I just installed 24H2 on a old laptop with Rufus and it worked flawlessly. Great product. Great video, learned some things I did not know yet. Thanks!

[@john_in_phoenix]

Adding the deletion of the partitions really helps. Even I need to look it up, and I've used PCs since 1981. So many operating systems.

[@kalvikaring1304]

second option is mount windows iso and on cmd run as administrator. navigate to windows installation folder and type in "setup.exe /product server". and hope all goes well

[@gtech66]

Back up your data, bookmarks, etc, and always do a clean install when upgrading Windows. It's better in the long run.

[@ClickNextDemos]

I totally agree but it also depends on how technical the user is. They may need to identify, download and install drivers for their system.

[@StealthParrot]

I agree. In-place upgrades seem convenient but clean installs always give you a fresh max performance install.

[@gtech66]

There is a free portable app called Double Driver that will backup all your drivers quickly.

[@gtech66]

Some new intel laptops do require a special driver to be installed for Windows to find the local drive. I have no idea why they make it so difficult.

[@Vulver]

It is not always the best way. The time you spent on installing everything, including software could be a lot. Unless there are some issues with your system, you have too much trash data, I don't see a reason to install fresh copy. If it works, then it works. If you are technical person and can install fresh copy, then install all drivers, all software you use then you should also be able to track down issues and fix them. I once in a while, when I feel I already might have too much trash on my PC, I do fresh install but I do it only in case my SSD's get full of unknown data and its usage size doesn't make sense. That means some software left a lot of files spread over different locations and tracking down all of that will take more time than installing a fresh copy. Of course, this is just my way of doing things.

[@davidspencer5668]

Absolutely fantastic, very clear, very much straight to the point and clear audio and video, a BIG thank you

[@wilsonj4705]

A new requirement in 24H2 is that the CPU must support SSE4.2 or it won't even boot and you may not even be able to start the install as it may not even boot to the installation program. I tested this for myself on two PCs that don't support SSE4.2 but run 23H2 just fine and both wouldn't even boot the installer. If your CPU doesn't support SSE4.2 Rufus can't bypass that requirement at least for the time being.

[@1976oswald]

thx

[@dafyddthomas7299]

Thanks for info ; silly Q how do you check that CPU has SSE4.2 or later support ? - sorry for the villager Q

[@dafyddthomas7299]

Ratzens - found the Answer; Download Excellent CPU-Z,,,, Open CPU-Z and go to the CPU tab. Look for the "Instructions" section, where you will see a list of supported instruction sets. If "SSE4.2" is listed, your CPU supports it.

[@wilsonj4705]

@@dafyddthomas7299 Google your CPU and either wiki or one of the tech sites that pop up will list the CPU's supported instruction set set but as a rule any Intel CPU introduced after late 2008 to early 2009 and AMDs after late 2011 should support it.

[@itstheweirdguy]

You left out the part where you press ALT+E in rufus to switch between legacy and dual uefi/legacy mode. It will create a Windows 11 installer that will boot in UEFI OR legacy mode! ALSO, if you use rufus beta 4.6, the new workaround for the interactive installation from Windows 11 installation assistant or ISO upgrade install are applied automatically.

[@ClickNextDemos]

Great tip. I should have definitely used that in the demo.

[@christopheoberrauch784]

Great Video. I would also point out that Rufus 4.5 is sufficient for Windows 11 24H2. You do not have to use the beta version 4.6. I would not use the option “Create local account with username” ... in Rufus. Without this option, the USB stick can be used for completely different PCs or people. The additional question about the user name during installation is not really a problem.

[@ford1546]

@@christopheoberrauch784 You MUST use (rufus 4.6 beta) otherwise it won't work! I have tried both 4.5 and 4.6 beta with 24H2 I Run (setup.exe) in win 11 (update). Rufus 4.5 was made long before 24H2 came out and is not compatible with 24H2 !!!! I have tried rufus 4.6 beta with 24H2 on unsupported hardware and it worked fine. Remember that rufus must be made specifically for the things it will be used for. The way things and tricks are done is a little different in 24H2 than it was in 23h2! I download iso in the language I have installed on my computer, otherwise you cannot keep settings.

This is such a good tutorial. I _was_ going to wait until W10 was no longer supported, as it runs just great for me at the mo.

