I have just this minute checked out the forum and as soon as I read the news of the beta update, checked settings, and it is downloading. About 4 minutes later I have it up and running.

Wonders will never cease, on the upteenth attempt, trying witk both disks, Windows 11pro has installed, and updates are installing. I had not changed anything in the BIOS.

I just found a DVD of W11 dated April 2023 and tried to get it to run and got the same message "this pc can't run Windows 11" This disk must be earlier than 24H2. I found the thread from some time ago and there were no answers, I remembered my password and that solved it for me. Nobody has...

As I was stuck in the BIOS, I decided to use the "load optimum defaults" and the Bios is now normal. I tried the DVD and everything started a lot more normally but has stalled at a "this pc doesn't currently meet Windows 11 requirements". I have encountered that before even though the Athlon...

I thought it was funny that my 64 Gb USB thumb drives only showed as 32 Gb, whether fat32 or NTFS. That still does not explain why the W11 won't fit on 32 Gb and NTFS will. Maybe my download is wrong, I have it the downloads folder as a disk image file size 5,832,097,792 bytes. It's just got...

I have just disabled CSM and trying for a boot from the DVD. I have been installing Windows since W95 and the proceedure from optical disk has not changed much, only the option "not having a product code" has been added as far as I know. Whether a disk has formatting has never stopped Windows...

I have looked at every BIOS setting and cannot find any mention of Secure Boot. I was hoping that someone has an up to date W11 on USB to confirm that my ones are downloaded correctly by comparing the total bytes. I could temporarly disable TPM which is on a daughter board rather than via the...

I have just changed the M2 hard drive in another W11 pc for a different one, (from WD 500 to a Patriot 256) The new drive has been wiped and formatted. I have fresh boot media on DVD and it starts installing until it reaches 10% and then stalls and eventually fails. The installation has added...

Iwas too busy to reply to the previous update, but this latest one has worked without any problems, faster than usual for the UK.

A quick update for me, I get reminded as soon as Windows has downloaded, seems ok.

I just happened to check out the forum, and saw the fifteen minute old announcement by Brink, and now it is downloading on this pc. A record for me being the other side of the pond, I don't usually get it for at least 24 hours. It works fine so far, about 2 minutes from "restart" to running.

The request for a restart came a few minutes ago and it is up and running. I went to 24H2 a couple of months ago, I'm not surprised it is now compulsory for all beta users.

Just got the restart request and it only took about 2 minutes, seems fine. I'm not interested in batteries, my laptop is only gen 6 Intel and is on W10

The request to restart came to me in the UK about ten minutes ago and it took a couple of minutes and seems ok so far.

Got it a few minutes ago, thats the second in a week. I suppose the profanity switch is to stop people saying nasty things about carrot face. ;-)
