It started but at 100% I closed it. I'm happy with windows 10 maybe in 2 years later I way installed windows 11 24H2. My command prompt worked wow!.
Blame the FAA on why upgrades are so harsh and they can go to hell everyone is switching to Linux because of them.
Dear Chris,
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the video you created. It was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of installing Windows 11 on my unsupported PC. Your clear instructions and attention to detail made the process much easier for me. Thank you for taking the time to create such a valuable resource. I wish I could subscribe you a million times🙌🙌
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for subscribing.
Thanks Chris, I don't need to do this but I just felt like watching your video. You explain everything very clearly and fully at a nice relaxed pace which I love. Brilliant!

Brilliant hack Chris. Saw the video, subscribed and downloaded!
Now have Windows 11 on my old Surface Pro 3 that I use when travelling, just finishing final updates and all looks really good.
Thanks again.
Glad you liked the hack.Thanks for the sub!
I just did this on my old MSI FX720 windows 7 laptop, to my surprise it worked and I've got windows 11. At the moment it's a bit slow but working. Thank you 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing
I can’t believe this worked! I had an old laptop with Windows 10 and it was slow as molasses, but I was able to update it and it seems to be just as fast as when I first purchased it. 😮 I’m amazed. It’s not my primary laptop, but it’s working so well that if anything ever happened to my primary laptop, I’d have a very reliable backup.

Consider upgrading your harddrive to ssd also the ram if the installed ram is low storage capacity before you install windows 11, that's what I do on my old hp laptop and its pretty fast now on bootinh and loading apps
I appreciated you being pretty detailed and going slow in the process. Thank you!

If you upgrade you will be locked out of older content such as video games and download software that's still good I wouldn't do it at this point I'd rather do my tasks on Linux.

It took three times before Windows 11 would install. First 2 times it said the version wasn't the right one for my pc. I deleted all the setups twice and went over your instructions again and again. Finally on the third time it worked. Thanks. I'll update on how it goes.
That’s great I guess as they say 3rd time lucky.

Been waiting for something like this. Just installed 11 on my unsupported 2014 Asus. Didn't take too long because I put an SSD in it a couple years ago and upgraded the ram.
That’s great, glad this helped.
Nah not ur SSD helped with the fast progress. It was that lame online checking on the tools. U need at least an hour no matter what.

I can confirm this works great and thank you. No registry hacks, etc. A few caveats though. From about 8:00, the slashes. forward and backward slash. Also, on the bit on "Choose what to keep" 9:28 The only option that worked for me was "Nothing" All the other options kept dropping the installer for some reason. I had backed up the data so no issue there. Thank you. Good knowledge sharing
Thanks for letting us know!

Followed your direction, installed on a Dell OptiPlex 7010 (32GB RAM, 7TM Storage) with i7 intel 3770 running at 3.4GHz and intel 4000 HD onboard graphics.. no issues with the install. was up in a little over an hour.

Thankyou so much. An excellent method and explanatory video. Have successfully used (eventually) other methods which needed loading file mods or other software. En route have considered methods which require Registry Mods or additional Scripts installed. This very clever method works and minimises "Squeaky Bum Time" Double bonus. Thank you again.
I am glad you like this method, its certainly much more straight forward than the other methods, without the need to use 3rd party tools.

Chris, great video. Best Windows 11 upgrade video I've seen. Question: Are the Windows 10 files still on the PC on the C: drive and if so, is there a way to switch back to Windows 10? I ask because it is always possible that Microsoft could decide in the future to do a hardware check when installing a security patch and determine that Windows 11 is not supported on the machine and then your are stuck with an unsupported Windows 11.
You can roll back within 10 days but that’s all. If you are concerned about this then please don’t upgrade, wait until you need to replace the machine.
Make a disk image of 10, if 11 doesn't work for you then you can re install 10 where you left off
@@locutiss100 That's good advice Easus ToDo Free Backup or Clonezilla which is also free can do this.
@@cwtek1 windows 7 and up have built in imaging software for backing up. Just made backup a few days ago. Works good for basic tasks
10:23 He seems to be saying that only idiots would upgrade their unsupported OS when it runs fine on win10 until the end of 2025.
Wow the only method that's actually worked for me! Thanks so much. I guess I was too late for the other methods they were patched by the time I used them.

