    📌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: ruclips.net/video/s29UUK9ITt4/видео.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!

    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.

    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

      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!

    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.

      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.

    Hi guys...I use high end recording software, (CuBase) and lots of virtual instruments (miroslav Philharmonic, Addictive Drums etc) when you say it keeps the apps and files do you mean they will just continue as normal once upgraded? I would hate to do this only to have to re install everything again, which, to be fair, is a pain...any advice will be gratefully accepted...many thanks in advance.

    Why do i need Rufus for 32-bit Windows when i can't install Windows 11 on a 32-bit computer?
    I never recommend to go from Windows 10 to 11 by doing an upgrade. If you have running Windows 10 for a couple of years it is time for a fresh install anyway, so it is better to wipe the drive and install a complete new fresh Windows 11. You can either use Rufus or Ventoy (both will make it possible to install on computers that won't support Windows 11).

    • @memstechtips
      @memstechtips  17 дней назад

      Because Windows 11 doesn't have a 32-bit version and can't be installed on 32-bit machines, I completely disregarded it during this video. I understand how it can be a bit click-baity, but hey, this is RUclips, that's how it works. I agree with you, clean install will always be better, but not everyone has to knowledge to do that, this guide is for them as well.