[@boirfanman]

Microsoft would never block needed updates for Windows systems so don't worry about that. I installed 24H2 recently with Rufus because my last version (21H2 or something) installed with Rufus, went End of Life so didn't update to new versions. All other updates were fine. So be aware that "Feature Updates" may not happen this way. It is preferable this way for a lot of us, though. It saves all the "New changes for changes sake" headaches.

Thought it was going to fail at the _'checking for updates'_ stage where it seemed to be stuck on 46% for a good 5-6mins or more, but eventually it continued & completed successfully. On the first boot into Win11 I had an error - "AsIO.sys" has been blocked (or something like that). Bit of digging saw it was common Win11 error related to my Asus motherboard's utility. Found out it just needs that file deleting and it all seems fine after a few hours trying it out. Many thanks - top man 👍

You can bypass and use local account without Rufus. I had to recently because on a brand new PC I built there was no Wi-Fi driver to connect to my Microsoft account. I had to install windows without internet then put a Wi-Fi driver on the usb drive and copy it over to the new machine fully complete. There are instructions on KZbin. But this seems to be a great easy way to bypass. I also have a PC that did not meet the cpu requirements for upgrade and followed some other instructions to bypass the checks. But this would have been easier.

[@Ravix0fFourHorn]

Windows Pro gives you the "domain" option if you click on the "sign in options", it may be called differently in other languages but if you choose it, it allows you to create a local account.

rufus should add a warning when tpm check bypass is enabled. My computer has tpm support and I didn't know it. After installing it, I discovered that my computer was not working properly, core-related settings were missing, and riot games were unplayable. What's worth mentioning here is that I can't fix it without having to install another version of Windows that doesn't have the option to turn off tpm check. Rufus should have instructions to re-enable tpm checking on the device

[@SirChristoferus]

If the good/bad/good/bad release cycle that started with XP continues, perhaps Windows 12 will be a response to Windows 11’s dwindling market share.

[@jonmobrien]

Perhaps Microsoft will have reasonable minimum memory requirements. People using Rufus to install W11 onto older CPUs or computers with less than 4GB RAM expect and understand Windows to perform poorly. People buying brand new computers in 2024 from cheap shops not knowing what is really needed getting Celeron CPU and 4GB RAM and figuring it's a new computer, it should run, but new out the box Windows 11 uses 8GB of RAM and needs 16GB of RAM to have any free RAM after booting to load a browser, word editor, email client. But you can still buy new computers with 4GB of RAM that is permanently pagefile swapping with a Celeron or Pentium CPU, burning out the SSD (probably a SATA drive). Then Windows 11 wouldn't feel so so so crap. Perhaps. But they definitely won't. Anyway, I'm going to get a SATA SSD to replace a HDD on a Dell AIO APS 2730 i5-3xxx 3rd Gen 8GB. Try a W11 24H2 clean install. Dell does NOT even support Windows 10 on it, no W10 drivers released. But it's been running W10 on a HDD since W10 came out. Just got a new Dell AIO Inspiron Core 5 (not i5) 16GB with W11 24H2 (auto updated during OOBE I believe). So the 3rd gen if it clean-installs without bricking the motherboard (which is a known possibility with W10 hence why it's not supported) will be a good backup, second computer.

[@jonmobrien]

In summary: Rufus v4.6 clean-installing W11 24H2 is still a breeze.

I use Rufus on hardware that supports Win11 to kill the online account. Of course I bypass the TPM as well and all that cause Windows once installed will recognize those assets anyway.

[@tonya.2645]

I had hope for the method in this video to install Win11_24H2_English_x64.iso on top of a 22H2 at which my laptop is stuck. Rufus 4.6.2208 is skipping over the "Customize windows installation" screen. That screen does not come up at all and Rufus just copies all the files from the ISO to the USB Stick. initially regular setup was complaining about TPM2.0 and Secureboot . I tried the setup /product server as suggested by other posts after which I started getting "Setup has failed to validate the product key" no matter which workaround I try. This is on a valid windows 11 Pro license that's activated with a digital license, upgraded from a Windows10 bypassing Win11 requirements with regedit entries.

[@ClickNextDemos]

There is another method. Download Windows 10 media from www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 Download Windows 11 media from www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11 Copy install.wim from the Windows 11 media to the Windows 10 media (overwriting the Windows 10 install.wim. Then use the Windows 10 media (which now contains the Windows 11 install.wim) Windows 11 should then install as Windows 10 does not not check for the minimum hardware requirements like Windows 10 does.

