Most hardware is supported, when not then setup will show you yours isn't and then you can use option 2a.
How to upgrade 23H2 to 24H2 while keeping progs and settings? Which option of the tool to use to achieve that? Thanks for helping out
The tool bypasses the new windows 11 system requirments, when the usual upgrade path is followed then all options should be available but when not, check this beta (but working) tool: UpgradeMatrix.xml FiX Tool (Very Beta) In many scenarios only the registry editionid change is needed, check the OP for the link to it!

Can AIO 2b (option 3) be used to upgrade from W10 22H2 to w11 24H2 via Windows Update (ie not an inplace update with a w11 ISO)?
Once more, this tool is not handling the online/offline account stuff. And all this is not needed for all other SKUs except Home(sl). And the instructions are a bit more complicated then just pressing SHIFT+F10 and entering oobe\bypassnro. ps, about the updating during OOBE (when connected): https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1858690
My reply was to the 2 removed posts about adding the new online/offline account method, my reply to them isn't removed.
Is this file "autorun.dll" meant for people with a built-in Windows Key into the BIOS? Because I still get the option at the Windows 11 setup to choose the Edition when a Windows 10 Home edition is installed.
To upgrade a PC with an unsupported Intel I3 CPU from W10 22h2 to W11 24H2, I only apllied as admin Code: Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup" /f /v "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" from line 497 of the upgrade kit and executed setup.exe on an unmodified ISO image.
The appraiseres dll file should not be needed when using the hwreqchk.dll file or else the hwreqchk.dll file would be pointless.
