How to Upgrade to the Latest Version of Windows 11 on ANY PC!

[@memstechtips]

For Windows 11 24H2, see this updated video! 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2TEiHp4oK1shpY IMPORTANT NOTES! If Rufus doesn't have the "Download" option, simply download the Windows 11 ISO file from Microsoft directly and then choose "Select" in Rufus and select the Windows 11 ISO file. If you don't know how to download the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWOchoiBbq6HqpY If you can't keep all of your files and apps during the upgrade, try this! Open CMD as Admin and run the following command: dism /online /get-intl Next, have a look at the "Default system UI language" and use that when downloading the ISO file.

So I have just tried this on a 10 year old laptop as proof of concept. It was originally Win8 but has been Win 10 for many years, but did not meet the stupid specs for Win11. My main desktop PC is more powerful but equally does not meet the official specs. It does everything I need so felt no need to upgrade beyond the impending withdrawal of support next year. Windows 11 now up and running on the laptop and all went exactly as per the video! So the desktop will follow!

[@jblink1150]

just to add that when checking the language locale, it was set at EN-GB which is not an option (why do Americans see the world as "America" and "not America"? 🙂) but I selected EN International and had no issues retaining all files and apps

[@memstechtips]

Thanks for your detailed comment, really appreciate it!

[@TerryB751]

How does this work if the laptop did not meet the specs for Win 11 ?

Got you beat. Used Rufus to install Win 11 on 17 yr old Dell Inspiron. What a great machine that was. Without programs loaded, it is amazing how fast win 11 boots on it.

[@BrumKid]

The way i do it is to down load window 11 and copy it to a usb drive then when i put the drive into a machine and then open Command prompt and make sure you run it as Adminstrator then this next bit depends on what your computer tells you the drive letter of the USB, just say its "E" . Now type in the command prompt "e:\setup.exe /product server" then hit enter, you will now install Windows 11 and you dont have to create a Windows account. Using what i have just shown you means you can use the USB drive over and over again.

[@memstechtips]

Thanks, I also know about this method and I have another video on my channel where I use it.

Excellent instructions! Even though my desktop is very advanced the Intel processor is an i7 not on the compatible list. I went ahead and set up the virtual USB drive and downloaded the iso files into the drive per your excellent instructions. I will wait though to install as I'm unclear if Microsoft could make this Windows 11 unworkable in the future. I'm being overly cautious since this desktop is critical to my needs and work.. I did have to download the Windows 11 iso file separately on Microsoft's download page. I kept getting an error message on Rufus saying I could not download as the file wasn't allowed in my country for some strange reason. USA here. Thank you again and I subscribed.

Does every PC that you wish to upgrade to Win 11 require a Win 11 product key? Does my pre-existing Win 10 product key suffice?

Windows 11 can be activated with a Windows 10 key. If your current Windows 10 is activated with a legal license and you follow this guide, Windows 11 should be activated automatically too.

Why do i need Rufus for 32-bit Windows when i can't install Windows 11 on a 32-bit computer? I never recommend to go from Windows 10 to 11 by doing an upgrade. If you have running Windows 10 for a couple of years it is time for a fresh install anyway, so it is better to wipe the drive and install a complete new fresh Windows 11. You can either use Rufus or Ventoy (both will make it possible to install on computers that won't support Windows 11).

[@memstechtips]

Because Windows 11 doesn't have a 32-bit version and can't be installed on 32-bit machines, I completely disregarded it during this video. I understand how it can be a bit click-baity, but hey, this is KZbin, that's how it works. I agree with you, clean install will always be better, but not everyone has to knowledge to do that, this guide is for them as well.

I got first boot errors and removed my boot manager then I got second boot errors and on the third try I allowed the install process 4:42 to Download updates, drivers and optional features and it worked.

Terrific. I have a couple of computers that are, supposedly, not suitable for upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. This video is a good tip on how to get around it. Thanks so much!

When Windows 10 expires, it's time to move to Linux. I am not happy with that idea,, but it's better than let some corporate POS take over your PC. Right now I have control of my Windows 10 install. I disabled a bunch of crap. So unless you can do the same to Win11, there is no reason to upgrade until Microsoft straightens up.

Tysm I have been struggling one KZbinr made me catch a virus but I had a feeling that you would help me Ty so much dude

[@illegalsmirf]

Don't put Windows 11 on anything

[@memstechtips]

I'm not saying you should do it, just showing how to do it. 😉

[@wesbtrm]

What about after support ends for W10 and software no longer updates shortly after that? May have to upgrade to W11 like it or not, even though I don't want to.

[@bend7726]

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

So I have WIN 10; however I have read that Microsoft with discontinue updates and I think support for WIN 10 in September 2025. I have run the system check to see if I can update to WIN 11 but Microsoft tells me my computer will not run WIN 11. Are you saying that I CAN install WIN 11 and will it run properly? My PC was built in 2019.

[@memstechtips]

Using this method, you can install Windows 11 yes.
