I use a current ISO, build 26100.2894. If I choose option 2, does the created ISO work on both a BIOS- and a UEFI-system? Or do I have to create two separate ISOs, one for UEFI and one for a BIOS system?
Upgrading from Win10.0.19045 to Win11 26100.2033.241004 one UEFI other BIOS system using 2a+2b and online upgrade enabler tested on 2 computers... Results: Upgraded, no issues.
I am testing this script (many thanks to all contributors!), but am confused by the tutorial for online upgrade scenario's in the 2nd post of this thread. I have often read that upgrading Windows 11 to a newer feature update on unsupported hardware is not possible using Windows Update and that an iso needs to be used to achieve that. However, in this tutorial Windows 11 is upgraded via Windows Update, after changing appraiserres.dll. Am I misunderstanding something or is such an upgrade via Windows Update only possible with an Insider Preview build (which was used for the tutorial)? I have searched this thread and forum, but not found an answer.
I had an odd one today. Did another upgrade on an older UEFI system from win10 as before to win11....no matter what I did using the exact same method which worked previously...it would not open the radio button for keeping personal files and apps. Finally, after many attempts, the ONLY thing that worked was to use your upgrade matrix fix tool. Then and only then could I create an update while keeping personal files and apps. Any idea off the cuff why this occurred on this one computer? All computers that I've updated were 4th-6th gen CPU's...so not all that old..just no TPM and unsupported CPU's.
This is not related to a boot or upgrade fix to circumvent the windows 11 system requirements. Your problem is most likely related to the unsupported upgrade path, you can check this tool and information: UpgradeMatrix.xml FiX Tool (Very Beta)
First, great work @Enthousiast and @abbodi1406 for the scripts. I don't know why, this is a first. Used the tool 2 & 3 option with latest ISO 26100.3037 and it won't keep software. tried the MediaCreationTool.bat with a 23H2 version and it won't launch. Got an idea ? Thanks.
I know I'm looking far into the future, but when 25H2 comes out, do you think an pc where we installed 24h2 on (unsupported pc) will upgrade, via Windows Update, to 25H2 if we run the BAU AveYo script? in theory of course, who knows what ms will implement to block upgrades.
I performed an In-place upgrade using latest Win 11 24H2 iso using your tool and it worked "perfectly" on my intel i5-6600 3.0Ghz with 4-cores. Good job. Fancy having to spend thousands of dollars on a new computer when Win 11 runs perfectly fine on a 10-year-old hardware. Mind boggling.
