Windows 11 once you have upgraded these are no longer needed and are just taking up around 7gb of space.

[@abertzaleharroaii7449]

You have a windows.old folders in c: with all your files you have on your previous windows 10. No trouble at all, I have install windows 11 on my 2009 laptop with a modified iso, after a ram ans ssd upgrade, it's works really fine, all runs perfectly. My old laptop is more faster than the little newest lenovo of my son who's have windows 11 natively. I have to try this method on one of my other hdd or ssd I kept on backup just in case. But as I have seen in this video, you can run it without any reason to doubt. The only trouble I have, and my old laptop was on windows 10 previously since the release, on the latest version on older computer you can't make virtual machine because of the damn puce tpm and the newest security things. I look for a way but for now I don't find anything on this subject. I need virtual machine, I have to use my son laptop to make it. But my oldest laptop run like if was out of the box and it's good

My god amzing sir, by following your method can we Bypass TPM problem this happneing now in pc, will it work going to cmd and there commands

[@TheGuggo]

The only not compliant issue on my computer is the TPM 2.0. How critical that would be for future updates? Anyone has an idea? Thanks

[@cwtek1]

You will get security updates but not automatically get feature updates, to update to these usually manual intervention is required.

[@TheGuggo]

@@cwtek1 Thank you !

[@paulmoadibe9321]

as far as I know, for future feature updates, you'll have to redo a whole update of win11 like explained in this video.

[@aaron16374]

After checking for updates, and getting your pc ready it’s completes and just disappears and nothing starts and that’s that any info?

[@cwtek1]

Try restarting the computer, do not shutdown actually restart, and try again but this time do not select download updates.

This video did not mention a key aspect of installing Windows: the License Key. Then again, does the installation also activate Windows 11?

[@cwtek1]

If your windows 10 is already activated it will not ask for a key it will just use your existing windows 10 key and upgrade it to Windows 11 a Windows 11 Key.

Ever since Windows 11 was released I have been installing it without issue simply by creating a bootable USB drive and then renaming the appraiserres.dll file in the Sources folder and then running a clean install.

Yes that is another way, this just simplifies things.

Please try the method shown in the description of the video, I do have an updated video that I am trying to record today and hope to release later, please make sure you have subscribed to my channel to be notified when it comes out.

[@ronalcorn7039]

Can you update from older Windows 10, such as 1803 or 1909 directly to Windows 11 also?

[@cwtek1]

I believe you could but I think it would be best to try to get it up to 22h2 on Windows 10 for more of a chance of getting it over smoothly.

[@SanujeetaDash]

Hi Chris, On my laptop it is getting stuck at 37% for more than 1 hour. I tried it twice but it is showing the same. Please guide what to do? Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@mobileplayers5008]

Ur internet too slow

[@GavinColbourne]

7:17 wouldn't it be easier and quicker just to 'extract' the ISO image instead of mount, copy and paste? also at 7:51 there is clearly an option to the right 'Run as administrator' which would of been a simpler option.

[@cwtek1]

Yes it could be but some people may have iso software that may not have the option to extract the iso on their machine.

021024 I bought a Win11 home version last week and tried to install it on my MSI GX70 with Win8.1 bought in 2011. It passed inspection except for TPM and wouldn't go any further. I watched your video but when I got to @09:05 on your video it didn't go to updates, instead it wanted a key, fortunately I had one I just got and it worked! It even transferred all my files, so, thank you!

One item, setup initially kept getting hung on the Getting Updates portion and nothing would happen. On the Install Windows Server screen, click on “Change how Setup downloads updates.” Another screen will come up “Get updates, drivers and optional features” click on “Not right now” and click next. The setup will now continue all the way through without any hangups.

Thank you, much appreciated. I’ve installed on a late 2013 MacBook Pro that I used boot camp to partition and install windows 10 on.

@cwtek1 Does this make a version of WINDOWS 11 does does not allow you to automatically update? I've seen some comments here that make me wonder if windows will block updates after this? I'd rather not upgrade my wife PC from 10 if this will be a problem.

[@cwtek1]

As it stands at the moment if your PC is unsupported then you do get security updates but when the next feature update is released you will not automatically get offered it, you need to do some manual upgrade like this one in the video to get the newest version of Windows 11, as the video says Microsoft could release an update that could cause issues with unsupported machines.
