If you try to upgrade from a Canary build to a Dev build, this is probably not possible. It doesn't have to do if the system is compliant or not. You must probably do a clean installation if you want the Dev build, otherwise stick with Canary. You can verify this with a Virtual Machine before attempting anything on your computer.

    Legacy MBR installation, no TPM, no Secure Boot, no WDDM 2.0 graphics drivers, no SSE4.2, cannot get more unsupported ;) This is only my test laptop. I had installed Windows 11 here before upgrading my main PC. For my main PC I use everyday see my 2nd system specs.

You can manually update like this.

Download iso that has been issued for this release, mount it as a drive and run setup.exe, selecting to keep everything.

Iso download must be same language as your primary installed language.

I've just used Windows Update to do the very same upgrade on my unsupported 'System Four' (see 'Other Info' in My Computers below).

At about 8% downloaded Windows Update will run the compatibility checks, which of course will fail.

After it has failed, replace C:\$windows.~BT\sources\appraiserres.dll with a zero byte sized file with the same name. Make one by making a New Text Document on your desktop and renaming it. Then click Retry in Windows Update, this time it will skip the checks and the download and install will run to completion.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

Yes, I would treat my computer as non-compliant, even if it was and replace the appraiserres.dll with an empty dummy. To avoid any secret online compatibility check I would also disconnect from the internet during the upgrade.
