Installing windows 114/8/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() It sounds as though you missed a step, from memory, last time I used Rufus and after you press the Start button there should have been a small pop-up screen with a list of options to build the boot media, one of those options was "keep user files and settings", that check box option must be selected otherwise when you build the boot media you create an installer that doesn't offer you the chance to keep your files and settings, only carry out a clean install. I had used US english version as suggested. I give up! It all went ok until I tried to run the exe to instal - the option to keep my settings and apps was not available. Is it worth it? I think so the system seems faster and more secure and oncle you get used to the style changes you can use the new options like running the Asiair app on your PC in Android mode. See here for options to change the registy for updates/upgrades, note there is a MS supported change for some systems. Last update failed and I had to do the registry changes to keep it updating. I have a Win 11 Developer Preview running on my rugged laptop and until recently it still allowed me updates even though that had an older TPM chip and processor. The CPU changes are more for options like the Android sub-system support (not sure what other options it was the Android part that I came across. I have updated my main PC anyway and made sure the new system was fully Win 11 friendly.Īs I understand it the TPM allows Windows to reduce the possibility of Ransomware type attacks affecting your system. I have had Win 11 as a previewer for a long while, it was only towards the approach of the official release thet it then stopped allowing me to update as I had an old cpu and no TPM chip. ![]() There is also talk of MS reviewing the cpu coverage too, but the longer this goes on the less likely the oldest cpu they support now will be changed. The TPM 2 security chip, that Win 11 looks, for can now be mitigated by a bios firmware update on 'some' systems. ![]() There are a few changes going on that are affecting the compatability fails/passes. Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way If you don't like it you have about ten days to return to the old OS. If everything goes OK you should end up with a computer running win 11. Start the installation and go away for five hours. Rufus will give options on how to install ie ignore CPU and TPM requirements that a regular install would check first and stop win 11 from installing and also what to keep (existing files and programmes) Run rufus and direct the programme to where the ISO file resides. Also installed on a Dell laptop that only just doesn't support 11.ĭownload the windows 11 ISO and a copy of a programme called rufus, you will also need a memory stick of at least 8gb compacity. Typing this on an old Lenovo X220 which shouldn't support win 11 (running win 11). but a few days ago MS was giving me the chance to update Windows 10 pro on my Dell E6540 laptop to Windows 11 pro, I turned the update down (it showed up in the windows update option), it now says my laptop is not compatible again (no changes made at all) - not sure what that's about.Īpparently this was an accident and the option has been removed. I don't know, but my laptop has always been incompatible with Windows 11 (it's always told me so anyway). ![]()
