why would I install win11 on anything?

@@skeetorkiftwon I can't answer that question for you but I have done several videos going over the features of Windows 11 as well as some videos on things I don't like about it. Check them out.

@@CyberCPU Lol! No thanks. I haven't even seen a computer running Windows of any flavour this year, and it's already mid-June. Most people I know will not touch it with a barge pole, unless it happens to be on their office computers, and they can do nothing about it.

@@RWBHere Then why are you watching Windows content?

Does this installation wipe existing files on windows 10 or does everything carry over to windows 11 unharmed?

Thanks for the comment.

How's the experience? I also want to upgrade my Thinkpad T450 (8 years old laptop) from windows 10 to windows 11 but I'm too scared to switch. Your experience and knowledge might help me. Thank you

@@benjohn6030 Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply. So far, so good. Everything still running smoothly. I think your T450 is Core i5, so should run even better than my Aspire (which is only i3). My Aspire was just being used for web browsing, so really I had nothing to lose. Hope it goes well for you.

@@annegrey-blackman5934 hello i got a new easy way to do it faster You can usually bypass it by doing this. SHIFT + F10 > cmd > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > SETUP > New > Key Rename Key TO "LabConfig" now create these. all of them he to be DWORD 32-bit Value New > Rename To BypassCPUCheck, Value Data = 1, Base = Hexadecimal by now. Switch bases to Decimal Now you need these: BypassRAMCheck, Data base = 1 BypassTPMCheck, Data base = 1 BypassSecureBootCheck, Data base 1. Now Begin setup. NOW IT WORKS EXACTLY FINE!

@@benjohn6030 hi if you switch to windows 11 on Unsupported device you will not be able to play game with anticheat software like fortnite/valorant

Dang, I guess I have no excuses!

Does it have performance issue or some bugs ?

@@ethaniel4505 It may vary, no issues here but I remember it had hit some performance issues on my friend's older i5-6300.

Does this affect Windows updates?

I have installed windows 11 in calcutator ty ❤❤❤

Please stop the agony, windows on a mac….

Toad, how djew get the RGB lights to work on the Alienware after the win 11 hack? Mine won't do it...Please and thanks.

@@hessmir5270 from memory, I downloaded the windows 10 Instaler from the dell site, and installed as normal. If you're having trouble though, uninstall any version you have now, get the new one from the dell site (be sure to get your exact laptop model though) and reinstall. Also, dont let windows update try and get the software for you.... It never works.

Glad it helped.

Currently I have a Lenovo Thinkpad 61P running an up to date Windows10. But it started life with XP Professional! So naturally I am excited about getting this on Windows 11. Thanks very much.

@@zakstev It must run like crap

@@illegalsmirf I installed an SSD a couple of years ago so it is quite snappy.

@@zakstev bro I feel u lol I have a old msi laptop that I messed up the w10 upgrade process from windows 8...it kept looping when it finished Goodbye bricked harddrive...hello new ssd I was sooo happy lol

@@AznJungleFever Yes, that did the trick for me. And my secret for getting it into Windows 11 is a UKposts video that tells you how to do it.

Glad it helped.

MS said b4 Win11 came out - reminder only: They are removing 32 bit completely that's the 2nd biggest reason they made Win11. IMHO opinion they should make something for lower end, because only HARDWARE companies are benefiting not so much MS .

@@adamtajhassam9188 they removed 32bit in Windows 10 as well. 32bit is limited to 3Gb of ram. Windows 10 should have a minimum of 4Gb and honestly should really have 8Gb or more.

It has been failing for me also. I chose not right now for the updates because I kept getting data error when it’s PASS HALFWAY TO BEING INSTALLED. So I’m doing this for by he fourth time and I hope it works.

Yes, but it only works for fresh installs. I tried upgrading with it several times and it always failed.

