Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@mebuc1007 says : Excellent; thank you very much. Thorough and detailed.🙏👍>> <<@JayMane-z7c says : Always give "Credit kudos" where credit is due ...so I must say your Channel is "Hands Down" 100% freaking awesome. 👍 👍 👍>> <<@bebokyey737 says : 14:36 "And Quote" "Well, Knock Me Down With A Feather"! Awesome 😂😅>> <<@lkira4911 says : Can someone anyone help this doesn't work for me because secure boot must be supported. Thanks>> <<@kirklima1640 says : The install is asking for an install key. I tried to find it in the command prompt window and it looks like I have an e license, I believe it is called. What now>> <<@tomahawk1705b says : Yes I did this exact same Windows 11 Rufus install. I also recently enabled the Windows Server 2025 stornvme.sys registry hack on my Windows 11 Home edition and are now running direct native Microsoft NVMe driver on my WD Black SN850X 1000GB drive. System latency is almost non-existent now and the true performance of modern NVMe technology has been released upon my HP 15 laptop. Makes me realize how bad and outdated Microsoft's SCSI emulation drivers were and holding back my 12th GEN Core i5 performance metrics haha)) 😂👍>> <<@Vaximmion says : Can i do the Rufus installation process on windows 7. I am tried but windows user experience doesn't appear>> <<@martyngreig9379 says : How do you get round the fact Microsoft won’t let you down load the ISO anymore. Just comes up error>> <<@lashturner says : I wouldn't use your method. There's another method that keeps all programs and settings from earlier versions of windows. Just using terminal.>> <<@Jan_Alexander says : Now that EU countries got the extension of 1 year of Win 10 updates, is the installation of Win 11 any different? I've read recently on OSnews that MS is trying to block even more the ability to install with a local user.>> <<@DesertStingOfficial says : Thank you from 2026>> <<@FarelKel says : Some people might manage install this,but i didnt have such luck,the pc did end up showing only bosd either during install or after seemingly succesfull install,where i did trick installer win 11 into win 8 installer,but it was unstable ... I ve tryed all sort of things... even removing tpm requirements in registry during install,but that crashes the installation to another bosd,becoz of installer detected tempering with it ... probably wouldnt work anyway... Also one of the reasons is the Popcnt ,which i have no idea what is it ...probably even if i got hands on oldest win 11 installer i could make it work,but still the popcnt would make the bosd screen after 5 minutes succesfullty runing desktop,and enabling bosd details showing popcnt or other awkward dll problem ...>> <<@SLAMMINSAMMYYY says : Wow this actually works on my dell optiplex 3010 mini tower I couldn’t find any other way besides this video thank you so much>> <<@gerdfreising1909 says : 10to11 is the old sixseven>> <<@harshsingh3635 says : this method is useful for 2025 now for less then 8th gen cpu or 8th gen after to install original windows 11 install and updates>> <<@Jeffmartin-dt8pc says : This was a disaster, yes, I installed Windows 11, but the card reader will not work and any driver that I've tried, Windows has blocked it (code 48). I even went back to Windows 10, and it was working before with the upgrade from Windows 8 to 10, now it's not with the same error message. I've tried re-installing Windows 8, and it won't let me, it can't find the drive because Windows 10 is installed on it. I think I will have to remove the drive and format the whole thing through USB on another computer to literally start from scratch just to get the card reader work when I go back to Windows 8. What a mess ! It's an Alienware machine from 2014, so it should have TPM 1.2, but it doesn't, however there is a new BIOS version, but I can't install that until I get a new battery as the installer insists that there be at least 10% left in the battery. The battery is so old it won't take a charge. I don't even know if the new BIOS includes TPM 1.2, Dell doesn't say of course... I should have checked the BIOS earlier to see if the new one has TPM, because doing a clean install, didn't work where the card reader is concerned.>> <<@lesley2989 says : tried all the steps didnt work for my laptop>> <<@seanthomas-bouzas4306 says : Worked well thanks! The only issue was watching another video about creating a GPT partician in mid install which wasn't too complicated and waiting hours for my PC to install :)>> <<@NiklasHahn-r6m says : Anybody help me? I get a few issues after - fx i can’t access my C drive now, and device manager is not accesable as well - please help>> <<@Mr.84c0n says : there is 4 of rufus which one should i choose>> <<@gtu00 says : Hi Christopher. I'd like to thank you for your help in this and other videos. You have a full grasp of the issues, and, you are able to clearly and concisely explain courses of action, so that everyone can understand. I had an unsupported SFF HP PC running Win 11 23h2, and it was not getting 24h2 or 25h2 through the Windows Update. I had tried various "unauthorised" methods of updating but none worked. I was, however, trying to do "in place" updates, but, as you point out, these will not work in this situation. So, I tried again, this time with the 25h2 ISO downloaded from MS, and with Rufus 4.11, and performing a "clean install" - and it worked. Everything is in order, getting lots of system updates in the usual way. Thanks very much, and I will be watching as many other videos of yours as I can, lots to learn!>> <<@Nick41622 says : Be warned, this is now dangerous and harmful content, according to YouTube.>> <<@daverich3352 says : Regarding unsupported CPUs, is there any specific reasons / functionality why older CPUs are not supported?.