Thank you so much for this video! Very very clear, and easy to follow. I have upgraded three laptops following your steps. Two of them, A Vaio (i5, 10 years old!) & an SP3, did not have the required stuff to upgrade to W11. Two of them (SP3 and an XPS13) was stuck in the dev channel and was due to expire at the end of October. All three were upgraded a couple of days ago, I was able to download and install all available windows update after the upgrade to W11, and all three are running smoothly so far. Touchwood! Great video; I wish you the best in whatever you do.
Thanks - your nice simple process got me a working Win 11 running in VirtualBox. From what I see I don't want to put Win 11 on a real PC for some time.
Hey dude thanks for the tip. It is working well on my seven year old PC with an i5 intel chip. I followed all you instructions and everything is working so perfect and the updates is successful. Again, thanks I am happy with windows 11
Thanks a lot. It worked perfectly fine after watching and trying tons of videos. I wish I would have seen this video in the beginning so I would not have wasted so much of time and not waited this long. thanks again.
Many thanks James. It didn't work for me on a clean install. It kept going back to the start page. However it worked fine on an upgrade. Maybe I did something wrong. But nevertheless it is working fine now. To be honest I only want to try Win 11 to see if it's worth buying a new PC and so far I'm quite impressed with it and no doubt in the future I will buy a new one Once again thank you☺
I used the media creation tool to make a Win10 USB since i already have win 11 on a disc and that file is Wim instead of ESD and over 4 gig so i used Command promt "DISM" to convert that WIM index "Enterprise" to ESD and it worked like a charm Thank you!
Portability is the programmer"s word for describing this issue. Downward portable would be easy. A function to detect what CPU is being used, and then run the downward compatible functions for that processor. 4th, 5th & 6rth generation Intel CPUs are not supported when they did not care to put in those functions to make their Windows 11 downward portable. means the disk read error. Retry and you can get the executable program to read.
Interesting way to do it thank you. I edited some of the source files in Notepad to get it to run on my tosh C55. Also Windows 11 has updated w no problems
@@BrueComputing im sure you know about IT then I do I was just following another video on the Internet. idk why Microsoft has to make it difficult on people who don't update their hardware every two years. You'd think they would make a Windows 11 that pretty much any computer can run, then again It does their just telling people it won't
I would guess because actually a lot of the cost for them is in support and testing - which will be a huge cost with each release. If you write off hardware as "Unsupported" you can remove it from your testing matrix and get less complaints about performance from people using older, underpowered, hardware.
@@BrueComputing true but if it's so expensive why give away free upgrades. What I mean is obviously their not worried about the money. Look how much they invested in Xbox
Because upgrades are a tiny market vs. new PC sales, and they are targeting app store revenue and Microsoft 365 subscriptions over upgrade license sales.

My 2700X uses the same motherboard and shows the same results in HWInfo my 3900X system uses X570 board and of course is supported shows the same results.

I have downloaded windows 11 iso from microsoft. No checks error occured while installing via usb on an unsupported machine. I think microsoft removed the check on setup.
Have one of the CPU:S thats blacklisted for now. I'm runing dual-boot since last year and therefore I did not risk anything like others can do if you install it on your one and only drive. However this workaround was fine and I also manage to update some drivers in windows update. Have now Win 10 and Win 11 just in case Win 11 version will crash down.
I have an unsupported AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and the install worked well. However, the “Windows Security” option in Settings doesn’t work. Selecting that will freeze the Settings window. I guess it’s something to do with the security settings in the CPU clashing with Windows, hence not being supported. Other than that, the install worked fine.
Experienced this on a system as well. Found you can resolve it with an 'in-place upgrade' - extract the Windows 11 ISO, go into sources and delete the appraiserres.dll file, then run the setup.exe. This will install Windows 11 in-place again and repair the Windows Defender. Interesting as this DIDN'T work on my test system to install Windows 11 from 10, but does work in 11.
Interesting video. It got me on the right track to install Windows 11 on a Lenovo R61e. However, the Windows 11 iso you mention has the larger install.wim which won't fit on a FAT32 USB flash drive (fit is the wrong word, there is a 4GB limit on FAT32, so Windows gives you an incorrect message but still won't copy the file). However, when I made a USB install for Windows 11 and copied the install.esd file over the one on the Windows 10 disk, all was well.
