Windows 11 24h2 cpu support for windows 10 to windows 11 upgrade
Hello everyone, Not sure if my Windows 10 PC could meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11 (doubt about the CPU), and I want to install Windows 11 version 24H2. With Microsoft's strict CPU requirements for Windows 11, I'm concerned whether my PC will still be eligible for the upgrade when 24H2 releases. What is Windows 11 24h2 cpu support? I know that initially, Windows 11 required 8th Gen Intel or Zen 2 AMD CPUs (with some exceptions), but not sure if the 24H2 update will change these requirements or enforce them even more strictly.Comment partager lecran de son telephone sur pc facilement sur Windows ?

The current system is Windows 11 22H2 Pro. I have received an "End of Service" notification (e.g., "This version of Windows is nearing its end of support date"). Clarification is needed: 1. Is it necessary to update immediately to a newer version (e.g., 23H2/24H2)? 2. If I decide not to update, can the system continue to operate normally long-term? If feasible, what specific security or functionality risks will I face?
How to Quickly Delete Duplicate "Files with the Same Name" in the Same Folder in Windows 11
Over the years, I have repeatedly stored files in the same folder, and now I have accumulated a large number of duplicate files with identical names and paths.

A process named "Windows Modules Installer" has appeared in the system, with its memory usage abnormally increasing to over 600MB (subsequently dropping to about 345MB, still considered high). This phenomenon was not observed before. Need clarification on the specific function of this process (whether it is a Windows update component) and how to stop or limit its memory usage when it is not necessary, to avoid continuous impact on system performance.
Windows 7 home premium iso download for 64 bit and 32 bit
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My old Windows 7 PC was down and need a clean install. But i can't find a legitimate, safe, and clean source for Windows 7 home premium iso download, both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions. I have a valid product key that I need to use for a reinstallation on an older computer. I am aware that Microsoft's official download page for Windows 7 ISOs was taken down years ago. My main concern is avoiding modified, malware-infected, or unofficial copies from random sites, as I've heard that can be a real problem.Comment passer sous windows 11 pc non compatible facilement et en toute sécurité

In the "Startup" tab of Task Manager, some applications show their "Startup Impact" column as blank or "Not measured," instead of the usual Low, Medium, or High ratings. Need to understand whether this status is due to the system deliberately omitting measurements, a malfunction in the measurement mechanism, or restrictions from user permissions/settings. Also seeking methods to fix the display or obtain accurate impact assessments.Migrate to Win 11 before or after changing HDD?
Good morning Windows 10 offers me to upgrade to Windows 11, but I want to change my hard drive to upgrade to an SSD. Regarding the license, in what order should I take it? Another question, is the migration done via an update, or do you have to download an ISO?
Windows 25H2 update – S3 sleep mode compatibility issue
Windows 25H2 update – S3 sleep mode compatibility issue Dear Microsoft Engineering Team, hello! I recently discovered a long-standing bug in Windows 11: the computer sleep configuration is the system default, and when it goes to sleep or the second time or after restarting, it will be woken up for no reason during sleep. Personally, I think the compatibility of Windows 11 operating system with S3 sleep is not good, especially for desktops and laptops with 2.5G unlimited brand network cards and onboard 2.5G network cards, there are bugs such as misjudgment of network card signals. In addition, after sleep is awakened, the sound card still has a long silence problem, which can only be restored after a period of time. The program itself does not support the wake-up function after investigation, and the commonly used programs will not disturb sleep, and can eliminate program and hardware problems. I tried the following troubleshooting method 1. Try to reinstall the system and install it cleanly (it cannot be solved) 2: Try to install the latest version of the driver, or even update the BIOS to the latest version (no solution) 3: Replace hardware such as motherboard, memory, power supply, etc., including replacing other brands (unsolvable) 4: Contact Microsoft support and take measures to turn off the wake-on-NIC (temporarily solved, but it affects the wake-on-NIC function, which is inconvenient to use) At present, I don't think this measure is a good stopgap measure, and the measure has seriously affected my normal use of the network card wake-up function, and at the same time is highly dependent on the sleep function. In addition, when asking for help on social media, I saw that ASUS computer staff found sleep compatibility issues between Windows 11 and 2.5G network cards as early as 2024, and the ASUS onboard Intel i226-v network card motherboard could not enter sleep mode normally (model number ROG STRIX B760-G Gaming D4). At the same time, in order to confirm my judgment, I used the tenth generation desktop of my work unit to install the same system to make a comparison, this host is a 1G network card, after testing, the 1G network card in the default power setting (network card wake-up is turned on by default in the device manager power option), there is no above problem, and combined with the two motherboards I replaced before, both have a 2.5G network card on board, one model is (ASUS PRIME B760M-A), the other is (GIGABYTE). GAMING X DDR4 GEN5), and replace a new motherboard again, the problem is still the same, as long as any 2.5G network card on board of any brand of motherboard, including but not limited to self-installed 2.5G network card (network card wake-up is turned on by default in the device manager power options), there is a sudden misjudgment of Windows 11's network card wake-up signal during sleep and is woken up for no reason. At the same time, others have also reported that the motherboard of the 15th generation platform also has the problem of sleep suddenly being woken up by this system bug, so I would like to share my new discovery with you, looking forward to the letter from your behind-the-scenes engineering team, and at the same time, I would like to ask when this problem can be solved (that is, the problem of wake-up suddenly being woken up by a misjudgment signal when the 2.5G network card is turned on by default to wake up and enter sleep)? Thank you very much and look forward to your reply from your engineering team.Windows 11 - Windows Update - Automatic restart after update
Hello We migrated our systems to Windows 11 24H2 from Windows 10. We encountered a problem with Windows 11 24H2 automatically restarting after installing an update. A message appears that the system will restart in 15 minutes. The user can click a different time. After a few minutes, the message that the system will restart appears again. How do I disable automatic restarting after installing the update? We have set the active hours for the system and the "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" option. When we had Windows 10, the system would not restart. After installing the December update for Windows 11, the system forced a restart. The problem occurs on all computers. How do I disable automatic restart? Update via Wsus. Windows Update configured via GPOHow to Remove the Alphabetical Index Bar Under All Apps in the Windows 11 Start Menu?

