Hi I have an old PC that's been running Win10 Enterprise 22H2. I've made use of MAS to activate ESU. Is it possible to upgrade to a version of Win11 without having to wipe the system? Which version of Win11 is compatible with older hardware?
Yes, the official upgradepath to the same build or higher normal Enterprise should work* With a fixed ISO all will install on older systems but IoT Enterprise and IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC don't enforce the new system requirements. *why not moving to IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC, this one still is supported till 2032 without any fixes. For unsupported upgradepaths check here: UpgradeMatrix.xml FiX Tool (Very Beta)
Current Version: So I would just have to find the correct version from the ESD repo, download it, then use the Win 11 Boot and Upgrade Fix Kit on the ISO before I add it to a pendrive and upgrade? Or you recommend moving to IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC which will not require any fixes, i'll just have to get the ESD and create an ISO? Since this is a major OS update I believe it's best to go for IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC version, are there any major differences? Will this work without fixes? Apologies if this is repetitive for you
