[@Dibbo69]

To anyone who sees the keep files settings option is not selectable it is purely because of the installed language if you get this far. I am in Australia and checked my installed language which was EN AU. I tried to upgrade using the server method USING THE US ISO which wouldn't let me select keep evrrything. IF YOU ARE USING ENGLISH ON YOUR PC AND YOUR LANGUAGE DOESN'T SAY ENGLISH US YOU NEED TO USE ENGLISH INTERNATIONAL. This worked seamlessly for me. Many thanks Rich 👍

[@vk7hch]

This one needs to be emphasized. I had the same problem. Same fix, thanks.

[@Roadrunner8119]

Can you explain the process you did pls m8, im from the uk and ive tried everything to get it to click on the save files, settings ands app, i tried understanding how you did it but cant seem to figure it out lol, any help would be gratefully apprechated

use the media creation tool. it automatically detects the right version for you.

Same here didn't work. I'm in Australia and this language setting didn't work

[@Roadrunner8119]

[@Win52D]

I created a USB drive using the steps in this video when it first came out. It worked perfectly for two of my systems. It's been a over a month since then and I decided to upgrade my last system. It failed saying the system is non-compliant. This happened after the PC checked for updates. I disabled the WiFi adapter and clicked Update Later. Restarted the installer and it is installing just fine...keep this in mind as you go forward if you don't want to keep creating new install disks. Great job on these videos!!

Virtual adult beverage for you! I just installed 2024 H2 11 Pro as an upgrade of my Win 10 machine. I used the server installer as you suggest as the second option in the video and it worked flawlessly for me. So as of 12/13/24 the server installer worked fine and I have no watermark for unsupported version. This also the day after the Microsoft update to "allow" install on unsupported machines so may be related to that as well. It was nice not to be prompted to sign in, which I've never done.

This worked flawlessly on my upsupported PC with WIN 11 23H2. It's unsupported simply because it has a 6th generation i7-6900K cpu.

AMD FX-6300. Just looked it up on CPU World. Still SSE 4.2 app & OS compliant! Unlike last gen Core 2's like the Q9650, which thanks to it only supporting SSE 4.1, is now officially retro, so far as the SSE 4.2 minimum requirement being pushed by more and more software vendors is concerned, as they update their compilers to be Windows 11 24H2 compliant.

[@xxTexas_outlaw71xxttv]

iam not gonna upgrade to 24H2 i dont like anyone or microcrap spying on me.

[@KnivesTV]

Windows 11 24H2 relies on the SSE4.2 (Intel) and SSE4a (AMD) instruction sets on a CPU as a bare-minimum requirement, otherwise it will not install no matter what you do. The AMD FX-6300 supports SSE4a I see, which means Windows 11 24H2 will install with the Rufus bypasses. Try installing Windows 11 24H2 on something like an Intel Core 2 instead, which does not have the SSE4.2 instruction set on the CPU and see how that goes. Then you can say "this computer is as unsupported in every way possible" in your video. Good luck!

[@JendaLinda]

Every version of Windows had some requirements on CPU instruction stes that couldn't be worked around.

[@rebokfleetfoot]

agree, it's about the processor and it's instruction set... i just wonder, what do they intend to do with those instructions?

[@FurryNutz740iL]

Ya I saw a different video talking about instruction set requirements for 24H2. I happen to have an older pc that doesn't have this set, and even with current mods from Rufus and Rufus sw, 24h2 wouldn't install, though 23h2 is already on this older pc. So content creators should specify this in their videos as 24h2 doesn't really install on ANY pc. @cyberCPU Tech

[@colt5189]

My computer should be good to go as it's running one of the early i7 CPUs, which I've read supports SSE4.2 instruction set.

[@FurryNutz740iL]

@KnivesTV The easiest way to check cpu instruction set is to install cpuid free online on the targeted pc and check for SSE4.2. If seen, you're good to install 24h2. As I found out, one of my older PCs did not have this requirement.

[@paulvitan1204]

Upgrade by command prompt works for me,like a charm,using server installer build in windows kit installation.Good work. Thank you!

So after updating my PC to 24h2 and then some other updates from MS I have found that some things do not work as well and it is a little sluggish to respond to some programs. But all in all I am happy that I upgraded. Now it will take me some time to test all of my programs to see which ones 24h2 does not like and others that will no longer work. Hope to see more informative videos that you are so good at doing. Thanks for passing on your knowledge and expertise.

