📌IMPORTANT NOTES! If Rufus doesn't have the "Download" option, simpyl download the Windows 11 ISO file from Microsoft directly and then choose "Select" in Rufus and select the Windows 11 ISO file. If you don't know how to download the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s29UUK9ITt4.html If you can't keep all of your files and apps during the upgrade, try this! Open CMD as Admin and run the following command: dism /online /get-intl Next, have a look at the "Default system UI language" and use that when downloading the ISO file.

So I have just tried this on a 10 year old laptop as proof of concept. It was originally Win8 but has been Win 10 for many years, but did not meet the stupid specs for Win11. My main desktop PC is more powerful but equally does not meet the official specs. It does everything I need so felt no need to upgrade beyond the impending withdrawal of support next year. Windows 11 now up and running on the laptop and all went exactly as per the video! So the desktop will follow!

@jblink1150 29 дней назад

just to add that when checking the language locale, it was set at EN-GB which is not an option (why do Americans see the world as "America" and "not America"? 🙂) but I selected EN International and had no issues retaining all files and apps

@georgetillett6549 Месяц назад

I assume using a non supported CPU will leave the system exposed to the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities as this was patched on Windows 10 but not on Windows 11 as the supported CPUs have the hardware changed to eliminate this vulnerability.. Apparently rarely exploited.

Excellent instructions! Even though my desktop is very advanced the Intel processor is an i7 not on the compatible list. I went ahead and set up the virtual USB drive and downloaded the iso files into the drive per your excellent instructions. I will wait though to install as I'm unclear if Microsoft could make this Windows 11 unworkable in the future. I'm being overly cautious since this desktop is critical to my needs and work.. I did have to download the Windows 11 iso file separately on Microsoft's download page. I kept getting an error message on Rufus saying I could not download as the file wasn't allowed in my country for some strange reason. USA here. Thank you again and I subscribed.

@memstechtips 14 дней назад

@jameshinton-howard6778 14 дней назад

@@memstechtips Thanks for your reply. I noticed this morning that my VUSB drive F: which I named WIN11 was no longer there. Not sure why that is. I do remember clicking on setup yesterday but didn't go through the setup. I exited out because I didn't want to install Windows 11 yet. Perhaps that could have triggered it to disappear. There were also Windows 10 updates last night before I went to bed. UPDATE: I just went through your steps again and redid everything. It is back now.

@BrumKid Месяц назад

The way i do it is to down load window 11 and copy it to a usb drive then when i put the drive into a machine and then open Command prompt and make sure you run it as Adminstrator then this next bit depends on what your computer tells you the drive letter of the USB, just say its "E" . Now type in the command prompt "e:\setup.exe /product server" then hit enter, you will now install Windows 11 and you dont have to create a Windows account. Using what i have just shown you means you can use the USB drive over and over again.

I tried this on an old i5-4690K with Windows 10 on it. It's a machine I generally don't use. The level of Rufus I used was newer and didn't have the download dropdown option for Windows. I down loaded the Windows ISO outside of Rufus. The instructions are otherwise very good. Windows 11 works with the few programs I have installed. Windows upgrade works. I have Windows 11 23H2 Build 22631.3593 installed. It's clear that Microsoft really did not have to restrict Windows hardware. However it would not surprise me if Microsoft does something to pull the plug on this working. With more AI hardware in the pipe, I would guess Microsoft will change hardware requirements again. As a side note, StarDock's Multiplicity works.

@memstechtips Месяц назад

Thanks for your detailed explanation about your experience. Generally, if you don't have the Download option in Rufus, it's because you downloaded the portable version and not the standard version. Luckily you have advanced computer knowledge and thought to download the ISO file from the MS website and still follow the rest of the guide. Thanks again for sharing!

Hey man, love this tut and the one for the non assisted xml! I followed them to the letter, but during the install process, while rebooting, i kept being thrown into this DOS-like enviroment where it would tell me to press esc to skip some shell command or press any button, nothing worked, except for typing exit and this happened a few times, then installation when through, but when Win 11 opens, its a normal install, and whenever the computer needs to reboot, i get the same shell thing were only EXIT works to continue, any thoughts?

