      Great tutorial just finished the whole vid and makes me want to try this on an old laptop. Any idea if you use multiple machines on the same account, would you be able to use windows 10 on one pc and win 11 on the other without any issues?

      @@goshdamnitross3370 That's the spirit! If one person is inspired, making this video was worth it. Now, to your questions, if you upgrade a system from Win 10 to 11, that original key is retired and becomes a Win 11 key for one system. So, that key, cannot be used for another system again. Hopefully we interpreted that correctly 🙂

      Just so you know, you don't "have to" register with a Microsoft account if you don't want to. During any of the options of the setup process, when asks for a Microsoft account, disconnect from the internet and hit F5. It will refresh to setup a local user account. However, if you want to use the store and some security features, you will have to create a Microsoft Account. I have installed Windows 11 on machines using DDR2 with an SSD using MBR, bypassing secure boot and the GPT HDD requirement. Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with an interface upgrade... that is all. So don't kid yourself that it's a "New" OS, it's not. It's just a feature update, nothing more. You just have to get rid of the crap code they added to the installation.

      Hey you're a life saver! Only option that seems like it might work without data loss and still be able to give me updates. One question - I'm still getting a warning screen that says that my version is currently incompatible and I have to accept the risk of the update not working and receiving no updates from Windows. It will let me proceed, but I have to accept the risk. Am I doing something wrong, or do I just accept? First I saved the appraiserres.dll in notepad and when that didn't work, I deleted it. Something I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

I did not find the 1st video to be long winded as another person wrote, but appreciated the very thorough and clear explanation of what to expect and options to consider. I did appreciate the comment from someone to check out the 2nd video before proceeding, as it contained great time saving comments, which I did incorporate. I have used many TH-cam instructional videos over the years but find this to be two of the best! Thank you again for your help.

I did a clean reinstall and did not attempt to save anything. I had to download a number of hardware drivers from hp support (for Windows 10 as no Windows 11 drivers were identified for my machine), include a bios update, before everything was working. I then reinstalled my programs and copied my data back from a back-up. The laptop is great and functions as well as another laptop that I purchased with Windows 11 pre-installed. I am very pleased with the result as it is like having a new machine.

    Not sure why so many "wise" comments about potentiality of not having access to system updates. If you are afraid just don't upgrade to 11. Anyway in 3 years, Microsoft will stop updating win 10.

    This worked for me, download both windows 10 and windows 11 ISOs. Extract both using 7zip into their respective folders. Copy the install.esd from the windows 11, sources folder into the windows 10, sources folder by overwriting the version there. Run the setup from the windows 10 folder. Your install would be at full speed (no USB drive needed) and completes faster. This upgrades the existing version from 10 to 11.

    I've yet to try the method outlined so I can't yet comment on the technical accuracy of the method outlined. I can however say that I wish that more Internet experts could speak and plan what they were about to say with the clarity and logical simplicity as this speaker. No "Ummm"'s, no repeating the same topics, no "Er"'s, no jumping around as though this was the very first time that the speaker was ever discussing the topic. He knew what he wanted to say and in what order; it was a thouroughly professional discourse. Also (and speaking as a non-American) it contained no trans-Atlantic slang, acronyms, terms or references ... dear God but they can be such a bore; if you plan to do something similar try to realise that not everyone in the world is familiar with the nightly vocabulary of what passes for entertainment on US TV or in US high scools. This presentation was well worth the listen.

  • @spudhead169

    The method you show in this video is actually the SAME method as deleting the file. The reason is because you cannot edit a DLL with notepad. When you make these changes and save it, you corrupt the DLL so it can no longer be loaded correctly by the kernel. This results in exactly the same effect as deleting it.

    • @getconnectednow
      @getconnectednow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    After waiting a couple of years, decided to try this workaround of yours. Windows indicated my I-7 5-year-old Intel processor wasn't up to snuff for this upgrade, plus my Dell motherboard wouldn't allow me to swap out the processor, so I came back to this video and deleted all the TPM lines, which opened up the install. So far, things are running smoothly, like with Windows 10. This restrictive hardware scheme was nothing but a scam by PC makers to squeeze more money out of consumers.

I had to start the process over, but I lost some important data. What happened was the darn laptop went to sleep in mid install. So to be on the safe side before any major install I'd be sure to go into those personalized screen settings and make sure that everything stays on...nothing takes a snooze. That's all.

Disabled (Ultra Fast Boot) in bios and made USB first boot option. Installed Win 11 from USB boot (deleted all partitions). After using the (I don't have a win11 key) installed and booted up to Win11 activated.Then did all latest Updates including GPU all went quick. What I really really like about win11 is the added security from the hardware TPM chip(Intel 8th Gen and up). Overall happy with win11 speed as good if not better than win10. Only negative so far is the one extra click (willing to put up with it). Recommend win11 for 8th gen and up cpu.

    I had upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10 home. After about 1 1/2 months it killed my SSD hard drive and made it unrecognizable within my pc in the bios. I would not recommend using windows 11 unless you have the equipment up to par. When I say up to par I mean all your components from motherboard, gpu, cpu, etc.
    Windows 11 is a great layout and I enjoyed the accessibility it had especially being able to have multiple windows in different orientations or layouts and the update of the start menu being centered and having all the most frequently used apps quickly accessible.
    Keep in mind I have a gaming pc. It’s not super expensive but it handles games well such as Diablo 2 resurrection, MW 2.0 , and Elden ring.

    Windows 11 can be install easily using Rufus, a tool which let you make bootable USB drives. It has the option to download, remove the requirement stuff and make the usb all without having to deal with anything else. That I feel is much faster and easier for normal users.

