Windows 11 Upgrade 10.0.22000.120 BSOD Process1_Initalization_Failed upon reboot
- this is the best answer I got. I manage to get a call from Microsoft. So the issue is the version 10.0.22000.120 is unstable and is unable to boot because of it. The reccomendation by Microsoft is not to install the new version and still used 10.0.22000.100 for the time being.
The version is failing to reboot because its corrupted. They will be looking into this and was helpful with the information i was able to give. This will be passed on to the Development team and keep posting on this community as they are watching and understand the frustration. They asked that everyone not to get upset over it and understand the concerns, they thank you all for posting this issue.
They are sorry to hear about the issues with the insider, and do say that once you sign up to the insider it under to soul dregession.
It is confirmed by a member of the tech team that it's recommended to buy a new laptop as most new laptops will have CMS and TPM 2.0 Enabled and it very rare for a laptop or desktop not to have these disabled. They say not to run windows 11 on laptops that are 5 years old as they are not optumise for the win11.
but they would like to say thank you to everyone that has used windows 11 insider and all the feedback send has been really helpful.
Further update - installed on an Azure Gen 2 VM, fresh Win 10 Pro and updated to Win 11, all fine.
"They say not to run windows 11 on laptops that are 5 years old as they are not optumise for the win11."
Only optimisation I can see is TPM. You can run Win 11 on low spec slow hardware that has TPM but not on much higher spec faster hardware with top-end components that just doesn't have TPM. Also what about desktops? My "old" Dell XPS desktop is a high spec system and very fast for my dev use (Visual Studio etc), just no TPM.
Or is this a way they've come up with to specify a generation of processors, likely that don't have Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilites and thus the performance affecting mitigations? Except that doesn't add up as there are plenty of TPM PCs with those processors, and anyway a fast enough processor of that era is plenty fast enough.
I know MS say TPM requirement is about security, but that isn't optimisation so it's an odd thing for their support to say.
All said, the Azure VM running Win 11 now... meh. A new desktop theme basically.
What they mean is what i said. They did say it can run but not very well and some feature in windows 11 may not perform well. This doesnt mean you can't install win11, just not recommended.
So I got this right, you said you manage to inatall the 120 version?