I’ve been trying to find a way to upgrade to Win 11 on my nearly 10 year old laptop (model is 10+ years old) from Win 10 and this works like a charm without the need of any 3rd party software indeed. No need to do any registry work either. All it takes is just a few clicks of the mouse and few presses on the keyboard and boom there you have it after about a little over an hour. Honestly that system requirement check is just stupid. I feel that it’s a scam from MS to push people to upgrade to new machine. Hopefully MS won’t find this video and do something about it 😂
Thank you so much sir. Keep these videos coming! 😃
MS American Greed it is, MS Thieves!!!
Hi Chris did what said worked fine but it installed Windows11 Home still very happy thank you very much.👍
It will only install the home version if you had the home version of Windows 10. Glad this helped.
Works perfectly, thank you Chris.
Will be using this method on a W11 laptop that refuses to update. I will let you know how we get on.

I put W11 on a very old laptop as a test and your method worked just fine 👍
@@padgepadgham3238 thank you very much, that’s much appreciated and I hope you manage to get the update working.
Thanks Chris
Great video and walk through, although my setup gets stuck on 'getting things ready for install' screen and left it over night and still no luck.
Do you think Microsoft have caught up and blocked us from going any further with the install?
Thank you so much for taking up your time to do this walkthrough, its really helpful.
As far as I can tell this is still working, please try restarting your computer, actually restart, do not shutdown, then try again.
@@cwtek1 thanks Chris
It worked after rebooting as you said.
It then prompted for an update for an update preview for H2H2 and this worked!
I’m running a HP compaq mini desktop machine with a 3rd gen Intel i3 3.20Ghz with overclocking to 3.50Ghz and it’s pretty fast 🤩🙌

I would have never thought that a simple command switch would do this job; so much easier than editing the registry so thanks for sharing this tip.
One thing from an environmental point of view is that for the work environments where you wisely advise not upgrading there can be better alternatives than buying a new PC for example:
• Some systems like my HP Z240 support some Linux systems so if there are linux versions of software that the system uses that could save eWaste.
• If another operating system is not an option but the production software does not require internet access then using a system like Linux and virtualising windows 10 and isolating the VM from the internet could work an keep things safe.
I'm for keeping good hardware out of eWaste and this video will hopefully help get people onto Windows 11 and get longer out of their PCs
Tank you!
thanks for the great tip, chris. worked perfectly so i didn't have to enable tpm and secure boot in my vm. dunno how you figured this but i'm glad you did.😁

Furthermore, MS has gone overboard with all the security. It should be optional. I certainly don't see the need for it for typical home users. I've wasted hours of my time trying to upgrade a win10 VM to 11 with no sucess. I followed your instructions and was on my way in no time. I used 3rd party tools to get my win10 vm to look like win7 and everything I did ported over to win11. 😀 I've no plan to use win11 at this time, I just wanted to see what it was all about.
@@wstagner I am glad that this enabled you to see what windows 11 is all about.
yes, sadly it's more of the same 😭

This worked like a charm, liked and subbed 👍 I also saved / mount it on a USB flash drive ( you need to format the USB to NTSF not exfat due to the files is over 1GB files). Name the usb win11. Then I can tried and install it on other PC the way I don’t have to keep downloading it on other/that specific PC I want to install to. Once you plugged the USB (see what drive it is in) for me it is in D: drive just follow same steps on CMD prompt.
D:\setup.exe /product server
Press enter.

Hello, nice video, once upgraded to windows 11 do you know if it will continue to support all Microsoft updates via update manager? Thx
If your system is not supported then you will only get security updates whilst your version of windows 11 is supported, normally if you want to upgrade to the latest feature update then some manual intervention is usually required.
Did it with Rufus, and it works like a charm on my mini desktop pc Fujitsu Esprimo Q920 with the i5-4590T CPU.
This method shows you how to do it without using any 3rd party tools!
Yeah he's an idiots used Rufus n u need manually active ur keys. This method gives u a free activation key n basically u got windows 11 free.

Definitely will install as I got to the installation page but it wouldn’t allow me the option of being able to keep all my apps and files? It would only allow me to keep my files then install. I don’t fancy the drawn out process of having to re-install all of my programs.😕
This normally happens if you have downloaded the ISO file which has a different language from the one you have already installed.

Dear Chris, thank you so much for making this video. Sadly the method doesn't work for me. I followed every step, but sadly the installer kills itself in the moment of 11:10 , when it switches from "getting ready" to the "Ready to install" screen. The setup process literally just aborts and doesn't exist anymore in task manager. Would you have any idea what might be causing this?
EDIT: got it to work by turning off the update checking in the first step. It just did the updates later by itself :) Installation went through smoothly on a machine from 2007 ! Win11 runs beautifully on it. So glad I found your video.