Hi, thanks for the video. I run a lot of music software. Do you know if licensing services such as iLok see the upgrade to Win 11 as a change of computer, or whether that kind of info is carried over onto the new OS? I will of course clone a C: backup before making any changes, but it would be handy to know. If software perceives the new OS as a different system then I would be into a long job of re authorising stuff.

@memstechtips Месяц назад

Hi there, when you upgrade using the method I show in this video it shouldn't see it as a new pc at all. Make the backup of your C: drive just incase, so you can go back. But in my experience, as long as you have the keep all files and apps setting selected, you won't have any issues.

I for one will keep Windows 10 until forced to upgrade. I tried and DO NOT LIKE Windows 11. I'm already using Linux on a 15 year old laptop...will go Linux!

@davec866 5 дней назад

I did all this and during the Windows install it still said this PC doesn’t meet the requirements for 11.

@motorexp Месяц назад

Does this circumvent the TPM, or BIOS secure boot requirement?

@memstechtips Месяц назад

Yes, Rufus removes all that.

@MrVidification 23 дня назад

Only until windows runs a major update that rechecks if you have it, but it's not an issue if you have all your docs on at least two external devices as regular backup

@StevenBrener 27 дней назад

If the hardware isn't compatible, will it be able to accept updates and patches going forward?

@memstechtips 26 дней назад

Yes normal updates will work, but you need to follow the same process as in this video to upgrade to new major versions. for example from 23H2 -> 24H2.

@Rehan-oc4mr Месяц назад

I have already installed Windows 11 21H2 in my laptop. So if I install the new version, which is 20 3H2 then all the files will be deleted or not?. which ever is in the download folder is deleted or not can you please reply? Thanks.

@memstechtips Месяц назад

If you watch the video, I show how to check your current installation's language settings, you need to select the correct language to keep all of your files and apps. During the Windows 11 Setup it will show to Keep All Files & Apps. It's all explained in the video.

@hemidemon2851 Месяц назад

Actually watch the video. All of your question is answered.

I had no arrow on Rufus on the select button. I will download the iso file and see if I can do it that way

@memstechtips Месяц назад

Yeah you can download the ISO from MS then just select it in Rufus.

what is gonna happen to already installed files and software in windows 10 not the Microsoft apps but the other software such as pyhton matlab and etc? and the settgins in other apps? are they gonna be reset?

@memstechtips 14 дней назад

As long as you have "Keep all files and apps" selected, everything will be kept exactly as it is on your Windows 10 install.

I didn't understand the part that one should use the installation version of Rufus and not the portable version. Why? Is it not supposed to do exactly the same thing both versions? Tks for the info.

@memstechtips Месяц назад

The portable version doesn't support the download of the Windows ISO, that's the only reason.

@agostinhomatos321 Месяц назад

@@memstechtips I have tested this situation, the portable version works too if the following lines are appended at the rufus.ini file - UpdateCheckInterval = 86400 ShowAdvancedFormatOptions = 1 ShowAdvancedDriveProperties = 1 I suspect that both versions are almost identical, they have the same file size, they are both not registered in windows registration files.

@rynesherman9099 13 дней назад

@memstechtips Just finished up the installation. I ended up using a flash drive and the portable version of rufus. Everything else from this method and one of CyberCPU Tech videos on using a removable flash drive were all about the same. I didn't lose anything. But now sometimes my cpu has weird spikes from 6% - 15% on and off. But everything else works fine.

So I have WIN 10; however I have read that Microsoft with discontinue updates and I think support for WIN 10 in September 2025. I have run the system check to see if I can update to WIN 11 but Microsoft tells me my computer will not run WIN 11. Are you saying that I CAN install WIN 11 and will it run properly? My PC was built in 2019.

@memstechtips Месяц назад

That means you selected the wrong language when downloading the ISO file. Run the Powershell Command again to see your installed language and then redownload the ISO file and select that language. If you have any other English version other than United States, then you need to select English International when downloading the ISO file.

@Youssefdxb2011 Месяц назад

downloading already blocked by MS, first i have downloaded in english language as per system, but once i'm on the process of installing it will delete all the apps. hence its not english language. could be international but the second attempt to download that the time it was blocked.

@memstechtips Месяц назад

That's strange, it shouldn't be blocked. You can also use a free VPN temporarily to download the ISO again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nIH3csZDbeQ.html