    I also did the same with an Dell Inspiron N5010, and my Windows 7 Activation Key worked to my surprise.

    Here is yet another method. This even works on my i9 27" iMac to create an external Windows 11 Boot.
    1. Make both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 Install USB using the Win 10 and Win 11 Media Creators.
    2. Drag the install.esd file from the sources folder on the Win10 Install USB out of the folder or renamewith .bak.
    3. Copy the install.esd file from the Win 11 Install USB from its sources folder into the sources folder on the Win10 USB install USB
    4. Prepare a volume for installation if not using the existing boot volume by initializing as NTFS.
    5. Boot to the modified Win10 Install USB and proceed as normal.
    Remember you will need to select Delete on the blank NTFS volume at the selection of volume window before installation will be allowed. Be careful to select the correct volume!
    If no product key simply select 'No Product Key' and you may install a trial mode version of any version, Pro, Home etc.
    It took longer to type this that to actually do most of this.

    From reading the comments below, I think I must have been exceptionally lucky. For starters I am a relative novice but followed the instructions as provided in video on my 4 year old non Intel (AMD Ryzen 7 2700U) Dell. All went smoothly (I had fully backed up incase of disasters) and the box migrated to Win 11. I was expecting not to receive updates but have been receiving regular Win 11 updates (at least 1 or more a week). The only problem I have is adjusting to the Win 11 settings and locations of Setup functions. The box has been ticking over for the past few weeks and although I only use for short bursts, it is my primary box (have also an old Toshiba i5 Win 10 and a UBUNTU Linux box) but to date (fingers crossed) have experience no unexplained issues.

    Microsoft may have shot themselves in the foot with this one, we run many sites with expensive hardware, they are around 4-5 years old and we paid a fortune for these 12-16 cores / 128GB RAM machines, and because they only support TPM 1.2 so while they can run everything, Windows 11 is not fully supported, we can use this method to bypass the restriction but have no faith in Microsoft not to move the goal post even further, so between now and 2025 we are starting to migrate them to Ubuntu or others, their wet dreams with TPM may be a valid reason but it should be an option other than forced.

    The problem is, many of the people I've heard from who've upgraded to 11 now wish they hadn't. There's apparently significant functionally that was removed from Win11 that people actually used and miss after upgrading. That's a huge faux pas on Microsoft's part.

    Not really my field of expertise but have watched this and appreciated it. It seems to me that having done the compatibility test Windows could have gone ahead and used an alternate file like the one you created on incompatible ones. I can only imagine that they didn't because they have future updates planned that will fail in the absence of the gizmo being tested for. It's less pain to annoy people now by not letting them install the new version, rather than have them baying for blood after a future update turned into a disaster for millions.

  • @justmemyselfandi5532

    I think all of you who will try to do this are missing the point. It is not about "can you install it" it is about how user experience will be, especially with future updates. I would not bother at all, and would not install windows on PCs officially not supported by Windows 11. Who cares anyway and most of us will buy some kind of newer PC in next 5 years. worthless effort in my opinion, though thx for effort to make this video, appreciated the sharing and thumbs up, though not happy with mind set "look I have windows 11 on crap PC" I do not see the point in that.

    Great info but as one other blogger pointed out this is a conspiracy between MS and the major hardware makers such as Dell to get you to buy new laptops and desktops every few years when a 7 year old device works just fine with win 10 or 7. If MS was honest they would create a version for older devices without the TPM and other support. I am also sick of MS trying to force it's users to do everything their way. They have become like Apple in recent times.

  • @fragalot
    @fragalot ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is some of the worst advice I've seen in a long time.
    1:06 #3 is wrong. You only need the product key, not a Microsoft account since it really won't matter if you're installing windows that has no interrent. There are many apps you can use (and commands you can use in the command line) to see what your product key is. Other than that you can buy a new product key for under $20.
    3:27 So you get a CPU compatibility message, but you edit a .DLL file (which is an executable) and only remove the checks for TPM, and that somehow allows the installer to ignore the CPU check? You know there's easier ways to get around all of these bogus restrictions Microsoft put into Windows 11, without editing anything.
    10:19 A Product key is entirely unnecessary to install windows, as you CAN skip it when it prompts you for it, and again you don't need to be signed into your MS account to do an upgrade. It's entirely safe and LEGAL to install windows unactivated and use it. Besides it will automatically activate it self, since it's a laptop. All OEM motherboards are ALREADY registered and linked to a product key at Microsoft even if you do a clean "nuclear option" install. Assuming the key isn't for a really old version of Windows (like Vista). Soon Windows 7 and 8 product keys will no longer upgrade to Windows 11.
    10:52 The proper "nuclear option" is to reboot the PC to the USB drive, delete all partitions of the primary drive, and then install Windows. I'm not even sure why you bothered to make the USB/media creation tool when you never booted to that USB drive. You can do everything you just did by running the installer from the media creation tool app without it creating the USB drive, the ENTIRE POINT of making that USB drive is so you can boot to it. If you had ran the installer from your downloads folder it would install A LOT faster than it would installing it from a slow USB 2.0 drive.

    Saved. However, I am sceptical about Windows Upgrades. I was quite happy with XP TBH.

It's different maybe if you are actually using your computer AS a COMPUTER, doing processor-heavy stuff, crunching bulk numbers, but who needs infinite interoperability between all windows applications, annoying software that is always panting to "help" intrusive requests for access to your mother's underwear drawer and all your friends' details?