@@CyberCPU Thats great info. Ive been looking for a way to upgrade customers without fresh install

@@CyberCPU Well, my SSD is partitioned to C and D and all my files are on D disk, so I never reinstall it from within windows. I format C drive and install it that way. I have windows 11 on flash drive, but I never actually tried if it would work on my similar ''potato'' :D

@@Mr_-_KiNg Windows upgrade works way better then it has in the past. I have very few issues upgrading.

Man fresh install is better option for me, i get back all my settings automatically. Even they automatically activate my os for me, i only have to sign in to my account.

Just about all computer up to and ever over 10 Years Old will run perfectly fine once they have a SSD put in them....

yup agree on this totally

@Tim Supovitz your welcome

What is Rufus and where do I find it?

Lol?

this media creation tool asks for nothing..it shows installing win 10 but actually installs win11 with no problems

I have windows 11 pro running on a motion computing le1700 from 2007. I upgraded from windows 10 pro, not clean install. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sIqpn6N5r4yFx5c.html

How bout i3 4th gen?

Mine was an i5-2500. Just created a USB Stick with Rufus and disabled Windows 11 requirements and Telemetry with two click....dunno what people act like this would be any hard

What are your experience so far? Is it stable? Are there any performance throwbacks? I want to install Win11 on my 7250.

iam about to is it all right any performace downgrade and is hdmi port working

​@@notfiveo bruh 🎉

not easy but yes

It will run on anything that will run Windows 10 for sure. The hardware requirements are stupid.

​@@CyberCPUwill win11 on i5 4200. It ran win 10 smoothly

Question: wonder if I can modify the iso file with msmd - to make a more lean installation first and then run the github patch described in this video on that??? RUFUS does sth similar to MSMD right?

@@mainstreampropaganda7518 I don't know. All I know is I ran the most recent windows 11 downloaded in RUFUS removed the TPM and installed it on my older laptop. Runs great and so far I am not noticing any issues. I am also not noticing anything missing like the terminal. Looks like a clean install. I do understand that the RUFUS install MUST be a fresh install.

@@THE-michaelmyers Do your updates work?

@@OriginalMergatroid Yes, they do. In fact, I had several last Tuesday. The thing is, and I can't overemphasize this enough! Make sure you have the critical drivers that will work. Luckily the Dell windows 10 drivers installed correctly in 11 for me.

Clean Install or Upgrade ?

Completely agree. I should have included that warning in the video. I'll pin your post in hopes people take your advice.

I tried in VirtualBox... on my i5-4460... and it ran just fine, gave it 8 GB of RAM, and made a 80 GB partition

Don't keep your data files in the default Windows locations. Set up a folder outside of Windows. That way if you have to reinstall you don't have to move your data.

@@writerpatrick It sounds like you are implying to not do a full backup. Is that correct?

@@writerpatrick I back my data up to a NAS on my network and then the NAS gets backed up to the cloud. I've lost all of my data too many times to take a chance. Even better I always back up all of my UKposts data to my NAS, the cloud, and an external drive. I work entirely too hard on these videos for there not to be multiple copies just in case one of my backups doesn't work.

Parentheses could also be a dash (anything that shows extra information)

@@godlyjblox2694 Must disagree. While a "parenthesis" is the extra information you refer to, and may be separated by dashes or commas, "parentheses" (as punctuation) refers exclusively to the curved brackets "(" and ")"

This is hardly more complex then Linux. 🤣😂

I can't believe this comment LOL.

@@CyberCPU Really?! When I bought a Win laptop - just for the odd time I'd need Windows - it took me two days to remove bloat and remove their "phone home" functionality. Then it tried to push an "update" on it which the poor 2GB/32GB machine couldn't swallow. In the meantime it's COMPLETELY eaten the 10 - 12 gigs it came with (after clearing it out) for no apparent reason. I'd have to hack the thing to keep it functional. Now it starts up with some blue screen, "persuading" me to update. But I've given up on it. I got my Linux machine, fired it up and that was basically it. Just a few apt's to get my beloved apps back. Updating is done while I'm working - and I can postpone it whenever I want. My wifes corporate laptop though FORCED her to upgrade. We left it for 24h, but it never revived. She had to get back to work (1.5h commute one way) to get a fresh one - in the height of the pandemic (sic!) So at my home, Windows track record of "being easy to use" - let alone "being reliable" - is pretty bleak.

