I’m here from 2 videos ago one being upgrading windows 10 to 11 using a long method. Then from windows 10 to windows 11 by deleting one file. Now I’m here lol thanks for the helpful videos!! 👏🏽
This was the best WINDOWS 11 for fresh install on unsupported PCs. Followed your step-by-step instructions, and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the video!
Did a clean install of Windows 11 on 11/22/2021, the day this video was posted, so far everything is working perfect and updates keep coming in....Thank you!
This is the video i have been looking for . I have just installed windows 11 on an unsupported laptop but want to have windows 10 as well with the dual boot , thanks for the tutorial
This is a proper SBS demonstration video by far over many others who think they are on top of everyone else by abruptly presenting a waste of time video in which no one can understand what they are talking about! This is the best educational video for freshly installed and dual boot for everyone and most importantly it works! P.s. could do with a tutorial video to remove one of the systems and reverse back to a single boot system. Thank you.
Well I was building a PC at home and my wife sent me on an errand then tidied my desk. When I returned I was missing the TPM module and all of the ram, and my SSD. Fast forward a month and I have new ram, and still haven't found the TPM module or ssd. optanes were already installed. Luckily your instructions worked. I can get another TPM module, but it took 5 weeks to get one last time. specs: epyc 9124, supermicro H13SSL-NT, 96GB, 118GB optane boot and a 1TB hdd from another project, plus rtx 4070
Not what I was looking for when searching TH-cam for 'dual boot issues', but an otherwise fascinating video on installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. Have you ever noticed delays during the bootup process when using dual boot? I just bought a brand new laptop and it took about 2-3 seconds to display the Windows login screen. I set up a dual boot system (once by cloning the Windows partition and the second time with a clean Windows 11 install) with two Windows 11 partitions (both on the same NVMe), and now it takes 15 seconds just for the dual boot menu to appear, then 2-3 seconds to get to the main Windows 11 partition (the original install) and 25 seconds to get to the secondary Windows 11 partition. I have a dual boot system set up on my 9 year old laptop (which was original W7 and then updated; not clean installs; to W8.1 and W10) which has a bog standard HDD, and because it is much slower booting up, I never noticed that this also suffers different time delays.
Never really noticed something like that but didn't pay close attention to it neither to be honest. I would typically only have dual boot for different OS versions or like Linux/Windows. I would then probably point at a difference there rather than having something to do with dual boot itself. With two the same OS versions and such a difference, that's strange indeed.
You are Awesome, Totally Works Anybody watching I request you to perform dual boot on unsupported hardware because the after the Direct Upgrade I got several BSOD and eventually messed up!!
What a fantastic & clear video on this, thank you, I will be trying this now. I have 11 on an external SSD but 10 on the maid H/D, so was thinking of doing the same as you, as 11 on Ext SSD is not very fast 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@jensdbe Hi, I followed all your instructions & dual booting perfectly and fast. After making a full back up, I have now erased the original W10 on the "C" Drive and used it's space for the W11.................brilliant & very fast now. Thank you 👍👍
Hi jensd, I have a suggestion, Can you try and make a video of dual booting windows 11 along with chrome os flex for older hardware? that would be really great, and i'm sure there must be many people looking out for a proper tutorial of that. Thank you for all your previous tutorials :)
Thank you, 5 Star Rating, one of best instructions I ever have seen. Jensd, when I install 11 Pro from previous 10 home, how window will handle the upgrade activation!
I want to ask what to do cuz i followed every step but whenever I chose my usb for boot after selecting it my laptop shows a empty purple screen with only cursor I tried everything everytime it gets stuck on that screen in short the setup process isn't showing up instead a empty purple screen
I tried every step even tried Rufus even used both gpt and MBR still the setup doesn't start after i select the usb any solution and the one time setup started it showed error "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase" please help
Hi Jens, it's not working for me :( (I'm wanting to install Win 10 alongside existing Win 11 Pro). I follow your video but when I came to start the install after the boot all is well until it asks where the installation files are and then gives an error message advising it can't find a USB stick with the required files even when I direct it to the stick. Any thoughts? Would it be more successful if I did a clean install of Win 10 and then tried to install Win 11 alongside it?
Thank you for this video, do we need two seperate windows keys to use this? I have windows 10, but instead of upgrading I want to see if it works well on my computer. Dual boot will allow me if I don't need another windows key.
Disk Management can't shrink ext4 (or similar) volumes but the same approach should work offcourse. There are other tools to do that like gparted for example. Might do a video on that in the future, just need to find some time...
