Windows 11, version 24H2 won't install

There is a pc health check tool available which can tell you whether your pc meets the requirements to install Windows 11"

But if you are running an older version of Windows 11 (such as 23H2), then it obviously does meet the original W11 requirements.

Then it's a question of what it is about your pc that the new 24H2 update doesn't like.

Hvciscan_amd64.exe is a tool you can download from microsoft that can list any problematic drivers that cause the update to fail.

These are not listed when running the above mentioned pc healthcheck too

yeah that didn't work. i don't know what i can do to get this to work. i don't know where to go to fix corrupted files. it tells me my laptop does not meet system requirements. what am i supposed to do a full reset?

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".

I updated Oct 18 on my old and "incompatible" Lenovo💻the big 24H2 update without any problems - it took 1 h 28 min to install the update!

It is introduced by replacing the entire operating system with a newer version and is the biggest Windows 11 update since 2021.🤔

My Lenovo has been purchased already in 2016.

I downloaded the installation file**: Win11_24H2_Finnish_x64.iso (5.29 Gb)** from the official Windows 11 download page:

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com) (3rd installation option)

So … I downloaded the "virtual disk" or *.iso file (press the downloaded *.iso file with the right mouse button and then select "open in application" and then select "Resource management" and then click SETUP) and install from it - everything succeeded perfectly!

**All kinds of updates did start arriving normally immediately after the installation was completed!**😁👍

i did a pc health check all my hardware is supported but why won't it install?

huh? i don't understand. i just did a pc health check and everything meets requirements for the new build of windows 11.

yeah that didn't work. i don't know what i can do to get this to work. i don't know where to go to fix corrupted files. it tells me my laptop does not meet system requirements. what am i supposed to do a full reset?
