When Miserysoft introduced their (at the time) new operating system I believe we were promised smaller updates, and be more reliable and robust ...... Since I installed Windows 11 about a year ago on one machine, all the monthly cumulative updates have been between 1 and 4GB, sometimes offering...

thanks for your reply, I have noted the details.

Thanks for your reply. However I want to delete as much info like my favourites and so forth and unlink the device presumably before I do the clean instal. My thoughts are that it is sometimes difficult to access the microsoft account at certain times already, being told I am using the wrong...

I am on Windows 10 and forced to have a microsoft account in order to continue to receive Windows updates , although I still sign in with the local account. I want to remove as much infornation from my microsoft account ,unlink my device if it is shown and start the closure process. alhough I...

In reply to Try3 I had two cumulative updates KB5065426 and KB5066835 and KB5066128 the latter for Net Framework. These were all installed on 10th November. On 11th November I had the "pleasure" of installing KB5068861 the November "ordinary" cumulative update

Thanks for your replys. A few weeks ago when I installed the then "new" official iso for 25h2 as an in place upgrade on my windows 10 22h2 machine there were at least two if not three cumulative updates that had to be installed, not just one as some people have reported here. I realise some...

Microsoft has updated the media creation tool to instal the latest version and updates for 25H2 but the standalone version of the ISO is over 2 months old. I do not want to download an ISO using media creation tool as I don't think that has a hash that can be verified whereby the standalone ISO...

Er thanks for the post you say "i would wait until 25H2 is released and download the ISO which you can use to upgrade Windows 10 from this can be done by just mounting the 25H2 ISO and upgrading." If I choose this option, download the ISO ,right click and "mount" what folder should the ISO be...

sorry for the delay in replying. if i let windows update update me from windows 10 to windows 11 24h2 will it ask me whether i want to keep my old files and if i say no with this say goodbye to my local account ? Also at the moment I have read that windows 25h2 preview shares the same code as...

I have a laptop with Windows 10 22H2 which has full compatability with Windows 11. I am getting a blue flashing banner in Windows Update trying to persuade me to update to Windows 11. This I may do but I MYSELF have certain requisites. Widows 11 must respect my local account that I have always...

thank you for your suggestion. I feel a bit stupid because I continued to customise the desktop and various tweaks which copilot helped me with despite the issues I have. I am disappointed with my installation "experience". Even if I purchased a new laptop that will probably want gigabytes...

My computer meets all the requirements for Windows 11 and I thought I would do a clean instal from the previous Windows 10 that I had originally. Because I wanted verification of downloaded installation files I chose the ISO image as Microsoft provides the hash codes. I didn’t choose any of the...

but the big question is will it force me to use a microsoft account if 25h2 is offerred. I know I will have some time before I have to reach a decision. I have debloated Windows 11 as much as I can and it is at least as good as windows 10 and has a fresh look to it. With the official way of...

Thank you for your replys. In the end I created an ISO put it on a stick using a "tool" and choosing the option for a local account only. Windows 11 seems to work fine for me, although it is a new instal as I had wiped my drive. As my computer automatically activated and I have all the...

Thank you for your posts. You have suggested I disable bitlocker before upgrading. I have never had it enabled on any of my machines. I also have no idea what the bitlocker key inumber is either on any of my machines. I am also impatient and if the upgrade instal fails I will do a clean instal...
