Upgrade to Windows 11 23H2 from Windows 11 22H2 or 21H2 on Unsupported Hardware

[@jensdbe]

In the meanwhile, Microsoft has released version 24H2 of Windows 11, which requires a bit of a different approach. You can find updated videos for 24H2 over here: - Upgrade from Windows 10 to the latest version of Windows 11: 24H2 on unsupported hardware: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4i5YnppfqmFg8k - Upgrade from Windows 11 23H2, 22H2 and earlier to the latest version of Windows 11: 24H2 on unsupported hardware: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3SZZmqmfqmshcU - Perform a fresh installation of Windows 11 24H2 on unsupported hardware: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXywc2qNiKqVg68

Just upgraded from Win 11 21H2 to 23H2. Your directions were flawless! You da man!!!

[@jensdbe]

Glad to see it is useful. Thanks for the nice feedback.

[@Valer_100]

I installed the Windows 11 23H2 enablement update from the link you gave in the description and it worked. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@jensdbe]

Great to see and thanks for the update.

​@@jensdbeI did the same but now my machine is blue screening again and again pls help 😭😭😭😭

[@henkka4138]

Thank you for the easy instructions! I updated from 21H2 to 23H2 on unsupported hardware without problems.

[@NayabHKhan]

Thank you for posting this straightforward guide. I am running unsupported hardware. I was able to use the registry fix to upgrade from Win10 to Win11 but I was stuck at 21H2. I was expecting to have to use one of your options but just downloading the ISO and running setup on it's own worked for me. No other intervention was required. Hope this helps anyone else that is in the same situation.

[@filipengelhart1772]

Thanks man, I was trying to update my win 11 21H2 to 23H2 for whole month in work, but only your tutorial was the right one, thank u again

[@subramanis2059]

Beautifully explained in simple steps. I installed 23H2 on my unsupported laptop from 21H2 TO 23H2.Thanks.

[@simonriley6832]

Thank you for such a straightforward workaround found nowhere else in the realm of KZbin or the world wide web except on your channel... Thank you

[@imrekorondi9919]

Vielen Dank für diese detaillierte Beschreibung für den upgrade auf 23H2. So kann ich den Kauf für ein neues Notebook hinauszögern! Mal schauen nächstes Jahr im Juni wenn Win12 im anmarsch sein wird.🤓

[@josiahsantiago6494]

Awesome mate!! Your process was a lot straight forward than most I have seen since windows 11 was released. I am now a subscriber. Cheers

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

Thank you, your video was easier to understand than others I saw. It worked perfectly for me, the best part is that you showed how to check what English version I had, so it was a smooth process, thanks again.

[@jean-pierrelemaitre1821]

Just upgraded from Win 11 22H2 to 23H2. My X1Carbon 3rd Gen came originally with Win7 then upgraded to Win 8.1 then Win 10 then 11 22H2... Your directions were flawless! Keep up the great job...🙂

[@slovozarchivu]

Bylo to neuvěřitelně jednoduché. Žádné stahování Iso. Díky Karel

I used option 2 The first time an error occurred and Windows was rolled back to the previous version. Then I disconnected the external drive connected to USB and disconnected the Bluetooth dongle. I started the update again and after 20 minutes Windows successfully updated to version 23H2. Thank you very much for the tutorial, good job. 😀👍

[@TheStealer]

I recently bought a refurbished pc with Win 11 21H2 and wondered why it was not updating, turns out it has an unsupported cpu, however following your instructions I now have an up to date Win11 23H2 pc. Many thanks.

[@Ejrivera71]

Thank you! The ISO option works perfectly. I just updated from Win 11 21h2 to 23h2 without any problem.

[@patrickburns4658]

I just updated another 11 year old HP laptop to Windows 11 last night following your video after it was returned to me from my daughter after 2 years in her cupboard. I had tried the other day but it got stuck at 46% so I ended up doing a Windows 10 rest first. I've also updated my 13 year old HP laptop from 22H2 to 23H2 and in process of doing same with my Acer desktop. Your video was vert simple to follow and good to see no registry tweaking required, just editing a file. Thanks again.

[@jensdbe]

Good to hear this helped :)

[@Vinceeeey]

Thank you so much!!! the enabler option work for me. It took me less than 3 minutes following your tutorial. Thank you so much!

This video is great!, option 2 worked for me. Very well explained and I'm now on the latest 23H2. Thank you for this, subscribed.

[@paulwarner5395]

Worked great. Just did it . Now for your "simple" method of upgrading to Windows 12 🙂

I've been messing around trying to download 23H2 for a few weeks, trying different methods that are a lot more complicated than this but didn't work. I will try this option 2... if it works, which it appears to do, I want to thank you in advance! 🤗

I have a fully supported system on 22H2 but wasn't seeing the 23H2 upgrade. I didn't have KB5031455 but I did have KB5032190. After installing the Enablement Update and restarting it successfully showed 23H2 in System > About and winver. Thank you! 😊

[@waputik57]

Same here - no 1455 update but had 2190. All 23H2 new features seemed to be working, although version still shown as 22H2, so installed 7397 enablement (sic) package and now showing 23H2 in System > About. PC (E-350) isn't used much, so must have missed 1455 before it was superseded by 2190. Excellent video and instructions.

