Rufus creates a bootable USB, for upgrades you don't need a bootable USB, you only need to mount the fixed ISO and run setup.exe, show us that step, didn't we discuss this already?
I know but for me upgrade was broken from 2h23 I had to to boot method with rufus to get to 2h24 now I tried have setup log error and I am trying to see if i can fix it but so far none help, might open new topic with setup upgrade error as looks like they disabled any other way to upgrade
Nothing is removed, for the 10000th time, tell us step by step what you are doing. Because none of it is actually upgrading...
In-Place Upgrade method where an ISO just has to be burned somewhere such as DVD / external HDD / external SSD or pendrive and run the setup from the inside Windows itself .. RUFUS is used for 100% clean-setup via booting up also make sure your hardware meets the correct requirement such as TPM bla bla bla .. also you can use RUFUS method to "repair" and not upgrading an OS, I suppose there should be some mistake at your end .. to ease just list how did you upgraded
And then why boot from rufus o your tool from USB (bios boot) refuse to start upgrade process? I done that with RTM 2H24 and now I can not even start with 2H25 Setup from windows just crash for me and rollback and I can not fix it yet as all I tried I get rolle back
best to do is ignore him from now on and proceed with giving support to members who actually listen, read and use their brain. this guy is hopeless
For the last time, you can NOT start an Upgrade when booting from installation media. The Windows you want to upgrade must be running, so, starting Setup.exe from inside your running Windows is your only option. The boot Upgrade is not possible anymore, for many years now. Period.
Tried it, fixed ISO using option 1.... Nope, still the same thing, would only allow me to save nothing... Guess my system is screwed, huh?
My system is from 2015 i had more than few issue in past like no recovery console then bunch of old BDCD entries as ram disk and what not, I cleaned all but still no go, upgrade to fail need like 2h so hard to test all I might even try repair with current updated 2h24 from bios boot as that was only that worked last time, but I am clear that CLEAN install maybe only option left now I tried deleting HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade and HKLM:\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade also WinSetupMon.sys even I have none in my windows and few more issue as I already tried rufus usb with disabled check