Alright, I'm feeling a bit out of the loop here. Where's the actual, legit place to download Windows 11 24H2 ISO? The official website does not hold download for old Windows 11 versions. I see a bunch of sketchy third-party sites and "leaks," but I don't trust that noise. Just want the official Microsoft channel so I don't brick my PC. Any help is appreciated, thanks! Trying to do a clean install on a new build and timing is kinda tight. However, I need to a safe place for Windows 11 24H2 iso download. Cheers for any insights.How do I transfer files directly from Android to PC wireless without usb?
My phone storage is nearly full and I need to transfer my videos and photos to PC for freeing up the space. I am Looking for the best way to move over 30GB of photos and videos from my Android to my Windows PC without a USB cable. I need to keep the original files and quality, and I want to do it directly over my home Wi-Fi. I've considered cloud services like Google Photos, but re-downloading that much data to my PC seems inefficient. Bluetooth is far too slow for this volume. I need a direct wireless transfer method that's fast and reliable. What are your recommended to transfer files form Android to PC wirelessly without usb for a one-time bulk transfer this large? I'm on the same network and prefer something straightforward that won't compress my media. Thanks for any suggestions.
Is Enabling Secure Boot Mandatory for Windows 11 Installation?
The device supports TPM 2.0 but it is not enabled. Configuring Secure Boot poses challenges as it requires completely disabling CSM compatibility mode in the BIOS. Attempting to boot in UEFI-only mode results in a black screen issue with the graphics card. Please clarify: 1. Is Secure Boot an absolute requirement for installing Windows 11? 2. How can the black screen issue with the graphics card in UEFI mode and the difficulties in configuring Secure Boot be resolved?
Can Windows 11 Automatically Restrict File and Network Access for All Newly Downloaded Applications?
In the system settings, only options to restrict access for Microsoft Store applications can be found, with no way to limit non-Store applications downloaded from other sources. This means any program downloaded from the internet has full access to local files and the network by default, posing potential security risks. I hope the system can, like managing camera or location permissions, automatically restrict file read/write and network connection permissions for all newly added applications, and prompt the user for authorization when needed.
No 'go back' option on security update from 4 days ago
I'm trying to roll back security update KB5074109, which has made it impossible for me to use InDesign, which is the main programme I use for my job. It's a known issue - all my files are backed up on Dropbox/OneDrive and the update has changed how file locking / write permissions work (InDesign can still open files (read access), but failed when saving (write/overwrite), which triggers Error Code 2) - and I can't afford to be unable to work until Windows gets around to fixing it. Only issue - the update was installed on the 16th and it's now the 20th. Only 4 days ago but there's no 'go back' option in settings to uninstall the update - it's not even greyed out, just completely not there. Please help, thanks!
All Vulkan applications cause complete system freeze
I believe a recent Windows update has broken something related to the Vulkan graphics API on my machine. I am using an Nvidia GTX 970 graphics card. Any time I run any game or application that uses Vulkan my machine will completely freeze and a single error beep can be heard. DirectX games work completely fine. I have tried old drivers that I know worked previously and they no longer work. I transferred my GPU to an old Windows 10 machine and Vulkan games run fine. I tried to completely reformat my PC with windows 11 but the issue still happens since the Media Creation Tool created a USB drive with the latest version of Windows 11. I don't know if it was a Windows Update for certain but I don't know what else it could be. At first I thought it was a hardware issue but the graphics card works fine in my Windows 10 machine. Has anyone else noticed this problem? It's preventing me from working since I need to use applications the exclusivly use Vulkan.
