Zbook, thanks for detailed instructions, which I'll use this weekend, if solutions already proposed by Antspants and Ghot don't work. I'll let you guys know by next week. As always, I deeply appreciate the high level of support provided at Windows 11 Forum. Harmonia

Antspants, thanks for the excellent ideas. I'll be following up on your suggestions tomorrow. Also great concepts from Ghot, two Win 11 Masters. I'm not confident I'll get my upgrade licked by the weekend. Harmonia

Antspants, Inplace upgrade looks like the ticket. I'll read it and report back. The hard part is to find the right file. I searched in the Windows I will go with "Repair Install of Win 11 with in-place upgrade." My problem is that with Wumgr installed, I don't think Windows Update works any...

OK, Gnot, I'll do that by Friday and report back. Once I have the huge unzipped file. The next step will be the over-the-top Windows repair. I have two days to pray that the the downloaded file doesn't have malware and that the in-Place upgrade/repair doesn't wipe out all my info on the system...

Ghot, thanks for very detailed instructions. My download was 8 kb while it's supposed to be 8.88 GB so something isn't right. Harmonia

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately winver also shows Win 11 23H2.

I use Wumgr to download monthly Windows updates on my Windows Pro 11 23H2 system, where I had been deferring upgrade to Win 11 24H2 with InControl. On 5/27/25 I set InControl to “11” & “24H2” & "TakeControl" so that Wumgr could see and download Win 11 24H2. The Wumgr download and install seemed...

Excellent suggestion, Dan, I'll get to work on this.

Does the Win11 system operate on the network normally outside of the use of this "master" program? i.e.- web browsing, email, other forms of network use? Yes It's an old DOS program, called RTHomeServer used to run software from master system on slave systems. It does work but intermittently...

Event Viewer error: Ethernet Controller–Network Link disconnected shown on Win 11 Pro system. I’ve had issues using a program run from master system on my ethernet home LAN of 4 Win 10 systems plus one Win 11 Pro slave system (\\capa). Program runs fine on other slave systems, but doesn’t...

On this Windows 11 Pro system (\\capa) I looked in Event Viewer\Windows logs\Application and in Windows logs\System but did not see anything related to D: drive. I did see other errors: 1) Secure Boot not enabled. 2) Windows failed Fast Startup 3) Ethernet Controller–Network Link disconnected...

Thanks Hsehestedt: I will follow up on your ideas. "Consider connecting that D: to another port (if available) to see if it behaves the same." By "another port" do you mean the same as "different M2 slot" as suggested by Samsung tech; or do you have a different meaning?

Thanks, I just noticed that and hopefully much easier than messing around with ISO files. I spoke with Samsung tech. He said that since I already had latest firmware on 2 TB problem drive D: not to bother with firmware update for now. Move the drive to a different M2 slot (if there is one) and...

" .iso file is not bootable but the disc created from it is." I will try to do this with a tool called Rufus and let you guys know how it goes. Hold off: C: drive is not having any issues and has older version of Samsung firmware. D: drive does occasional disappearing acct and has latest...

Hi experts Berton and BamalnArk: I download firmware update for my internal Samsung NVM drives. But it is an .iso file. I saw this warning on Samsung site: * Notice: ISO files may be used only via DOS using a bootable CD/DVD So how the heck do I use this .iso file to update firmware on my two...