Great stuff bro come here and give it a like and give thousands of thanks after successfully installing windows 11 on my Xeon e5 gotta love this new OS
That's fine, so long as the drive is formatted to take the larger file. Alternatively download with Windows 11 Media Creation Tool and you'll get an ISO image with the smaller ESD.
That works if the TPM is the only issue I believe - not sure it'll work if the CPU is unsupported. A compatible version of Rufus wasn't available when the video was posted.
I have watched the video a few times but not tried the install. Can you confirm that you use the W10 files but replace "install.esd with the install.esd from W11 files?" It just seems strange to me that you are using all the W10 files apart from "install.esd" from W11. Is that correct or should it be the other way around using all the W11 files apart from W10 install.esd. Sorry to sound a bit dim, what I am trying to do is make an install ISO with changes already made and burn to disc. Thanks for any comment. EDITED: I see it now the install.esd is W11 the file size is very large (3.5 GB(3,755,672,306 bytes)
This is correct, install.wim/install.esd is the 'image' of Windows - you're using the Windows 10 installer to write the Windows 11 image on to the machine using it doesn't check the system meets requirements.
This is correct, install.wim/install.esd is the 'image' of Windows - you're using the Windows 10 installer to write the Windows 11 image on to the machine using it doesn't check the system meets requirements.
The Windows11 media creation tool created a FAT32 partition. When copying the install.wim file from the Win11 ISO, there wasn't enough room on the Stick, despite its 16GB size. I used the registry hack method from the Win11 media creation disk instead, and that worked OK. Machine is HP-Z800 dual Xeon, about 12 years old.
I have an error every time I open the Windows 11 Setup File saying this: "The file autorun.dll could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue." Can you help me fix it?
This is very enlightening, I have a Toshiba laptop with Intel® Core™ m5-6Y54 Processor which is currently not supported, do you think it will work well with windows 11 if I follow your guide to install?
Only thing not supported is my processor- Updated motherboard Bios to get TPM 2.0. Had to convert Windows Bios to UEFI to turn on Secure Boot and Buy a fricken ASUS TPM Module on EBAY. My motherboard had the TPM connector but No TPM Module. What worked was You Just extract windows 11 to a folder on desktop using Winwar. Go to Sources folder in windows 11 and look for"Setup" click on that. It bypasses the Processor check.Problem? No Upgrade.You have to do a clean Install and reinstall your software.
Assuming the hardware is compatible (eg. needs to be a 64-bit CPU) and drivers are available. Performance might be poor on some Windows 7 machines though.
@@CesareVesdani 2001 - no. No CPUs that old would support 64-bit. No system from 2014 would ship with Windows XP though, Microsoft stopped selling new licenses for XP in 2008. It is unlikely any system which shipped with Windows XP would run Windows 11, and if it does performance would be dire.
I thought you had to do some sort of trick (go to command prompt, or something) in order to bypass MS sign-up. Does this "hack" also bypass that? Thanks.
Another tip:if you don't have USB or you're doing this on your own pc and not others then all you have to do is download windows 10 and 11 iso.Extract the windows 10 iso then go to sources and delete install.wim and mount windows 11 iso then go to sources there and copy the install.wim there then paste it on windows 10 sources file and then click setup you will see windows 10 like setup but it's windows 11 bring installed
for some reason windows will not allow me to change the name of the install file.If I right click on the file rename does not appear as an option and F2 does nor work.Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks for the great info, but can you use this procedure to upgrade your existing Windows 10 to Windows 11 and keep all your existing data or is this just for a fresh new install?
If you clean install it then you won't keep data and apps. I have a video on how to do an upgrade install here: ruclips.net/video/57yI6TMgIFI/видео.html
I upgrade my unsupported laptop and works fine. Updates are coming normally until now. Now the 1 million question: I have a tablet device 2 in 1 with windows 10 32 bit. I found that is 64 bit compatible, and has only 2 GB of ram. So is it risky to upgrade this device? What is your suggestion?
Thanks for this. One thing though, it doesn't seem to give the option to choose the version of Windows 11 as in your video - it just automatically installs HOME. Is there a way to force selection or is this as a result of the default ISO available from Microsoft in 2023? Thanks.