Rufus is easier to install with a bypass but in general, let them remove their restrictions and do not put it at all otherwise you will constantly run after hardware for new Windows
I followed your instructions exactly and got windows 11 to work on my Lenovo laptop every things worked perfectly for a few days. When I booted up today all the icons in the task bar had disappeared. I tried to open settings with windows key+I. A blakn screen opens up briefly with only the cogwheel displayed so I cannot access any settings. Can you suggest anything
For a fresh install or dual boot, this method does work with 22H2. For upgrading, I have an updated video over here: th-cam.com/video/GI2B5H2tYLs/w-d-xo.html
I don’t know if you can help but my situation is this i have an intel macbook with dual boot options mac OS Catalina with windows 11 boot assistant option installed in an external SSD, whenever i boot up my mac i hold option key then i have option which to boot.

Suggest me some ideas to not erase my Dual options boot macOS Catalina and windows 11 from external SSD.
Hello there. Fantastic videos. I've only just stumbled across them now. I'm having and issue doing the dual boot, as it says my selected disk has an MBR partition table. It says it needs to be installed to GPT disks. What have I don't wrong?
This is really great and helpful video. Can I ask if I can install windows 11 as dual boot in another harddrive because I only have 40gb left on my local c drive ssd.
I have 2 hard drives, I can't put it on the hard drive that has win 10 home. Had to put it on the second one . I tried win 11 pro and it's asking for a activation key. What do I do. Need help. Thanks
Yes, that should work in exactly the same way instead of using the USB drive, just boot from the DVD and go through the same steps to overcome the hardware check.
Awesome. Only one thing (well 2 really, lol) Anyway, You mentioned "32 Bit" I have a "64 Bit" machine, thus I stopped what I was doing. A shame though, I wanted to do this as a trial of that system before deciding on doing the full Win 11 PRO. For the other question, Is then there a way to change the Win 11 Home version to Pro in that dual boot? Good work though man. Thanks
This does work on 64bit. It's on 32 bit that it would not work :) To change from Home to Pro, it depends a bit. If your PC has a key saved in the BIOS, the setup will detect that and take the version for which the key matches. Look for ei.cfg for Windows 11 to override that behavior.
Hi. Found your second video on the subject, and All is well. I just did the full install of windows 11. Lost some of my data, but oh well. People, do a back up before trying. Thank you for the wonderful information @@jensdbe Now to do the same to my laptop. hehehe.
Thanks I bought new laptop 1 year ago Alienware 15 R4 with windows 10 Home has OEM key after time I bought windows 10 pro key from Microsoft site Retail Key and was working well . I got upgrade to windows 11 . I did and my laptop was working good with windows 11 pro . I needed to make fresh install ( clean install)of windows 11 I used rest this PC in windows 11 recovery . Remove everything. Cloud install. With my same email of Microsoft account after successfully finished install. I found my OS windows is windows 11 Home not windows 11 pro.i don't know why although I have windows 11 pro Retail original key digital license connected with Microsoft account. please help me, Nobody can answer correctly for this matter ?
Thank you for the information. Definitely a better way to accomplish this. I followed and double checked your directions for my older HP desktop and it all works up to the point where the installer reboots the PC. When it does, I get an error :( "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you). It also shows a "stop code" INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. Although the PC restarts, it just goes into a loop and continues to hit the same error each time. I've let the PC restart several times and the install never progresses beyond this point. Have you heard of this issue and do you know of a fix for it? Thank you
what if i use .iso file like the previous video you made, coz i don't have good network/internet to use by windows media creation tool,, so i mount into the flash drive using rufus, does it work master..? my partition using MBR already, with SSD drive.
If my objective is to also keep all windows 10 installed software, can I: 1. Mirror the Windows 10 boot drive to the new partition 2. Install Windows 11 as an Upgrade on the new partition following your dual boot installation instruction Then I should be able to retain all links to previously installed software (even those in a different, untouched partitions/drives) If there's ever a future unanticipated issue with unsupported hardware running Win 11, I can then revert back to the old boot Win 10. Do you foresee any issues with this "enhanced" dual boot with Upgrade rather than fresh Win 11? Thanks in advance.
If I understood correct, you would like to keep a copy of your current Windows 10 install as it is now in case something goes wrong. Then indeed, clone your current Windows 10 install to a new partition or drive (something like gParted could be used for this). Next, you should not go through the fresh install/dual boot process, as you already will have two installations that can dual boot: two times Windows 10: original and clone. The next step should just be to upgrade one of these two installs to Windows 11 using the upgrade methode (as described here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI2B5H%202tYLs) The only downside is that the new applications you install and all new settings and data will not be synchronised to that 2nd installation. So in case you would decided to go back after 6 months, I don't really know how relevant that old installation would still be.
Thanx for the video. I did the same thing. Did you get booted out of the Insider Program like I did and do you get feature updates or just updates to Win 11??
I used release versions. I initially used the insider program builds but switched to release once it was officially out. So not sure if you get the same updates on insider builds.
