Thanks! Now I'm running Windows 11 24H2 in my hp laptop from 2011 😍

THIS METHOD WORKS
Using official 24h2 iso, I upgraded from 23h2 to 24h2. You saved me
I can already feel that 24h2 is more responsive and quick.

[paulwarner]

Thanx for that . I just downloaded today the release ISO of 24H2 and my old method of doing this has been blocked by MicroSlot in 24H2 but your method still works . Great job

[AKADongr]

Works perfect
I downloaded the 24H2 ISO from Microsoft (October 2024 is available) Anyway I went back to build 23H2. Build 24H2, presented login issues with Microsoft Store. And minor Microsoft Account Management issues. Thank you very much, best regards *** Edited. After a clean install of 23H2. The 24H2 installation works fine. Sorry, best regards

Great guide! I'm running Windows 24H2 on an old Dell Latitude E6530 from 2012! 23H2 ran great and is super responsive and stable.

Worked perfect for me on Lenovo ThinkStation P500 Workstation, and Lenovo ThinkPad T520 laptop. Thanks so much!

Thanks, this was very helpful and it worked fine just as you demonstrated it. I've just upgraded an old 2011 iMac (Sandybridge Core i7 2600S) and an ancient HP 2740p laptop which has a first generation Core i7 processor (620M), the ones that came out straight after Core 2 processors and prior to the Sandybridge chips. Both have their drives formatted in MBR mode because neither support UEFI. They're now running 24H2 without any issues, upgraded from 23H2 with the latest updates.

This method Working perfectly fine. Updated my dell Inspiron 5558 i5 4th gen from 23h2 to 24h2 successfully. Thank you bro!

Followed this video after downloading the Windows 11 24H2 ISO. Mounted it. Easy to follow instructions. Worked like a charm. Memory integrity isolation was turned on again after the installation completed. But this caused the HWINFO64.sys driver warning to reappear. Switched off the memory integrity isolation in Windows Security settings. PC working well.

No errors in the installation process.

Thank you so much. Much appreciated. 😊

If we already install the 24h2 Preview build, could we also get the stable release update in the further?, or do we need to perform re-clean install again in order to install the stable release?

Hi, thanks for the video. For me I get the error "Sorry, we're having trouble determining if your PC can run Windows Server. Is my laptop too old for this method? xD I am just trying to run WIndows 11 on my 13 year old laptop. I did get Windows 11 working in 2021, but now want to try to see if it can run newer versions too...

[terrybates]

It worked fine on one 12 year old computer but a few issues on another 12 year old one. It hung on the second boot at the setup.exe... with the error 0xC1900101 – 0x40017 "second boot phase". Google (a lot) one post and confirmed by another the virtual technology bios thingey you need for WSA was the cause. Reverted back to switching it off, rather than enabled in the Bios went onto the end. No issues so that was the cause of that error for me.

The cumulative update then played up on this computer. Installed it via the KB msi and that was fine. Hoping it's now settled down on updates. We'll see tomorrow.

For me the short answer is on old hardware you'll have to stop using WSA sooner than latter. I un installed it on that and it deleted all the associated apps.

Please make video how to bypass the SSE4.2 requirement for Windows 11 24H2 clean installation. Thank you

[JuanDavid-tsur]

If there is a possibility that I can't get any automatic updates from windows in the future by performing this method then what is the benefit of switching as opposed to just staying on windows 10?

[RougeRaid]

didn't work on my late 2012 dell xps 13

[dany__jhon]

Any other way to do it on a clean install from a virtual machine?

[Nets..]

When will stable 24H2 be released at the end of September?

[OmPrakash-pymt]

Will it change to server version or ask for activation?

My windows stopped getting new build updates on windows 21H2 and I don't know the reason.