I was having an issue with Win10 update, one of them wouldn't install, no matter what I tried (and I tried EVERYTHING), so I went ahead and installed Win11 and everything went fine. It was quick and easy, no issues. But I did an upgrade, not a clean install. I'm sure I will do a clean install eventually if I feel the system is bogging down.
I did this few weeks ago and it skipped win activation but now that I did it again today, the activation skip didnt work anymore, did I do something wrong or they have fixed that?
my laptop supports windows 11 but when i try to update to windows 11... at the end it shows your pc ran into problem and restarts with previous windows 10.. how can i solve it..please help
Do i need to delete the file you change in windows 10 at usb stick or just rename it then copy same file in windows 11 (ISO) and just paste it to windows 10 in usb stick. Thanks for response in the future ☺
Either, you can delete or rename it. If you have a small USB stick you may need to delete it to free up enough space. If you want to be able to switch between installing 10 or 11 quickly then rename it.
Why so much warning in event viewer and also one error is frequent that is netwb64 dual ac wireless connection 3160.How to remove that errror please help regarding this
@@BrueComputing sounds like I should just hold off for my main system to have the required hardware, and only experiment with this on another system for now
Am I missing something? I don't see an ESD file, but I see a WIM file that is approximately as large. Did they change this since this video was done a month ago? Nevermind, I think its because I downloaded the 11 ISO nearly a month before your video, and was trying to use that one. It was the official version, but apparently its different.
The ISO is multi-version and contains a WIM file which is too large to copy to the FAT32 formatted USB stick. Windows 11 Media Creation Tool downloads a single-version (Home, Pro, etc) ISO image with a smaller ESD file.
@@BrueComputing Well, I had figured it out but thanks. I just re-downloaded the image using the tool. Apparently I originally downloaded the image using the ISO option a couple months back. lol
Actually is it safe to upgrade or install windows 11 on an unsupported pc? cuz Microsoft said that if you do, then you'll might damage your hardware and you won't receive any updates or some update might damage the PC as well it's kinda scary.
Saying it might damage your machine is largely nonsense, they are just covering their backs. Cumulative and Security updates install just fine, Feature updates may require some fiddling.
so you replaced the install.esd on windoows 10 usb drive with that of install.esd of windows 11 and installed using usb..one doubt,have you deleted the windows 10's install.esd from pendrive after copying install.esd from windows 11?
For me I just downloaded both windows 11 and 10.. copy paste the install file from windows 11 to 10 folder and deleted the windows 10 install.esd file and run the set-up from windows 10 folder and disable update then I’m good.. no usb drive or restart… The restart is automatic for me during installation
Should get them for as long as the 21H2 build is supported - so until October 2024 I believe. Feature updates will probably require additional fiddling to install.
@Chris Microsoft allowed updates on Windows 10 even for pirated copies - I expect they'll allow them for Windows 11 on unsupported systems. Its not in their interest for PCs to be left unpatched and creating security vulnerabilities inside networks. Feature Updates may require some fiddling though.
The setup tool is the Windows 10 installer, but will show it is installing Windows 11 if you've removed the original install.wim/install.esd file and replaced it with the Windows 11 one.
Microsoft says if we install windows 11 to unsupported pc's and laptops, they won't gets future bugs fix updates and no more cumulative updates? Is this real or fake?
With this method mine got update i could not believe it cos I've installed it before but it wasn't getting update but for this time believe me it works perfectly.......
Looked at this here: ruclips.net/video/k0WCiOE8CAY/видео.html Mine have been receiving updates and drivers without issue - feature updates in future may require workarounds however.
Hi! But how do you find the drivers? For example, I have an old laptop, an HP 8470p with an 3820qm cpu, but the latest drivers support for are for windows 10.Will somehow windows 11 find all the drivers for it? I want to use windows 11, because I have heard that you can use android program directly on it, which is what I am searching. I tried android emulators on windows 10, but they just do not work right.Thank you in advance.I hope you can answer.
