  1. Just performed in place upgrade on unsupported machine, 24H2 -> 25H2

    This guys was responsible for my "Windows Server Setup" adventure. I used to use it to upgrade from W10 22H2 to W11 23H2 on a 6700K. This also explains why the setup opens a dos window called "get 11 on 'unsupported' PC". Man, it took me so long to find a single file...

    Guess what? I did a hard reset by holding the power button for a few secs until the PC shuts down, then started it again, started the setup and it went further not even after 10 seconds! Can you imagine? I've waited for hours for it to proceed and then this! 😂

    Anybody else an idea?

    Can somebody please take a screenshot of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion hive?

  6. Just performed in place upgrade on unsupported machine, 24H2 -> 25H2

    I'll find out. Soon or later :p No need to. Above is the only challenge here ;-)

    You know, if ur car is refusing to start, you dont wanna buy a new one or swap the engine. Instead u want to figure out what is wrong with it, right?

  8. Just performed in place upgrade on unsupported machine, 24H2 -> 25H2

    ebay 6-7 years ago iirc. I dont want to bypass anything. They should just let me do a normal in-place.

  9. Just performed in place upgrade on unsupported machine, 24H2 -> 25H2

    30 mins ago maybe? I currently have a lot of free time :), but not that much knowledge. Do you know by a chance, where the previous install information is stored? Its probably this one HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Source OS...

  10. Just performed in place upgrade on unsupported machine, 24H2 -> 25H2

    Yes, i already tried all 3 options. All same. 30 mins ago maybe?

    Of course! I do have multiple backups. But as i mentioned earlier, the upgrade is not the problem. My goal is to find the ghost :) At least for the sake of interest.

    Btw, if i want to do the in-place upgrade, at certain point this window appears and stays like forever (waited 30+ minutes)... The only way for me to get to the latest build is to modify the group policy to force 25H2 to appear in Windows Update. Like this:

    Sure, but there must be a way to modify those values to meet the current requirements, right?

  14. Just performed in place upgrade on unsupported machine, 24H2 -> 25H2

    Yeah, very strange. I am pretty sure my PC can run Windows 11 :LOL: But Microsoft isnt.

    Thanks for the tips, but the upgrade itself is not the problem. I only want to figure out what lets the damn setup think i am using old unsupported HW??? Impossible...
