Manually force the upgrade from Win10 to Win11?

Anonymous

Hi folks, I do not see an update option for Windows 11 in my 'Windows Update' overview. Even when I click 'Check for updates,' it does not appear. However, the 'PC Health Check' tool confirms that my PC is compatible with Windows 11. I am using a genuine product key, and Windows is activated. Is there a way to manually force the upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The most successful method to upgrade to Windows 11 is to use the Windows 11 ISO.

Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

Ensure you have at least 60GB of free space on your C drive.

Click this link:

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...

to download the Windows 11 ISO

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.

Have you tried the "online" method:

that upgrades your computer, WITHOUT needing to download & use the ISO file?

Hatte das Angebot von Windows 10 auf 11 abgelehnt, da mein Speicher etwas gering war. Habe jetzt aufgerüstet, aber Microsoft bietet mir kein update mehr an. Warten auf.... oder wie oben erklärt mit einer Win 11 Iso upgraden.

Microsoft controls the roll-out of Windows 11, by testing a computer similar to yours, to verify that installing Windows 11 will be easy.

So, even through the PC Health Check says "OK", Microsoft knows better, and is not (yet) offering the Windows 11 update for your computer.

As the Other Person wrote, you may download the ISO, build the "Installer", and try to upgrade. Hopefully, you won't run into any "glitches" similar to what Microsoft encountered, when they upgraded.

Good luck!