Hi, thanks for this video, but this didn't work for me on a 5 year old PC with an i7 Intel chip and Asus Maximus VIII motherboard. It was going well until the first reboot in the process, then the upgrade stopped and reverted back to Windows 10 and I got the following error: installation failed in safe_os phase with an error during apply_image operation. I updated my drivers as I see that sometimes causes this error, but it still failed with the same error. Any ideas? Or is my PC truly unsupported?
That's a failure of the update process, would probably fail in the same way if you did an in-place upgrade of Windows 10 as well. A chkdsk /f c: and sfc /scannow can sometimes resolve this if it is caused by some file system corruption.
The new version containsan "install.wim" a package of all the editions not an "install.esd ". Any help? I am currently extracting the pro version using DISM as an esd file. Will report if it worked.
@@Shahroze_ Yes, But I would recommend you to download both the Win 10 and 11 files then copying the 'install.wim' file in win 11 iso to win 10 iso. Don't forget to delete the install.wim or esd file that was inside win 10 iso. Ignore this method if you find it complicated. But, this is sure to work. ( and sorry if i just repeated what was said in the vdo as I forgot what they said here.
I have done everything you have said on the video but when I go to install it only shows windows 10 about 6 different versions no windows 11 am I doing something wrong ?
@@BrueComputing hi yeah I did it was the esd file ….I then deleted the win 10 one and it installed but it didn’t give me a choice in what version I could put on
Did you download Windows 11 with the Media Creation Tool? You can use the WIM file, but if the USB drive is FAT32 formatted (which the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool does do) then it'll be over the 4GB file size limit.
My pc keeps crashing in the middle of the installation and undo all the progress (i'm not running it on a weak pc or anything mine has a 7th gen i7 and and nvidia geforce mx130 ) any ideas on why this keeps happening to me ??
Are there any unnecessary devices plugged in, like USB printers? I have seen Windows 10 feature updates do the same thing (crash in the middle, undo everything) when it found some random device like that for which it did not have a driver. Unplug any extra devices, then run the setup and see if it works. If it does, you can always go back and install that device after Windows 11 setup is complete.
Just tested on the system I used for the video as its been off for the past few days, and Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5006674) downloaded and installed without issue. Feature updates may require additional workarounds.

Also you can download latest rufus while creating bootable usb just select extended instalation no TPM option
That works if the TPM is the only issue I believe - not sure it'll work if the CPU is unsupported.
A compatible version of Rufus wasn't available when the video was posted.
This basically, robots solving
I'M NOT A ROBOT security check
😁
🤣
I have watched the video a few times but not tried the install.
Can you confirm that you use the W10 files but replace "install.esd with the install.esd from W11 files?"
It just seems strange to me that you are using all the W10 files apart from "install.esd" from W11.
Is that correct or should it be the other way around using all the W11 files apart from W10 install.esd.
Sorry to sound a bit dim, what I am trying to do is make an install ISO with changes already made and burn to disc.
Thanks for any comment.
EDITED:
I see it now the install.esd is W11 the file size is very large (3.5 GB(3,755,672,306 bytes)
This is correct, install.wim/install.esd is the 'image' of Windows - you're using the Windows 10 installer to write the Windows 11 image on to the machine using it doesn't check the system meets requirements.

The Windows11 media creation tool created a FAT32 partition. When copying the install.wim file from the Win11 ISO, there wasn't enough room on the Stick, despite its 16GB size.
I used the registry hack method from the Win11 media creation disk instead, and that worked OK. Machine is HP-Z800 dual Xeon, about 12 years old.
Thank you so much! It worked
You're welcome!
Isn't the file install.esd10 now useless and we can delete it so it won't use all that space on the usb stick?
Yes - I kept it for testing purposes, but you can just delete it.
I have an error every time I open the Windows 11 Setup File saying this: "The file autorun.dll could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue." Can you help me fix it?
This is very enlightening, I have a Toshiba laptop with Intel® Core™ m5-6Y54 Processor which is currently not supported, do you think it will work well with windows 11 if I follow your guide to install?
It should do, yes.
@@BrueComputing thank you I'll try it out👌
Only thing not supported is my processor-
Updated motherboard Bios to get TPM 2.0.
Had to convert Windows Bios to UEFI to turn on Secure Boot and Buy a fricken ASUS TPM Module on EBAY. My motherboard had the TPM connector but No TPM Module.