[@julianjenneke8925]

Hi , your explanation is very clear and easy to follow. Although I seem to get this message when trying to download the iso "Validating your request. This may take several minutes. Do not refresh the page or select back, doing so will cancel the request." how do I get that resolved? thanks

[@ClickNextDemos]

In early 2023, Microsoft have stepped up the anti-abuse protection of their ISO download servers and are a lot more proactive (read: aggressive) at banning IP addresses that they consider to be either putting excessive stress on their servers, or that come from a specific region that they want to filter out. If you aren't trying to download an ISO from a download restricted country, this error usually occurs if you (or someone behind the same external IP as the one you use) downloaded a few too many ISOs in rapid succession, and Microsoft have banned that IP as a result. If that is the case, this should be a temporary ban that expires after something like 24 hours, so you should either wait a day or two or, if possible, get a new IP address. But, again, because it is Microsoft-controlled and IP based, there is nothing Rufus can do about it and, as a matter of fact, if you try to download an ISO from www.microsoft.com/en-US/software-download, you should find that you get the same error. Alternatively, you can download the ISO from within the Rufus Application. In Rufus, on the box that says "Select" where you select the ISO, you can click the drop down arrow and change it to Download.

[@santoshk1983]

Your cpu (core 2 duo) is simply too old & unsupported for 24h2. Nothing & no one can help you bypass that. Windows 11 24h2 is compiled with instructions that need SSE4.2 which your cpu doesn't have, so it won't run. Windows 11 23h2 will be the last version of Windows you'll be able to use on your computer unless you upgrade your cpu, which will also mean you need a new motherboard and Ddr3 or 4 ram etc, so it's not worth it to spend that much money just for a slightly newer windows version. Especially for old hardware like yours 24h2 contains nothing useful over 23h2. Continue running 23h2. When it reaches end of support by next year end, you can switch to Linux if still don't want to buy new hardware.

[@seanvogel8067]

The latest beta version of Rufus may work.

[@ClickNextDemos]

If you are doing the install.wim trick, you need to do it the other way round. You need to copy your 24H2 install.wim onto a 23H2 install media (overwriting the 23H2 install.wim). Then use the 23H2 install media (which has the 24H2 install.wim). That should work. Even though you are using 23H2 media, it will install the 24H2 version because you are using the 24H2 wim file.

Yes, unsupported hardware will receive the same updates as a supported PC with the exception of major OS updates, like going from 22H2 to 23H2 or 23H2 to 24H2. If the hardware doesn't meet the requirements, then they will never be offered the upgrade, which makes sense.

You MUST use (rufus 4.6 beta) otherwise it won't work! I have tried both 4.5 and 4.6 beta with 24H2 I Run (setup.exe) in win 11 (update). Rufus 4.5 was made long before 24H2 came out and is not compatible with 24H2 !!!! I have tried rufus 4.6 beta with 24H2 on unsupported hardware and it worked fine. Remember that rufus must be made specifically for the things it will be used for. The way things and tricks are done is a little different in 24H2 than it was in 23h2!

Interesting. I did use 4.5 in the video, and it worked fine for 24H2 both for a clean install and also an In-Place upgrade.

@@ClickNextDemos Strange that I didn't get it to work with rufus 4.5. I got a message that the hardware was not supported when I tried to install update to 24H2? Rufus 4.6 beta worked well for me.

How to activate windows 11

[@ClickNextDemos]

If your PC was activated with Windows 10 or Windows 11 previously, as long as you installed the same "edition" eg. Home or Pro, then it should automatically activate.

Hi, can you make Rufus 4.5 available to me on Google Drive? Because I want to install Windows 11 and I don't like this new installer.

Can this method be used to install Windows 11 on a Synology DS920+ NAS, with the standard 4gb RAM? Can you please show how to do this?

[@ClickNextDemos]

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't have one of those to try it on. Does anyone know the answer to this?

[@Hobbit247]

Ya so sorry but Rufus doesn't work anymore.....Tried 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 versions and none would do any bypass anything for 24H2 install....using 24H2 iso. All versions took me right to the sign in screen no matter what....even after I disabled wifi and everything
