People seem to always say this, but I absolutely mean it. This is the BEST and most understandable, easy to follow win 10 to win 11 on unsupported PC I have seen in 5 days of searching and watching. I am not a PC wiz. Thank you so very much!

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching.

Just updated my Hp with intel i5 …….worked perfectly. Thank you so very much!

[@RayKnowsTech]

Glad it worked! thank you for watching

[@mototakahe836]

Thank you for a clear how to Windows 11. I will try this . However, as an amateur what size flash drive is required and how do I know what kind of English is used on the original install? Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed.

[@RayKnowsTech]

@mototakahe836 Hi, you can find your language settings by going to Start > Settings > Time & language > Language & region. The flash drive only needs to be 8 gigs if you already have one. You likely want find one that small if you need to purchase. I have an amazon affiliate link here amzn.to/4es9q0y for one. Thank you for watching!

I own pc with i7-4770K CPU, 32GB DDR3, with no TPM 2.0, updated it 2 years ago to Windows 11 Pro and now running Windows 11 Pro v. 24H2 26100.2161and still running fine with no TPM 2.0. I used the Rufus method v 4.6 to Windows 11 24H2.

Hey John. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks you for watching!

Thanks for the easy helpful information.

Sounds well, but what about the SSE 4.2 restriction? can this method bypassing that?

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hi, thats not something that can be bypassed as processors manufactured before 2008 dont contain the SSE 4.2 instructions. Thats what I was referring to in the video when I specifically called out CORE 2 Duo and Athlon 64 processors not being compatible. Thanks for watching!

[@PitfallHarry72]

A great option for people who choose to upgrade rather than cleanly install. I always do the latter, but that the option is there is nice. Having said this, I only tried it on one device that wasn't supported, and it didn't work well, so I went back to W10. It kept freezing, and at different times. Sometimes during startup, sometimes while already booted into Windows. I already have other PCs with Windows 11, so it was just something I tried due to boredom. Though they've basically threatened it from the beginning, and most likely to get people to buy new or upgrade their own PCs, I can't actually see Microsoft cutting off updates for Windows 11 on unsupported devices. It would tick a LOT of W11 users off, and I don't think they'll choose to risk the backlash it may cause.

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hey! Its not so much they will cut them off its that they warn they may not work with your unsupported device. Its a chance you take. Thanks for the feedback!

Have you tried FLYby11 software to install Windows11?

[@RayKnowsTech]

I have not! I will check that out. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@perryrob]

Do you need to input a windows 11 license key or does it auto use the one from my windows 10? If i do a fresh install do i input the windows 10 key or do i have to buy a windows 11 key?

[@RayKnowsTech]

If you have a valid Windows 10 key, it will automatically be used. Thanks for watching!

[@perryrob]

@RayKnowsTech it did the setup updates and rebooted but when I checked in settings about still says windows 10 home

I own a Dell Optiplex 780 PC with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 3.00GHz, 6GB DDR3 ram, 1GB radeon hd 5450 graphics, no TPM 2.0, and I updated it 1 year ago to Windows 11 Pro v. 23h2, can I install Windows 11 Pro v. 24h2 on it?

[@RayKnowsTech]

If it Runs 23H2 theres no reason why it would not run 24H2. However I can not swear to that. Your Processor must be supporting SSE 4.2 for it to be running 11 at all so yours does. Test it out and let me know! Thanks for watching

[@Ismail_Imran1996]

@@RayKnowsTech I installed Windows 11 24h2 by burning the copy to a flash memory with Rufus to bypass the installation requirements, but when Windows starts installing and reaches 100%, it restarts to complete the operation, but what happens after the restart is that Windows stops at the logo and does not complete The opening process at all but he restart and repeat tried to open Windows stops at the logo

sir I installled my dell lap ( coree i3 4gb ram 2.30 ghz). 12yrs old .Win 7 working smooth . After upgrading to win 11 24h2 system loading very slow . Any option to speedup.

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hi, Its likely the 4 gigs of RAM. My only suggestion would be to increase that to at least 8. Thank you

[@RayKnowsTech]

@@sreekumar2354 sounds like you need to go back to Windows 7 unfortunately. This video was instructions for upgrading from 10 to 11. I havent tested going from 7 to 11. I know that it has been done. Your screen sounds like an incompatible video driver.

[@sreekumar2354]

@@RayKnowsTech Thanks. I am using win 11 23h2 before upgrading to 24h2. That's also very slow .

I am doing everything but when the Accept message should appear it shows me that "we cannot understand if your pc meets the minimum requirements". The only requirement that I don't have is TPM2

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hi, are you referring to 12:55 in the video?

[@mpampisapostolakis4833]

​@@RayKnowsTechyes, i have searched a lot but i cannot find a solution. Clean install is not an option for me unfortunately. I can only upgrade. Thanks for the reply!

it did the setup, updates installed and rebooted but when I checked in settings / about still says windows 10 home

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hi, I have not heard this before. I would need more information as far as the steps you took and your specific system. Thanks for watching

[@johnrgehring1975]

Ive ran all the tests Ive tried several ways it passses gets to 100% then reverts to 23H2

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hi, are you sure you are using the same setup language from the original install? Your particular situation might require a clean install vs. upgrade. Really hard to tell without more details. If I see a comment with a similar issue I will update you. Thank you

If there are no updates for windows 11 that whats wrong with windows 10

[@RayKnowsTech]

Hi, There are updates for windows 10 for another year. There are also updates for windows 11. The message was, if you install Windows 11 on an unsupported device some updates may not work for you. I had no issue with the updates. Thanks!

[@josenegron7904]

You should have gone over the actual creation of the Windows 11 USB Media; instead you simply say that you have previously created the media.

[@RayKnowsTech]

The creation of the USB media is done with Rufus, which I show in detail. I show the process of downloading the Windows 11 ISO, which I then state I already downloaded since that takes about 30 minutes to download. I did not skip a step. Thanks

[@laurentitolledo1838]

Too late.....already on Linux why? I don't recall....

[@RayKnowsTech]

Maybe next time. Thank you for watching!

[@gsoroxascity5251]

Using Rufus to install Windows 11 is not new anymore. Most people are doing this since the launch of Windows 11

[@RayKnowsTech]

Whats new are the updates to Rufus after the 24H2 release making it the easiest yet. I stated in the video these work arounds have been in place since the release of Windows 11. Thank you for your comment