What worked was You Just extract windows 11 to a folder on desktop using Winwar.
Go to Sources folder in windows 11 and look for"Setup" click on that.
It bypasses the Processor check.Problem? No Upgrade.You have to do a clean Install and reinstall your software.
It does not work. The install.esd file from Windows 11 iso is too big to be added to the windows 10 iso
Is it possible to make a clean install of Windows 11 on a Windows 7 computer?
Assuming the hardware is compatible (eg. needs to be a 64-bit CPU) and drivers are available. Performance might be poor on some Windows 7 machines though.
@@BrueComputing Would it be possible to install Windows 11 on Windows XP computers from between 2001 to 2014?
@@CesareVesdani 2001 - no. No CPUs that old would support 64-bit. No system from 2014 would ship with Windows XP though, Microsoft stopped selling new licenses for XP in 2008.
It is unlikely any system which shipped with Windows XP would run Windows 11, and if it does performance would be dire.
I thought you had to do some sort of trick (go to command prompt, or something) in order to bypass MS sign-up. Does this "hack" also bypass that? Thanks.
What about the PC's with windows 10 preinstalled.Is there a way to upgrade to windows 11 from a pc with windows 10 licence(OEM) ?
It should recognise the Windows 10 license in firmware and not ask for one when installing. It will activate against that.
@@BrueComputing ok
Another tip:if you don't have USB or you're doing this on your own pc and not others then all you have to do is download windows 10 and 11 iso.Extract the windows 10 iso then go to sources and delete install.wim and mount windows 11 iso then go to sources there and copy the install.wim there then paste it on windows 10 sources file and then click setup you will see windows 10 like setup but it's windows 11 bring installed
for some reason windows will not allow me to change the name of the install file.If I right click on the file rename does not appear as an option and F2 does nor work.Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks for the great info, but can you use this procedure to upgrade your existing Windows 10 to Windows 11 and keep all your existing data or is this just for a fresh new install?
Yes you can!
I have a video showing how to do this here: ruclips.net/video/57yI6TMgIFI/видео.html
Thanks so much!!
You're welcome!
Can I have a question, I just installed Windows 11 today. What if you reset your pc after installing Windows 11? Will I go back to Windows 10?
The built in Reset in Windows 11 will reinstall Windows 11.
Great video. Have a question. Sorry it been asked. If l install window 11 will l lose my old datas and games on window 10. Thanks
If you clean install it then you won't keep data and apps.
I have a video on how to do an upgrade install here: ruclips.net/video/57yI6TMgIFI/видео.html
Big THANKS For this Man!!! 💖🙏
My pleasure!!
before copy windows 11 'install.esd' to USB stick what if i delete the 'install.esd' of windows 10 ?
That's fine.
I upgrade my unsupported laptop and works fine. Updates are coming normally until now.
Now the 1 million question: I have a tablet device 2 in 1 with windows 10 32 bit. I found that is 64 bit compatible, and has only 2 GB of ram. So is it risky to upgrade this device? What is your suggestion?
Your PC should have at least 4GB of RAM to be able to run Windows 11
The Windows 10 installer will let it install, but performance might be pretty miserable with 2GB.
how did you update your device
Thanks for this. One thing though, it doesn't seem to give the option to choose the version of Windows 11 as in your video - it just automatically installs HOME. Is there a way to force selection or is this as a result of the default ISO available from Microsoft in 2023? Thanks.
You are probably doing it wrong, because it gives you multiple options to choose from...
I was having an issue with Win10 update, one of them wouldn't install, no matter what I tried (and I tried EVERYTHING), so I went ahead and installed Win11 and everything went fine. It was quick and easy, no issues. But I did an upgrade, not a clean install. I'm sure I will do a clean install eventually if I feel the system is bogging down.
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks working, no problems
Good to hear!
I did this few weeks ago and it skipped win activation but now that I did it again today, the activation skip didnt work anymore, did I do something wrong or they have fixed that?
my laptop supports windows 11 but when i try to update to windows 11... at the end it shows your pc ran into problem and restarts with previous windows 10.. how can i solve it..please help
Do i need to delete the file you change in windows 10 at usb stick or just rename it then copy same file in windows 11 (ISO) and just paste it to windows 10 in usb stick. Thanks for response in the future ☺
Either, you can delete or rename it. If you have a small USB stick you may need to delete it to free up enough space. If you want to be able to switch between installing 10 or 11 quickly then rename it.