Hi jensd_be, which method you will suggest to me? I am running Windows 10 now, Should I upgrade to Windows 11 by following your previous video, or should I do fresh windows 11 install?
For me, a fresh install always feels better as it doesn't have any "old" files anymore. But it's more work as you will first need to take a good backup, then re-install all your applications.
That's what I mentioned during the video, "the volume which we created before, called Win11. So this is the one we need to select and click Next". Check out th-cam.com/video/iPc4Tmhv-1o/w-d-xo.html
@@jensdbe And what if my pc has both TPM and Secure boot but missed the CPU requirement. Should i still include the registry for both TMP and Secure boot?
You mean if it's not booting from the USB drive? Usually F8 or F12 lets you enter the boot menu from which you can select to boot from the USB drive. If you don't find how exactly, the best is to Google for Boot X from USB, where X is the model of your PC or mainboard.
I have the same computer as you, I want to do the same dual boot but! I'm get confused when you delete all those partitions, I want to keep my recovery from Windows 10, is this possible in case I don't want the windows 11 and keep my windows 10 as is it?
If you want a dual boot, there is no need to delete partition. You need to go through the steps in Windows 10 to resize the Windows 10 partition, then create a new one for Windows 11. In the installer, just select he Windows 11 partition as destination and all other partitions remain.
Windows itself will not really touch the other drive/partition and it could come in handy to move/copy/access files from the other drives in some cases. If desired to hide the drive from the other operating system, you could simply unassign the drive letter using Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)
Depends a bit on your PC. I've seen some which can boot of an SD card but mostly when there is a built-in card reader. You'll need to test it to find out.
Not 100% sure, there is a chance that the Windows 7 installation will overwrite the bootloader. In that case you can repair it by booting from the Windows 10/11 USB drive and Troubleshoot -> Startup Repair. The Windows 10 or 11 bootloader should then also be able to boot Windows 7 as well. Better to install from old to new so 7, 10, 11 :)
Dual boot without USB drive will be hard as launching the installer from within Windows is supposed to be an upgrade. You could create an ISO and boot from that but I guess if you don't have a USB drive, an empty DVD will be an issue as well :)
I don't get it. One screen you had win10 135gb, but then the next screen when you fast forward, it had the same 135gb but it didn't say win10. It shows temp. You deleted that temp 135gb which was win10. After deleting win10 135gb, your drive went up to 235gb space. So how does it show win10 and win11 on the screen when you deleted the win10 135gb?
The volumes Win10 and Win11 only matter when you want to do a dual boot install. For the fresh install part (where the Win10 volume is indeed called Temp), it doesn't matter at all as you just delete any partition that is already there. So two options: 1) Dual boot: you split your current Win10 partition in a smaller Win10 + new Win11, using Disk management and select that new Win11 during the installation 2) Fresh install: skip the splitting part, boot straight away from the USB drive and delete every partition which was there You don't need to do both, they are two separate things.
Huh? I know how to do a fresh install, but your video says "dual boot" and not fresh install. For fresh install, of course you deleted all partitions. If someone deletes all partitions and do what you showed them, then they could lose everything because you told them. If the title of the video says dual boot, then I expect to see a demo how to do a dual boot.
In the meanwhile, Microsoft has released Windows 11 23H2. You can find an updated video about doing a fresh installation of 23H2 on unsupported hardware over here: th-cam.com/video/7uY3cVxrLP8/w-d-xo.html

Any Windows 11 ISO should do and works with these instructions. Not the Frankenstein-like Windows 10 combined with Windows 11 files though.
nice
If my objective is to also keep all windows 10 installed software, can I:
1. Mirror the Windows 10 boot drive to the new partition
2. Install Windows 11 as an Upgrade on the new partition following your dual boot installation instruction
Then I should be able to retain all links to previously installed software (even those in a different, untouched partitions/drives)
If there's ever a future unanticipated issue with unsupported hardware running Win 11, I can then revert back to the old boot Win 10.
Do you foresee any issues with this "enhanced" dual boot with Upgrade rather than fresh Win 11?
Thanks in advance.
If I understood correct, you would like to keep a copy of your current Windows 10 install as it is now in case something goes wrong.
Then indeed, clone your current Windows 10 install to a new partition or drive (something like gParted could be used for this).
Next, you should not go through the fresh install/dual boot process, as you already will have two installations that can dual boot: two times Windows 10: original and clone.
The next step should just be to upgrade one of these two installs to Windows 11 using the upgrade methode (as described here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI2B5H%202tYLs)
The only downside is that the new applications you install and all new settings and data will not be synchronised to that 2nd installation. So in case you would decided to go back after 6 months, I don't really know how relevant that old installation would still be.
Thanx for the video. I did the same thing. Did you get booted out of the Insider Program like I did and do you get feature updates or just updates to Win 11??