[@mrgeebee1622]

Rufus 4.6 Beta has support for Windows 11 24H2. Both Clean Install and Upgrade. Also there are GPT/UEFI Computers that still are unsupported by Win 11, so if you have that of course use GPT/UEFI and NOT MBR. Might be obvious, but just to clarify.

[@jayq2]

I had to scroll down to find out if someone could answer this exact issue. I have a PC that is UEFI but not supported. X99 chip (not supported) and a TPM chip slot on the MB but no chip created for it. I was scared to go past the Rufus create step because I would be hurting myself by going the MBR route with my large cap hard drives. Can’t thank you enough for confirming.

[@davidgatward4395]

[@MarcoYolo420]

True, just mount the 24H2 iso, start cmd, and do the setup /product server thing. No Rufus, nothing. I was installing win11 over 10 while watching this unessesary long video, just because i was bored.

The 24H2 update runs exceptionally well on my X58 Xeon systems, definitely outperforming the 23H2 on unsupported hardware. I'm experiencing significant FPS improvements in games like Fortnite, Halo Infinite, Doom Eternal, and Forza Horizon 5, even with an RTX 2070 Super and fairly high graphics settings, and I'm also utilizing core isolation.

Great video, very clearly presented, well explained and very helpful, thanks! I just wish I had found this channel before investing in a new build. The simple method worked on my old desktop, which has an unsupported chip and inactivated tpm 1, the results, it seems snappier on Windows 11 than on Windows 10. All that money wasted on a new build! However, I did enjoy building it. I also tried it on my laptop with an unsupported chip, again works a treat. As an experiment I tried it on my very old laptop circa 2012 and again works great. Just as a warning for other people if you select the wrong language when downloading the ISO (International English or US English in my case) you won’t get the option to keep your files etc. For some reason my desktop was on International and one of my laptops on US. Thanks again.

Just finished upgrading an old HP laptop to Win 11. I took the 24H2 iso, ran it through Rufus, and it worked without going through the modification of the 23H2 iso. A couple of steps less with the same result. Only thing I'd add is that there is a disclaimer from Microsoft that pops up, reminding you that the hardware is unsupported. and Microsoft declaring absolutely under no circumstances do they have any liability. Once you click that you accept this, the rest is easy.

[@MindCaged]

I see these comments on pretty much literally every windows 11 problem video. You have a point that we shouldn't have to jump through hoops like this and bypass BS requirements that obviously are nowhere near as mandatory as they'd like to claim. And I can honestly say that Linux will work for a good chunk of users, especially if they don't want to poke around in the OS's internals and just need something to run their browser, office software, or most games with not an unbearable amount of hassle in most cases. However I have tried several Linux distros and well, so far it's just not for me. If I /had/ to use it, I could for basic stuff, but I get very frustrated going from high-level Windows expert to low-level Linux noob. I keep poking around and breaking things that I have no idea how to fix other than to reinstall or if I actually remember to do a timeshift backup. While I have enough experience on windows and the system is different enough that either the problem wouldn't occur in the first place or I already have the skill set to troubleshoot and fix things with minimal fuss, while on linux I have to scour the internet and try half a dozen different solutions before either finding something that works, break things further, and/or give up and crawl back to windows for a while until I can muster up the drive to try Linux out again. If I just poke around randomly trying to find the option to fix things I'm liable to make it worse, while doing so on windows I can generally figure it out. I know this is just a skill issue and /eventually/ I'd learn how to properly troubleshoot and fix issues, It's just very frustrated and discouraging in the meantime.

[@NormanF62]

The Aveyo bypass script actually disables the installer checks by switching to the server script because servers don’t typically require a secure boot check or a TPM.check so Windows is tricked into thinking you’re installing Windows 11 on a server bid what’s its actually doing is installing the desktop:version of Windows 11 on your unsupported PC. A hack that still works, which Microsoft will never patch now given that its given Windows 11 workarounds its official blessing.

[@MrMojolinux]

If the easy "Server" install successfully upgrades from Win10 22H2 to Win11 24H2, if MS later takes this "unsupported hardware" upgrade process down, will your prior successful Win11 24H2 upgrade installation go down with it? Or will it remain a successful Win11 24H2 Upgrade? At least until another newer "build" comes down the pipe?

[@CyberCPU]

In my opinion, I don't think Microsoft can make the USB stick method not work. Because you're actually using an old installer from 23H2 in order to install 24H2. So no matter what they do to patch workarounds in 24H2 it shouldn't affect the 23H2 installer. So yes, I think it will continue to work.