I appreciate much your kindly response. Thanks a lot
Thank to You Sir
You Are Really make a Greate Video ..
Jio Sir Ji keep It up....
So nice of you
Why so much warning in event viewer and also one error is frequent that is netwb64 dual ac wireless connection 3160.How to remove that errror please help regarding this
how about if the processor can't support to run windows 11 is it compatible to run windows 11 if i'm going to do this installation?
Will this work if you choose to do an inplace upgrade to? or does it has to be a clean install?
Have a guide to doing an upgrade here: ruclips.net/video/57yI6TMgIFI/видео.html
Bigger question, does Windows Update for Windows 11 work after this is done? And, will it continue to work?
It has on my test system - it receives security and cumulative updates without issue.
Feature updates may require workarounds.
@@BrueComputing sounds like I should just hold off for my main system to have the required hardware, and only experiment with this on another system for now
Am I missing something? I don't see an ESD file, but I see a WIM file that is approximately as large. Did they change this since this video was done a month ago?
Nevermind, I think its because I downloaded the 11 ISO nearly a month before your video, and was trying to use that one. It was the official version, but apparently its different.
The ISO is multi-version and contains a WIM file which is too large to copy to the FAT32 formatted USB stick. Windows 11 Media Creation Tool downloads a single-version (Home, Pro, etc) ISO image with a smaller ESD file.
@@BrueComputing Well, I had figured it out but thanks. I just re-downloaded the image using the tool. Apparently I originally downloaded the image using the ISO option a couple months back. lol
Good stuff - hope it all works for you.
Do you need to delete the install.esd10 file on the windows 10 installer after copying the new windows 11 install.esd over or just leave it in place?
Can delete it - I just renamed it as I was using the same stick for testing Windows 10 and 11.
Actually is it safe to upgrade or install windows 11 on an unsupported pc? cuz Microsoft said that if you do, then you'll might damage your hardware and you won't receive any updates or some update might damage the PC as well it's kinda scary.
Saying it might damage your machine is largely nonsense, they are just covering their backs.
Cumulative and Security updates install just fine, Feature updates may require some fiddling.
@@BrueComputing thx for the information bro
so you replaced the install.esd on windoows 10 usb drive with that of install.esd of windows 11 and installed using usb..one doubt,have you deleted the windows 10's install.esd from pendrive after copying install.esd from windows 11?
For me I just downloaded both windows 11 and 10.. copy paste the install file from windows 11 to 10 folder and deleted the windows 10 install.esd file and run the set-up from windows 10 folder and disable update then I’m good.. no usb drive or restart… The restart is automatic for me during installation
November 6, 2021
Good to hear!
Dosen't work anymore, did everyting in video, still got reqirement check at the installation process.
the major question is how many updates will we actually get? and if you get a service pack comes through and then you get a fail restart??
Should get them for as long as the 21H2 build is supported - so until October 2024 I believe. Feature updates will probably require additional fiddling to install.
@Chris Microsoft allowed updates on Windows 10 even for pirated copies - I expect they'll allow them for Windows 11 on unsupported systems. Its not in their interest for PCs to be left unpatched and creating security vulnerabilities inside networks.
Feature Updates may require some fiddling though.
is it fine to just replace that install.esd on the usb instead of renaming it?
Yes, I just renamed it for convenience.
This didn't work for me... My USB still takes me to windows 10 setup despite following all the steps you have mentioned. Any suggestions?
The setup tool is the Windows 10 installer, but will show it is installing Windows 11 if you've removed the original install.wim/install.esd file and replaced it with the Windows 11 one.
My Windows 11 Iso has a file install.wim instead, is it the same?
That's fine.
Microsoft says if we install windows 11 to unsupported pc's and laptops, they won't gets future bugs fix updates and no more cumulative updates? Is this real or fake?
With this method mine got update i could not believe it cos I've installed it before but it wasn't getting update but for this time believe me it works perfectly.......
