install win 11 pro on a new machine that came with win 11 Home
I am buying a new laptop. It will come with Windows 11 Home. I have a Win 11 Pro key and a Win 11 ISO file on hand. How can I install pro on the new machine without going through the Home installation process that begins when I turn the new machine on. The only way I know how to do this is to use the Windows media creation tool - or Rufus - to make a bootable USB Windows installation drive. Is there an easier way? If not, I'm thinking that Rufus is the only way to use the ISO file I have to make a bootable USB. I think the media creation tool will either want to download Windows to create the bootable USB stick, or tell me to burn the ISO to a CD disk. Do I have that right? Thanks!Possible to bypass Windows 11 cpu check with rufus?
When I run the Windows 11 setup.exe from mounted ISO file, an error message shows: This processor isn't supported for this version of Windows. The CPU is an Intel Core 6700K. It seems this old PC doesn't meet the official CPU and TPM requirements. Could someone please confirm the exact steps to bypass Windows 11 cpu check with rufus? I want to make sure I select the correct settings to skip the compatibility checks during installation without causing any other issues. Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated.Why my pc not receiving Windows 11 25H2 update?
My wife's laptop was successfully updated to Windows 11 25H2 two weeks ago but my PC still does not receive Windows 11 25H2 update. Currently, it runs Windows 11 23H2 and the hardware specs are quite decent, including an Intel i7 processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Does anyone know the reason why my pc not receiving Windows 11 24H2 update yet？ What can I do to do this problem? Thank you
KB5067931 and KB5067036 severely impacted Gaming Peformance
Yesterday I installed both of these previews and to my surprise when I went to play a game I've been playing lately. It severely impacted my performance. FPS was reduced substantially. With tons of stuttering and FPS drops. I spent all night troubleshooting until I finally realized I should attempt uninstalling the preview updates as these were the only changes made to the computer in the last day. As soon as I uninstalled them, gaming performance returned back to normal. I know preview updates are usually rolled out about two weeks prior to official rollout. So, this is definitely something Microsoft should investigate.

AMD 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 !My PC doesn't have TPM 2.0. How can I force install windows 11?

Windows 11 ARM 24H2 - Problems with VB6 compile with P-Code
Hello, I work for a company that supports its legacy applications developed using Visual Basic 6 (VB6). These applications are compiled to P-Code, not native code. I know that Microsoft seems to have changed the emulator used on ARM in order to optimize operations. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/apps-on-arm-x86-emulation With 24H2, we have a problem with a mathematical calculation. With 23H2, the operation 30 + (0 x 2 ^ 8) = 30 With 24H2, the operation 30 + (0 x 2 ^ 8) = 0 Here is an example of a procedure to reproduce the problem : Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim Valeur1 As Long Dim Valeur2 As Long Dim Exposant As Integer Dim Resultat As Long Valeur1 = 30 Valeur2 = 0 Exposant = 8 Resultat = Valeur1 + (Valeur2 * 2 ^ Exposant) Call MsgBox("30 + (0 x 2 ^ 8) = " & Str$(Resultat)) End Sub For your information, if I compile one of our modules in native code, the problem does not exist. The problem only exists in P-Code. I can also fix the situation by modifying change emulation setting on the shortcut. Has anyone else had this problem? THANKS ! Sylvain