@@HansBezemer What you probably experienced with the way Windows handles memory is reserved memory. When you open an application that application obviously takes memory. Then when you close the application Windows leaves that application in memory and marks it reserved. This is so if you open the same program again it doesn't have to put the program in memory again. If that memory is needed for something else then Windows releases it. It's actually a pretty ingenious system. I explained it in my videos about sysmain a while back.

@@CyberCPU Thanks for the explanation! However, either switching it off or a dedicated swap partition would have my preference.

Very valid point. Been wondering this myself.

I won't be downgrading to Win 11 because of even more built in spyware and control, I use win 10 pro that has most of the telemetry etc blocked now, but I already use Linux as well and will be moving over to that full time in a year or so I am still using win 10 for only 1 piece of software at the moment I think.

@@PhoebeAvro Totally on board with you! Sounds like we have almost the exact same philosophy, only difference is I have 3 programs that need Windows 10 and wont run on Linux. Hoping that Microsoft has finally pissed off enough people that a proper emulator is created for Linux to run our software or better yet developers wake up that its no longer in their best interest to continue to ignore Linux and start supporting it! I have been done and over Windows for a very long time and have been dreaming of the day it is dethroned permanently!

It's not worth the headache if something goes wrong and also can't update. I'll wait until I get a new laptop in a couple of years that will have it preinstalled anyways. Not in any kind of rush right now to have my OS look like a Mac.

Windows 11 is much better than Windows 10 for the only reason that it has an expiry date of 2031 while Windows 10 will expire in 2025. That is why one should change, unless you are keen to replace computers that work well just to follow the last computer trend. Besides everything that runs on Windows 10 will run on 11, just the desktop enviroment is different, as like many linux distros differ one from another.

Nah. Newer instruction sets are makink maximum 10-15% difference in computing power according to Jim Keller... I have windows 11 on a 2010 Xeon... zero problems... duh, windows 11 is practically a windows 10 skin...

Does this method work for an i5 4200m?

@@nemanmomand got windows installed on my laptop with the same cpu and I have been having no problem runs fine

@@ballsjoe7756 omg thanks man. Appreciate it!

@@nemanmomand I very late, but I only just seen it and this is not my channel, but the answer is yes

Check out my community tab. I give instructions on how to get rid of the watermark on unsupported PCS.

I haven't paid for Windows since Windows 7 release. Free upgrade to Windows 8, free upgrade to Windows 8.1, free upgrade to Windows 10 and now free upgrade to Windows 11. I use a Pro version though, not sure if hardware rules are different. Because I have used it on different hardware. Else a Windows Pro license key can be had for about $40 on various websites.

Just get 11 pro ISO, create it bootable on a drive and try it out... just do it offline. If it doesn't pan out then you're not out anything but time and you still have your new SSD waiting for another install, or backup, or clone what you already got... either way. Not gonna know until you try.

I don't really recommend a dual core. It will work but you will have high CPU usage most of the time. I don't even recommend a dual core in Windows 10.

@@STONE6969 A dual core i7 is still hyper threaded so it has 4 logical cores. With that said I have no idea why Intel made a dual core i7. I've seen that CPU before and it boggles my mind why they made it in the first place.

@@CyberCPU Because it has i7 in the name therefore appears to be better than it is. It's called misleading your customers, common business practices in tech I'm afraid. Anything to save a buck.

@@CyberCPUWhat to do with a batch of quad core CPUs with a large amount of broken cores, sell them as dual cores for Wallyworld budget PCs and similar. FX-8*** and FX-6*** ring any bells !?

@@CyberCPU a dual core i7?... didn't know it even existed. What gen is that anyways?

good question

I don't care so much about future "features" as I do about Security Updates. If I got your message about Security Updates, I would be *very* unhappy indeed. Huh?
