That actually ls option 2 of the subject of this thread. The tool works for all scenarios, those who encounter problems with upgrading have already existing file corruptions.
v5.0 kit worked perfectly (I upgraded in-place/existing OS from 23H2), thank you very much for this tool!
didn`t work for me, win 11 pro 23h2 v22631.4249 i`ve tried an option 1 and 2b+2a , and reg fixes from rufus thread... after starting setup .. nothing happens, some hdd activity and no progress on screen sources\setupprep.exe /product server didnt work as well
@Enthousiast I have a question about the AIO 1 method. You said that it 'replaces ISO & boot.wim "inf\setup.cfg" with one from Server 2022/2025 ISO'. I took a peak inside boot.win and I can't find "inf\setup.cfg". Where is it located?
Same problem on my laptop with an Intel i5 7500 (has SSE4.2 & POPCNT) Even with the latest ISO, setup doesn't launch. Even with "/product server"
I would like to inform you that thanks to this wonderful utility, I managed to easily update Win11 Pro 23H2 (which was modified by various tweakers) to version 24H2 without using an ISO image. The requirements of this update that I needed to bypass were CPU and TPM. I did it with the following combination: Forcing the feature update through Windows Update using the “Group Policy Editor”; “AIO 2b: Current OS Registry” method. At first, I tried only the Group Policy Editor, as my previous upgrade from 22H2 to 23H2 was accomplished this way. But when I tried to upgrade to 24H2 in the same way, after a while I was shown a separate white window that reported artificial restrictions “unsupported CPU and no TPM”. I hope this information will be useful to someone. ⚠ WARNING▶ Pay attention to the fact that your CPU must have the “SSE4.2” instruction for the 24H2 update to be successfully installed in the way described above. The first CPUs that received the SSE4.2 instruction started to appear in 2009-2010. To check for sure if your CPU supports SSE4.2 instructions, it will be enough to open a free utility called “CPU-Z” and check the “Instructions” line, which will list the instructions supported by your processor.
You can check with CPU-Z under 23H2. If SSE4.2 isn't listed as a feature supported by your CPU, upgrading to 24H2 will never work. There is no workaround, hard requirement.
Check with CPU-Z is useless, i'm unable to upgrade, i've already tried several times. My only hope is a way to bypass SSE4.2.