It even transferred all my files, so, thank you!

@@cwtek1 I did have a little trouble though, it kept complaining about the driver for the GPU not working right, but I reinstalled it with out saving anything and now it is working properly.
Hi,
So I tried this on a Virtual Box Windows 10 VM. While following the directions given, I ran into a problem during the CMD section of the instructions, I got an error message that said "the app couldn't run on your PC". So I used the media creation tool, chose the option of "best suited for this pc" and then created an ISO from there. Once I did this using the media creation tool, I was able to use your instructions with the CMD prompt interface and I got to the point of installation, and no error messages.
I decided to try "keeping nothing", as I have a backup of this VM, and I wanted to see how a fresh install/upgrade would go. If it doesn't work out, I can try again and choose the keep files and settings option instead. Anyway, Windows 11 is now installing on my VM!
Thank you for this video!
I am glad that this installed for you and thank you for tell us how you overcome your initial problem.
Hey Chris, can you use the “setup.exe /product server” command to make a clean install?
Maybe by booting a windows flash and shift+f10?
I am not sure I haven't tried, but I think this will only work from Within Windows.
I would expect a clean install to ask for a product key.
@@pat8988 If your PC has a digital license and you havent changed too much hardware since Windows 10 was installed on that machine last then Windows will recognise that you had a license and whilst it will ask for a product key, you can always say activate later without giving a key and then when your Windows is installed and connected to the internet it will activate.
This video is very good. I have two questions please. Will Windows be activated after installation? Is it possible to delete old Windows 10 to have more disk space?
Yes if your version of Windows 10 is activated then the activation will carry over to 11 and yes you can either use the cleanup tool to remove windows 10 files or just wait 10 days and they will be deleted automatically.
@@cwtek1 thank you so much
If you don’t see MOUNT, right click the ISO and click “open with” then open with windows explorer, then right click ISO again and then mount will be available. 😊
Yes that will work too.

Hi Chris, thanks for the simple process to upgrade from 10 to 11. One minor problem, the screen 'Choose what to keep' only allows two options, 'Keep personal files only', or 'Nothing'. The 'Keep files, settings, and apps' is greyed out and cannot be selected? Any thoughts on that? Thank you.
You need to ensure you have downloaded the version of windows 11 that matches the language of windows 10 you have installed ie if you downloaded English International then try another English version such as English United States.
Thank you, successfully completed:)
@@cwtek1
@@cwtek1 I can confirm. I had downloaded the US version and encountered this exact issue. Downloaded the international version and the option to keep apps and files was back. So you helped me twice with one video.
Ever since Windows 11 was released I have been installing it without issue simply by creating a bootable USB drive and then renaming the appraiserres.dll file in the Sources folder and then running a clean install.
Yes that is another way, this just simplifies things.

@@TheRobMozza Yes, we are all so delighted to correct you too: You should have written "should've" or "should have" and not "should of". The preposition 'of' doesn't go before a verb like that at all. 😉

So I decided to download the Windows 11 23h2 pro version from Microsoft and install it on my 12 year old Acer Aspire 5750G laptop. All went smoothly, and it's not showing signs of problems 😀.
I bypassed Microsofts compatability checker to allow the installation process. It has also been activated with Microsoft 😀.
Not bad for a 12 year old laptop which specs are, Acer Aspire 5750G running i5-2450M 2.5GHz with turbo boost to 3.1GHz, 750GB HHD, 8GB DDR3 memory, it's nothing special by today's standards but when I bought it 12 years ago it was of good specification and it wasn't cheap!!
Thanks a lot, Genius.