Looked at this here: ruclips.net/video/k0WCiOE8CAY/видео.html
Mine have been receiving updates and drivers without issue - feature updates in future may require workarounds however.
in this way upgrading to windows 11, windows can get the upgrade from Microsoft when they send them in the future????
Cumulative and Security updates come through just fine - Feature updates may require further workarounds.
why not take the .WIM instead of the .ESD and split it in 2 to be under 4gb, saw other videos doing that, is any of superior...????
Hi! But how do you find the drivers? For example, I have an old laptop, an HP 8470p with an 3820qm cpu, but the latest drivers support for are for windows 10.Will somehow windows 11 find all the drivers for it? I want to use windows 11, because I have heard that you can use android program directly on it, which is what I am searching. I tried android emulators on windows 10, but they just do not work right.Thank you in advance.I hope you can answer.
Hi, thanks for this video, but this didn't work for me on a 5 year old PC with an i7 Intel chip and Asus Maximus VIII motherboard. It was going well until the first reboot in the process, then the upgrade stopped and reverted back to Windows 10 and I got the following error: installation failed in safe_os phase with an error during apply_image operation. I updated my drivers as I see that sometimes causes this error, but it still failed with the same error. Any ideas? Or is my PC truly unsupported?
That's a failure of the update process, would probably fail in the same way if you did an in-place upgrade of Windows 10 as well. A chkdsk /f c: and sfc /scannow can sometimes resolve this if it is caused by some file system corruption.
Worked for me. Just took the dll and deleted tpm, wording and it installed clean after that
I want to know, after the installation, you will still get updates from Microsoft
Yes: ruclips.net/video/k0WCiOE8CAY/видео.html
I'm planning on upgrading my ryzen 5 2400 laptop on Win11. Won't this method mess with the regular windows updates?
how about the update? would it update without any problems?
The new version containsan "install.wim" a package of all the editions not an "install.esd ". Any help? I am currently extracting the pro version using DISM as an esd file. Will report if it worked.
Did it?
@@Shahroze_ Yes, But I would recommend you to download both the Win 10 and 11 files then copying the 'install.wim' file in win 11 iso to win 10 iso. Don't forget to delete the install.wim or esd file that was inside win 10 iso. Ignore this method if you find it complicated. But, this is sure to work. ( and sorry if i just repeated what was said in the vdo as I forgot what they said here.
I have done everything you have said on the video but when I go to install it only shows windows 10 about 6 different versions no windows 11 am I doing something wrong ?
Sounds like you've not deleted/renamed the Windows 10 install.esd or install.wim file
@@BrueComputing hi yeah I did it was the esd file ….I then deleted the win 10 one and it installed but it didn’t give me a choice in what version I could put on
can we get windows 11 update when we try these steps?
Yes: ruclips.net/video/k0WCiOE8CAY/видео.html
I have few questions bro.?
Is that okay if the both 'install.esd'?
we started as win10 installation, then installed win11.? Correct?? Pls advise!
win 11 has install.wim, and no install.esd to copy to the win 10 boot install usb drive. Advice? Thanks for your work!
Did you download Windows 11 with the Media Creation Tool?
You can use the WIM file, but if the USB drive is FAT32 formatted (which the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool does do) then it'll be over the 4GB file size limit.
Sorry, my mistake, I copied the wrong install.esd to the boot usb drive. It worked when I did it right! RP
My pc keeps crashing in the middle of the installation and undo all the progress (i'm not running it on a weak pc or anything mine has a 7th gen i7 and and nvidia geforce mx130 ) any ideas on why this keeps happening to me ??
Are there any unnecessary devices plugged in, like USB printers? I have seen Windows 10 feature updates do the same thing (crash in the middle, undo everything) when it found some random device like that for which it did not have a driver. Unplug any extra devices, then run the setup and see if it works. If it does, you can always go back and install that device after Windows 11 setup is complete.
But you renamed the ESD file from the usb that u maked it with the media creation.i can't do that.
You are a Life saver man
keep it up
Glad it helped!
Will I do some steps as well if there are new updates for windows 11?
Just tested on the system I used for the video as its been off for the past few days, and Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5006674) downloaded and installed without issue.
Feature updates may require additional workarounds.
