Was the machine you upgraded a supported device for W11? Or did you need to use workarounds to get it to upgrade?

I've had issues in WD when upgrading using the hybrid W10 install media with a W11 install.wim. Mainly Windows Security when it did open was completely blank. Defender could be shown to be running normally though by testing with the EICAR test file.

Each time, a subsequent in-place upgrade using a W11 ISO and the 'delete appraiseres.dll' workaround fixed the issue.

Hi there

Thanks for suggestions

I got round the problem -- I just did a Macrium backup of a VMWare W11 build on another machine, restored via Macrium 8 to a physical laptop, run the fix boot problems and redploy to new hardware and it's all fine !!!

I can't be bothered with running the updates again from W10 and re0installing. Bonus also is that I now have Office 2021 LTSC installed as well.

That Macrium 8 is well worth paying for -- makes a doddle out of converting Virtual machines back to physical ones again !!! (and the other way around too if needs be).

Bedtime now

cheers