I used release versions. I initially used the insider program builds but switched to release once it was officially out. So not sure if you get the same updates on insider builds.
Hi jensd_be, which method you will suggest to me? I am running Windows 10 now, Should I upgrade to Windows 11 by following your previous video, or should I do fresh windows 11 install?
For me, a fresh install always feels better as it doesn't have any "old" files anymore. But it's more work as you will first need to take a good backup, then re-install all your applications.
Shouldn't you install win 11 on the win11 partition to get dual boot; and leave win 10 partition untouched?
That's what I mentioned during the video, "the volume which we created before, called Win11. So this is the one we need to select and click Next". Check out th-cam.com/video/iPc4Tmhv-1o/w-d-xo.html
In the registry, do I need to do anything for unsupported CPU? Like you did for TPM and Secure Boot Check.
Great video, thanks.
No, these options somehow also lets you pass with an unsupported CPU :)
@@jensdbe And what if my pc has both TPM and Secure boot but missed the CPU requirement. Should i still include the registry for both TMP and Secure boot?
Unsupported CPU will do not need bypass registry. It means just keep unsupported CPU without bypass registry
My processor is not supported for window 11
That's what the video is about, to get around this limitation :)
@@jensdbe oh ok 😁
Is there anyway to fresh install and upgrade to 11pro if you had windows 10 home? Great videos.
If there is no key in the BIOS, the installer will ask you which version to install. It would not be activated unless you add a key for pro though.
what to do right now if not opening
You mean if it's not booting from the USB drive? Usually F8 or F12 lets you enter the boot menu from which you can select to boot from the USB drive. If you don't find how exactly, the best is to Google for Boot X from USB, where X is the model of your PC or mainboard.
Its not working on my laptop 😢
I have the same computer as you, I want to do the same dual boot but! I'm get confused when you delete all those partitions, I want to keep my recovery from Windows 10, is this possible in case I don't want the windows 11 and keep my windows 10 as is it?
If you want a dual boot, there is no need to delete partition. You need to go through the steps in Windows 10 to resize the Windows 10 partition, then create a new one for Windows 11.
In the installer, just select he Windows 11 partition as destination and all other partitions remain.
I see, that the Win10 and Win11 drives are both accessible in file manager. Wouldn't it be safer for the two systems to be hidden from each other?
Windows itself will not really touch the other drive/partition and it could come in handy to move/copy/access files from the other drives in some cases. If desired to hide the drive from the other operating system, you could simply unassign the drive letter using Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)
@@jensdbe Thanks the the comment!
Will this work with an sd card too? I currently don't have a large enough usb drive
Depends a bit on your PC. I've seen some which can boot of an SD card but mostly when there is a built-in card reader. You'll need to test it to find out.
After dual booting windows 10 and windows 11 could i add windows 7 to make it a triple boot
Not 100% sure, there is a chance that the Windows 7 installation will overwrite the bootloader. In that case you can repair it by booting from the Windows 10/11 USB drive and Troubleshoot -> Startup Repair. The Windows 10 or 11 bootloader should then also be able to boot Windows 7 as well. Better to install from old to new so 7, 10, 11 :)
Hi wonder if fresh install windows11 of 23H2 can be applied the same method with bypass secureboot and TPM in regedit? thank you.
For a fresh install this is indeed the case. I tested this yesterday and do plan to do another video on that.
thank you @@jensdbe
Hey, How can I dual Boot without USB drive
I also tried upgrading with your method but after hours of Upgrading it says Windows 11 Upgrade Fails
Dual boot without USB drive will be hard as launching the installer from within Windows is supposed to be an upgrade. You could create an ISO and boot from that but I guess if you don't have a USB drive, an empty DVD will be an issue as well :)
I don't get it. One screen you had win10 135gb, but then the next screen when you fast forward, it had the same 135gb but it didn't say win10. It shows temp. You deleted that temp 135gb which was win10. After deleting win10 135gb, your drive went up to 235gb space. So how does it show win10 and win11 on the screen when you deleted the win10 135gb?
The volumes Win10 and Win11 only matter when you want to do a dual boot install. For the fresh install part (where the Win10 volume is indeed called Temp), it doesn't matter at all as you just delete any partition that is already there. So two options:
1) Dual boot: you split your current Win10 partition in a smaller Win10 + new Win11, using Disk management and select that new Win11 during the installation
2) Fresh install: skip the splitting part, boot straight away from the USB drive and delete every partition which was there
You don't need to do both, they are two separate things.
Huh? I know how to do a fresh install, but your video says "dual boot" and not fresh install. For fresh install, of course you deleted all partitions. If someone deletes all partitions and do what you showed them, then they could lose everything because you told them. If the title of the video says dual boot, then I expect to see a demo how to do a dual boot.
