Hello

I never had any problems with my PC .

Windows 11, version 24H2 update is ready to install, I approve the restart, it starts working, stops at 68% for 5 minutes, then restarts and turns off PC. When I booth back, it simply wants to download it and install it again.

Troubleshooter shows Error but offers no solution.

I have downloaded the ISO and followed all instructions, but 26% in, the installer just stops all goes back to windows and says Windows 11 instalation failed.

Any ideas?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    I have tried everything. Have given up.

    Pausing the autoupdates for one week at a time - then when it unpauses I give it a try - watch it go (slooowly) up to 8% for then to tell me my pretty new hp elitebook g10 pro with win11 is not good enough for win11 and I should go buy a new laptop - then I sigh heavily and pauses the updates once again for one week...

    I will buy myself a cake to celebrate the day this update actually works.

    Ok if you got the memory required installed then you can use whats called the server method to install 24h2. Assorted youtube video if you Google

    windows 11 24h2 server install

    Its how people get it on their old machines. You can go about 12 years back in hardware. In fact 24h2 is less fussy on old hardware than new hardware.

    Your question on the Microsoft tool won't be this one, just that it's detected your hardware is not 24h2 compliant. There is a tool on the 24h2 download website. That will tell you your hardware is not compliant and why. If it's that fancy boot chip use the server method. Suspect loads of Windows 10 people will be doing this. Microsoft left the server method in we can assume for business users that couldn't replace their hardware... hence why it's called "server".