Whatever loophole MS had to install this thing as server may have been closed by now, telling me it cannot determine whether this system can get the installation. Good thing you warned us all very well that it may fail at any point. I did back up my whole partition but that was moot as MS did not embark on a partial installation.
Some computers are seeing this message even computers that should be fully supported!
Windows 11 does work on older machines. i tried this method of a Core 2 Duo E5800. I created a USB stick and the installation went fine, but honestly, Windows 11 is quirky garbage and I see no advantage to upgrading to Windows 11 at this time. I wouldn't say I like the way it keeps nagging you to log into a Microsoft account. Thanks for posting this info.
I am glad to help sorry to hear you are not a big fan of Windows 11.
I have no idea why this happened. I downloaded from Microsoft the Windows 11 .iso file onto my flash drive. I rebooted into the drive. It installed about 75% and then a box popped up telling me this was a Rufus made flash drive and it needed a couple of more options to install further. Reverted back to my Dell OptiPlex which is 14 years old and Windows 10. So I hit setup in Windows Explorer and the flash drive and it installed Windows 11. A couple of days later everything is smooth. All updates had worked and are working. Activated also. Loving it.
7:17 wouldn't it be easier and quicker just to 'extract' the ISO image instead of mount, copy and paste? also at 7:51 there is clearly an option to the right 'Run as administrator' which would of been a simpler option.
Yes it could be but some people may have iso software that may not have the option to extract the iso on their machine.
One item, setup initially kept getting hung on the Getting Updates portion and nothing would happen. On the Install Windows Server screen, click on “Change how Setup downloads updates.” Another screen will come up “Get updates, drivers and optional features” click on “Not right now” and click next. The setup will now continue all the way through without any hangups.
Yes the same has happened to me in the past!
Yeah probably internet slow issues
Great but one small quest - my laptop fully supports windows 11 but it was bought in a country which does not permit TPM in any form. A Dell G3 15 which ordinarily does support windows 11 - if I do this will it, given that all other parameters exist, be a stable upgrade - or can't you say?
As the video says if this machine is vital to you then do not upgrade, it should upgrade but as it doesn't have TPM then Microsoft could block future upgrades or use if it doesn't meet all the requirements, doubtful they will but there is always a chance!
I heard that there is a lot of problems with windows 11 and this puts me in an uneasy mode. Can you tell me , is it worth it? When you say to delete the windows 11 folder after installation - can you explain if the wins10 is there, are all the wins 10 files upgraded to 11 or not sure-
If you feel uneasy then don’t do it, I am not trying to persuade anyone to upgrade to something they are not sure about. The windows 11 folder you need to delete is just the files needed to upgrade to Windows 11 once you have upgraded these are no longer needed and are just taking up around 7gb of space.
You have a windows.old folders in c: with all your files you have on your previous windows 10.
No trouble at all, I have install windows 11 on my 2009 laptop with a modified iso, after a ram ans ssd upgrade, it's works really fine, all runs perfectly.
My old laptop is more faster than the little newest lenovo of my son who's have windows 11 natively.
I have to try this method on one of my other hdd or ssd I kept on backup just in case.
But as I have seen in this video, you can run it without any reason to doubt.
The only trouble I have, and my old laptop was on windows 10 previously since the release, on the latest version on older computer you can't make virtual machine because of the damn puce tpm and the newest security things.
I look for a way but for now I don't find anything on this subject.
I need virtual machine, I have to use my son laptop to make it.
But my oldest laptop run like if was out of the box and it's good
Thank you for the video! Anyone who upgraded from Win 10, did the upgrade mess up the order of shortcuts on the desktop?
Not for me.
Worked a treat many thanks.

Thank you Chis very much indeed. For me I wasn't given the option to keep the apps and files, only the files; but no worries as I only had Office on there which I am reinstalling as we speak. All of my personal files were untouched.
After the install finished, the resolution of the screen was stretched but that was fixed with a restart so all looks good will let you know if any problems down the line.
Update: the computer has just told me to restart as it needs to update so updates are working too :-)
You're welcome, I am sorry to hear you were not given the option to keep both apps and files, but it sounds like you have that in hand reinstalling Office, a restart can fix a number of issues!

Thank you so much for this feedback. I wasn't sure of my original install language, so I chose English International, unfortunately, it gave me the limitation. But this is now giving me the confidence to go ahead and continue with the installation.
@@EbrahimDurosimi I am glad you now have the confidence to install Windows 11.
Bedankt
Thank you so much for your support.
Great video✌

What if the update porocess asks for your MS account details when installing and getting your PC ready ?. If this is on a second older PC do I just input my existing MS account details ?. Thank you.
I haven't seen that myself, but then I generally don't have an MS account attached to Windows I normally stick with a local account, but if it asks then put your existing details in that are setup already on your machine.
Thank you Sir

The only not compliant issue on my computer is the TPM 2.0. How critical that would be for future updates? Anyone has an idea? Thanks
You will get security updates but not automatically get feature updates, to update to these usually manual intervention is required.
@@cwtek1 Thank you !
as far as I know, for future feature updates, you'll have to redo a whole update of win11 like explained in this video.
does this enable bitlocker on the c drive?
No it doesn’t unless you are upgrading from Windows Pro where you can turn it on if you wish.
Thanks Chris.
