I'm desperate, thought I had researched enough how to sort my windows 11 install. My laptop told me I could upgrade plenty of times, windows healcheck tells me it's compatible. I decided I should do a clean install and foolishly on a summary from online search it said I could do this my reseting my pc - I did this but in reinstalled windows 10 and then despite running updates multiple times gave me no options for upgrade to windows 11, despite the system is eligible... so I try installing from and iso virtual mount... takes forever, but it looks like I've succeeded until I need to add microsoft account... Then I try this and it says success you've proved you're human and then it just hangs... nothing happens... HELP!!!22Views0likes1CommentWhy oobe\bypassnro Not Working for Windows 11 25H2
Hi all, I managed to install windows 11 with a local account by applying the oobe\bypassnro trick. It worked like a charm in the past with Windows 11 22H2, 23H2 and 24H2 installation as far as I have tried. However, it seems this bug was patched by Microsoft and oobe\bypassnro not working for Windows 11 25H2. Is there any other methods I can try in order to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account? Thank you161Views0likes5Commentssecond monitor Odyssey G40B not working since win 11 25H2
I have two monitors Odyssey G40B which are connected to both my work and home PCs. They worked without problem until my home PC was upgraded to windows 11 25H2. At which point the home PC failed to detect the second identical monitor. The work PC is still at Win 11 24H2 and both monitors work fine. I've changed the monitors around and changed the cables and ports but the home PC will only recognise one monitor whereas the work PC displays on both. I've tried updating the drivers on windows 11 home PC. Deleting and reinstalling the display adapters and installing windows 11 25H2 on the home PC to no effect. I've now missed the 10 window to easily rollback 25H2. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any suggestions? Regards Simon7Views0likes0CommentsHow can I install Windows 11 25H2 on unsupported PC?
Got an used Dell desktop PC(HP Pavilion Desktop PC 2018) and I can't install Windows 11 25H2 on it as the setup utility says This PC can't run Windows 11. After some digging, i found out My PC doesn't have TPM 2.0 and my CPU isn't on the compatibility list, but it is currently running Windows 10 without issues. Can anyone share a working method or tools to install Windows 11 25H2 on unsupported PC?

Hi everyone, I'm not very good with all the computer stuff, so I was hoping someone could help me out. I'm currently running Windows 11 version 24H2 on my laptop, and I keep hearing about the next big update, 25H2. I'm just a bit confused about the whole process. At the time I am writing this post, my laptop still does not receive the update notice for Windows 11 25H2. Just because it is an unsupported hardware? In addition, I want to keep my files and apps. How can update Windows 11 24H2 to 25H2 manually?243Views0likes6CommentsWhy Intel Core i7-7500U is not supported for windows 11?
Hello. I recently tried to update my Windows 10 machine to Windows 11. However, when I checked with the PC Health Check app to see if my device fulfills system requirements, to my utmost surprise, I saw that the i7-7500U is not supported by Windows 11. However, older i7-5500U and i7-6500U are compatible with Windows 11. What is this issue here? How can I install Windows 11 on my PC? Note: My device supports secure boot, has TPM 2.0 enabled, and the processor has 2 cores, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB system storage.1.2KViews1like3CommentsCan Not Upgrade my computer to Win 11
I have an ASUS ROG gaming laptop. It's 3 years old and it apparently has the specs to be able to run Win 11. It has a 10th generation i7 CPU, 16 gig ram memory, 2070 nVidia video chip, 500 gig SSD and a 2 TB drive that I removed. I tried to upgrade from the (upgrade and security) area. It failed. I went to the MS site and tried to create a USB boot disk and could not. After finding out that the second SSD drive I installed was handing things up I removed it. Then I found there wasn't enough available storage space on the C drive. I removed programs. I checked and updated drivers and on and on. This is the last failure message I got. "We couldn't install Windows 11, we've set your PC back to the way it was right before you started installing Win 11, 0xC1900101 - 0x30018 (apparently a driver error message). The installation failed on the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSREP_SPECIALIZE operation." Thats the message. I feel that I am competent at doing computer stuff and I have never had a problem when upgrading all types of computers over the last 40 years. Dealing with DOS 3.0 was easier than this. I am now at the point of just going out and buying a new computer so I can play the PC games that I review for a web site. Please help because I would like to salvage this PC If possible. Thank you.

I heard it is totally possible keep all files and apps when upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10. However, when I tried to do this, the option keeps and apps greyed out and I can't choose it all. Only the 'Keep personal files only' and 'Nothing' option are available. I don't want to reinstall apps and lost my files during Windows 11 upgrade. Is there any way to fix this easily?3.5KViews0likes6CommentsAMD Ryzen 5 2500U and Windows 11 compatibility
I read the list of compatible cpu for Windows 11 and I noted that AMD Ryzen 5 2500U is not in the list. This is a fairly recent CPU as it was released Oct 26th, 2017 and my computer was bought new in April 2019! Is there a process currently utilized by Microsoft to receive requests to revise the list as this specific cpu may have missed the compatiblity list for some reason. I noted that there are many users wanting to upgrade their computer with this specific CPU around the world that are in the same situation and can't upgrade to Windows 11. Looking forward to a feedback about this one !155KViews11likes36Comments