[@Gregoriosplace]

Great instruction video, even for an old guy like me. I understand that Win 10 will no longer get updates soon, but for the avg user like me, I don't see any real reason to update Win 10.

The big discussion right now is that Microsoft states that Recall is coming to Copilot plus pc's only. but when you run this find feature command in command prompt or terminal as an admin on pc's that are running 24H2 but are not copilot plus pc.s it shows recall is installed and enabeled. This is the only place in the operating system you can find Recall on the non copilot pc's. Check if RECALL is enabled: Dism /Online /Get-Featureinfo /Featurename:Recall, Disable RECALL: Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:Recall

several buddies of mine in the IT have discovered Recall is installed and enabled on non Copilot PCs running Windows 11 24H2

@@rebokfleetfoot Or at least some part of it is for some reason. I think microsoft has got some explaining to do.

Update: Totally failed to install on W10 Pro using the Server mode. Got to the first restart then undid changes and reverted back. Message on screen after W10 login says "We couldn't install Windows Server. We've set your PC back to the way it was before you started installing Windows Server. 0xC1900101 - 0x20017: The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during Boot operation". So not sure where that leaves me now as, IIRC the first method would appear to only be for an upgrade from 23H2 with W11 already installed and not for a W10 Upgrade that maintains files and settings. Failed another 3 times - always with the same error.

The FX-6300 isn't a triple-core CPU, it's a hexacore CPU (6 core), it's just that each pair of cores shares resources between them. I know Windows now regards it as 3c/6t, but I remember when Windows recognized it as an actual 6-core.

Amazing. True deep thanks 👍

Hello , this method with the iso win 11 24H2 and command setup.exe /product server is not working on my PC with Windows 11 23H2, procesor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. After installation and reboot the system stopped and show troubleshoot window, asked for keyboard layout and then I can shut it down. After reboot it come back to Windows 11 23H2 and the message pop up on the screen saying: "We couldn't install Windows Server. We've set your PC back to the way it was before you started installing Windows Server. 0xC1900101 - 0x20017: The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during Boot operation". I think it is related to processor , Ivy Bridge i7-3770 is not supported by W11 24H2 however it has proper instruction set build in SSE4.2 so I do not know why is is not possible to upgrade from Win 11 23H2 to 24H2. Previously I used your method to upgrade from Win10 PRO to Win 11 PRO using .cmd script to bypass TPU and Processor check. All went perfect and my WIN 11 23H2 is working fine. I hope you can find some way to overcome this issue and to allow people as me with older processors like i7-3770 Ivy Bridge to upgrade :) So this method you presented is not for ANY computer as you claim.

I might have to try this, as I have a decently powerful old computer(It's like the top 2 most powerful computers in the house), it runs all my games at a playable FPS, and it's got the most drive space. I really don't want to give it up and have it collecting dust in a closet or something. But my options right now are either: 1. Stay on an outdated version of windows past EOL and hope my antivirus and firewalls and my decent sense of when something is sketchy and not to download or open it, protect me. Until eventually my software stops releasing updates for it. Though hopefully with how many computers won't have official support for 11 we can hope that software manufacturers won't drop support for 10 for many years, especially since I heard that 10 and 11 are basically the same OS under the surface. 2. Use these workarounds to try to force windows 11 on there and hope it'll continue to at least allow security patches on my system all the way until like windows 12. I don't much care about feature updates as long as it's not something the programs and games I use have a dependency for. 3. Switch to Linux, which i've already dipped my toe into and well, it hasn't gone very smoothly as I get very frustrated when there's a problem and I have no idea how to fix it while I could figure it out in seconds/minutes at most on windows. I'm used to being a high-level windows users, not a Linux noob. I'm used to being the tech support not needing tech support. I will completely acknowledge that anybody who just needs basic functionality should probably not have many issues as long as the hardware is compatible and they're not into too many niche uses. You need a browser, office software, even most games(that don't use kernal anti-cheat), Linux can completely work for you with not a horrible amount of googling. 4. The final option of just biting the bullet and switching to a windows 11 compatible computer, which I actually did buy a decently powerful(by my possible low standards) mini pc with 11 on it. But it has half the storage, only a few USB ports, and no PCIe. I'm also not sure if it'll randomly die one day as I've heard occasionally happens.

[@OlettaLiano]

Thanks for the video, but I'm not installing Windows 11 24H2 on anything I own. Microsoft can bite me.

NEVER used linux before, looking into Linux Mint as M$ keeps on fucking things up.

If your not dependent on specialty software it should be painless I recommend Brave browser. Get used to Linux by running from the live media or virtualbox before jumping.