[@SpraynPrayn]

Many thanks worked great Very easy - 21H2 to 23H2 Unsupported Hardware. SUB ADDED

Hello! Thanks for video! My computer supports Windows 11, but not sure why it did not update 23H2 automatically, it should. I don't want to reinstall all windows 11 because to this, but maybe I should have. :( Update: I did get 23H2 with manually getting missing files for 23H2 and many restarts. Thanks for videos like this! :)

When downloading the ISO from the Microsoft website choose the language you're currently using otherwise you won't get the option to retain your apps and files upon installation (upgrading). I just found that out. On my laptop it said the en-US language was the base language but the used language is NL, then when using the downloaded en-US ISO I didn't get the option to save apps and files. Only when I reran the procedure using the US International ISO everything went as shown in this video.

[@MadisonHat]

I am running an i5 6500 on a Dell Optiplex 7040 MT (bare bones) build, unsupported of course. Did this last spring and installed Windows 10 22H2 . Upgraded to Windows 11 22H2 after a couple of weeks using the RUFUS bypass. And today, followed your ISO File option, yet no unsupported window popped up and it just started downloading 23H2. Also, I read somewhere that KB5031455 is now the fully upgraded enablement package update, which I apparently already had. Anyhow, not complaining for sure, but I wonder why the upgrade worked so easy. It the RUFUS bypass permanent? Very informative videos. Be blessed.

[@vadimandronik5654]

Thank you very much!

[@lupoalberto8384]

Great Job ! my Dual Core working again

[@DrShakyLens]

The upgrade worked like a dream- in my case from w11 21h2 to 23h2. However despite giving it instructions to the contrary, files that were stored on my internal hard drive were deleted during the upgrade.

[@sthecommenter76]

Just did it qs you explained. And thankfully it's working fine . Even though i already had every feature of 23h2 while using the 22h2 but still i can't find the copilot feature 😢. But thanks nicely done.

Copilot is not available worldwide yet.

[@aprintojoss8079]

I want to know what are the differences between 21H2 and 23H2 ? I am still use 21H2 on 7rd intel CPU. In my opinion, if rhere are no problems in this computer at this time, why we should update version ? I wonder if I update to new version, the problems will arise.

[@rusmatreshka8065]

Thank you man! you save me :)

i followed the tutorial but the update thing is not shown in windows update. Also, when running the setup exe on the modified iso, it does not do anything but quickly open and close a cmd window

I'm seeing the same thing. Cmd window opens and closes very quickly. One time it was a little slower and it seemed to say something about unsupported hardware. HELP!?!?

good tutorial , but iam unable to see the copilot and the paint co creator option.

Copilot is not available everywhere (geographically) yet unfortunately. Not sure about paint but I believe that this is still in preview.

[@vladdraculLV]

I can't update from 21H2 to 23H2 no matter what I've tried several tutorials, but it always gives a blue screen when it starts preparing Windows to boot for the first time. I found out that this happens because the computer I'm trying to install 23H2 on has a mechanical hard drive, and one of the requirements for 23H2 is specifically an SSD, not a mechanical hard drive I don't see anyone talking about this, so could you tell me if this is true? The 21H2 installs normally without any issues, and from what I've seen, it seems that the 22H2 does too Only the 23H2 has this requirement

[@wesiniraq]

Well done although I had to rely on a support forum that said kb5031455 is optional and if it doesn't work then go to a specific place on the settings/update/[I think it was advanced] and delete that kb from the to-do list. That was between the first big download/install and the one that disables the hardware check. Finally, after many hours (several working days worth) of search and try and many "install - oh wait didn't work, reboot to remove" efforts which takes almost 2 hours at times and 3 reboots - I am up to 23H2. I have a socket 2011 with 64 GB of RAM so I have no pressing need to get a new system. I do SW development and that amount of RAM is plenty, but Microsoft's decision a couple of years ago was questionable (they should have announced it would happen 3-4 years in advance). I tried a TPM or two I got from Amazon but none worked with my MSI motherboard - if it had I wouldn't have had to read your posting, but I'm glad you did post it.😀

[@Charkatak]

I haven't upgraded from Win 10 but thinking about it. I would be upgrading on my HP workstation which has all the needed hardware except CPU. On Microsoft page there is a workaround for installing Win 11 by adding a registry key, will that work for an upgrade that you are demonstrating here?

[@GeisterFahrer2]

Doesnt work for me. When I try to run the setup after clearing the file, I get two errors: 0x0800700c1 0x40003

[@OldSter954]

This doesn't work for my computer (21H2),at first it seems to be able to upgrade but at the last computer restart it undos changes and reverts back to 21H2,with error code 0x8007000D-0x2000C.

[@paulwarner5395]

Hi there, Thanx for the video I have used this method in other upgrades but I just tried to upgrade a PC from 23h2 to 24h2 with this method but it fails saying no TPM 2 and CPU not supported. I suspect that Micro$loth have changed things to prevent this method. of upgrading. Hoping you may be able to find a work round.

I will be looking into a workaround for 24H2 in the next days. Stay tuned :)