>> <<@Nick_R_ says : Is it better to upgrade from 10 to 11, or do a clean install?>> <<@ace-shqiptare says : to upgrade from windows 10 to 11 and keep my files and apps do i need the usb that have rufus installed or no. thank you for the video it helped me alot in my laptop now im just upgrading my main pc but i need to keep my files and apps>> <<@catloter says : it says error in windows instaler ios or somethink>> <<@Sebwix says : why doesnt it work for me, it says i need TPM 2.0 (i did the second version)>> <<@DiaboloCirque says : Thanks to your guide, I completed the last step of this update just in time. Great technical content, great presentation, great humor and great ethic. It was a challenging update for me. To prepare windows 11 installation, I had to convert an MBR disk partition to GPT and go down all the way to a GRUB screen to modify a parameter that would not show up in BIOS options to enable TPM 2.0 on my processor. Sure, enabling TPM 2.0 can be skipped, but I preferred to limit the amount of incompatibilities with stated requirements. Again, thank you !>> <<@toffer9613 says : "Well knock me down with a feather.">> <<@xansiclab says : I just watched this video a few hours ago, followed the regedit tweak and the install went smoothly on an unsupported windows 10 device! 🎉🎉🎉. Thanks a lot Chris, this video is very detailed and helpful!>> <<@SkyNetGeneral- says : Hi, I don’t think my Lenovo T440P has a chance lol it states - no support for TPM 2.0 - processor is not supported - PC won’t support Secure Boot Any chance ??>> <<@PkJal-w8f says : Thx for the video. Could follow up with a video how safe copy your current hd so if something goes wrong you can always start your computer up from the external hd. ? Thx.>> <<@drumrnj says : Should I be formatting my drive to delete Windows 10 . It is not allowing me to proceed saying we cannot create a partition or locate an existing one .>> <<@wolfiesgaming5216 says : Lol, 4:45PM "Lets see if solitare is working... I'll come back to you very shortly to demonstrate how to upgrade." - 5 hours later 9:40PM "Greetings! I am back again...">> <<@wolfiesgaming5216 says : It is time :C>> <<@alexmorgan3967 says : October 2025 Update: Using the registry hack to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 still works, but it may be a bit slow when checking for updates. Also, the language selected for the ISO file download must be the same as the default language on your PC. Hope this helps for those of you who didn't already know about any of this.>> <<@orides5976 says : Is it safe to do so?>> <<@HektorBandimar says : Thank you Chris, I got there in the end on my old MSI laptop, it didn't quite go as you showed in your video, but using Rufus I got there in the end, apart from a legacy / uefi problem which I had to apply a bit of common sense, but it's up and running, thank you!>> <<@gamalmfoudah says : Good morning Mr. Cristopher, Sir please I like to contact you regarding dowloding Win11 on unsupported PC Dell All in 1 DESKTOP-CIGLOLN Inspiron One 2330, it's keeping sowing unspported, I did thank's to you do the method you explained on two old laptop and it's working so perfect. Please if there's an email or any way tocontact you. thank's 🙏🙏🙏>> <<@furnicutz says : The registry trick no longer works...>> <<@christophermafuta8434 says : Hi, do these methods work on a 32 bit PC?>> <<@henrykhenrykowski2745 says : Well, lately I've tried to install W11 on a very old laptop that I've got - Asus F3Sg, bought ~16 years ago. CPU is Intel T8100, and over the time the only upgrades it has received were 4GB of RAM (max it can get) and SSD. Tried to install system on it: from original ISO, the one made with ChrisTitusTech utility and with Tiny11 made with tiny11builder script. I used E2B to boot them but also Rufus to write each ISO on pendrive. Overall the result was always the same: they all failed at the same point, which is initial boot of installer. It tries to load and you can even see that static blue W11 logo, but after minutes of so waiting, computer reboots without any message. Like I did not have any hopes of installing it there, I just wanted to try and see. Unless there's maybe some other method to do so, but the ones that I could find on the internet did not work. Just wanted to share this, if maybe someone else woudl like to try.>> <<@DrummingMan1 says : Nice thank you!>> <<@mikeeyram says : So I probably shouldn't use this method to install Windows 11 on a 14 year old PC?>> <<@KellyWhittaker-u8y says : I have followed the steps for a clean install (vs. update) All goes well up to the point of going into the boot menu and choosing the USB to boot from. My USB isn't showing on the boot screen. Can anyone help me with this?>> <<@JoacoTech says : works on my 2009 imac?>> <<@crazy8sdrums says : I have an aging laptop that still works perfectly. It has been upgraded a fair bit too....SSD and 16gb RAM....but an 5th gen Core Intel which is not supported. Windows 10 is flawless on it and I don't want to give it up yet. "It it works, don't fix it" is good advice, imo....so I just want to leave it alone and let it go. Hopefully the hacker idiots will understand that the folks using old hardware are usually just broke and should not be targets for hacking...?>> <<@crazy8sdrums says : October 2025 is coming up quickly. It may be time for you to make a follow up video for this successful video. Cheers Chris!>> <<@shinyshadow says : Tried the upgrade way by changing the registry and it still comes back with "Must Support TPM 2.0" and "must Support Secure Boot" , I thought the reg hack was supposed to get round this issue.>> <<@EBM_Shorts says : Still not supported after making your settings for Lenovo laptop core i3>>
