How to update Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2 on unsupported PC?
Hi, I have an old PC currently running Windows 11 22H2 and want to update it to 24H2. The issue is that this PC is not fully supported by Windows 11 as the CPU is unsupported and does not have TPM 2.0 chip. There is no update received on my computer so I have to install Windows 11 24H2 manually on this unsupported PC. By the way, it could be great to keep the apps and personal files. So I prefer an in-place upgrade to 24H2 other than clean install from USB drive. Is there any in-place upgrade solution to update Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2? Much appreciated if you could let me know how to do that. Thank you
I'm looking for a safe Apple music downloader for PC Windows 11
Hello everyone, I'm looking for a tool to download Apple Music songs on Windows 11. It's mainly for my convenience. It's better to be simple to use, fast, and batch downloading. I searched online and found a lot of recommendations. I feel that many of them are too advertising-heavy. Is there anyone who has used a reliable Apple Music downloader? I'd like a more authentic recommendation, preferably with a download link or user experience, thank you!
Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key on Windows 11
I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10. But after a short while I noticed the Windows 11 Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key anymore. On Windows 10 this works: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard and that entry will be removed from the history. Clipboard History remains open so you can repeat this for as many entries as you like. On Windows 11: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard, then the Clipboard History closes with no error or message. If you invoke the Clipboard History again, the entry is still there. So apparently there are only two options on Windows 11 now, use the "Clear all" button to remove all the entries from the history. Or click the 3 dots next to each entry you want to remove and then click Delete, which is... annoying if compared to Windows 10. Is there a way to make the Delete key work again?I tried changing to mbr2gpt
So last night I tried to go to mbr2gpt to use secure boot, I had no issues doing so and my computer was running perfectly fine. Until today I just tried to boot it up and unfortunately it wont boot past a black screen that says “Loading operating system”, now I have the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard and I’m not sure if that’s the issue or what it is my computer just wont boot past the “Loading operating system” I don’t know much about computers so that might’ve been my first mistake trying to mess around with settings I know nothing about lol
Dism error 1638 - OSUninstallWindow
Hi Guys, I hope you are all well. I recently updated ~30 machines from Windows 10 22H2 to Windows 11 24H2 (april build). I tried to extend rollback time to 30 days but I received following error: In dism.log: For upgrade process I used Windows 11 Installation Assistant. What might be the cause of that issue? Visual C++ Redistr? Can I still extend rollback by registry entry and it will works? Should I consider different method of upgrade? For now I noticed that only get/set-OSUninstallWindows returns that error. Thank you and best regards, Damian
Dell UEFI cause shut down to fail in Windows
Hi All, On certain Dell machines (different models), I have seen that Windows 10 (1803) fails to perform a full shut down after the BIOS has been changed to UEFI Boot. I know for certain that this is a fact after the following tests on an E4310: 1. There were no such problems with 1703 version of Windows (or earlier - including W8 and W7). 2. The problem didn't occur in 1803 either, as long as the boot mode was set to legacy. 3. As soon as the boot mode is set to UEFI, any Windows 10 (1803) mode fails to shut down the computer. This includes the following modes: a) Safe Mode b) USB or CD/DVD installation media c) Recovery mode At first, I thought it might have something to do with the GPT disk format, but even booting without a disk, just using a USB setup/installation memory stick causes the same problem as long as the stick has the 1803 version and UEFI boot is selected. Booting into BIOS mode alone doesn't help. The BIOS has to be set to legacy boot. Then everything works ok. I have searched the internet for weeks and moths without finding any help with this. So now I'm trying this forum.
How to install Windows 11 on ThinkPad T420 laptop?
I am seeking assistance on how to install Windows 11 on ThinkPad T420 laptop, which is an older model and I am unsure whether it is compatible with the latest operating system. My main concern is understanding the specific steps I need to follow to upgrade from my current OS to Windows 11, including whether I need to update any drivers or firmware, and if there are any potential issues I should be prepared for during the installation process. I would appreciate detailed guidance on how to check my laptop's hardware specifications against Windows 11 requirements, such as CPU, RAM, storage, and TPM capabilities, and whether it's possible to bypass any of these requirements or use workarounds.
