How to update Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2 on unsupported PC?
Hi, I have an old PC currently running Windows 11 22H2 and want to update it to 24H2. The issue is that this PC is not fully supported by Windows 11 as the CPU is unsupported and does not have TPM 2...
Steps to Upgrade Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2 on Unsupported Hardware:
1. Download Windows 11 24H2 ISO:
Visit the Microsoft website or a trusted third-party source to download the Windows 11 24H2 ISO file.
2. Modify the ISO:
- If you want to bypass hardware checks, you may need to edit the ISO file. You can use tools like Rufus or NTlite to modify the ISO when creating a bootable USB stick or just extract it.
- Alternatively, after mounting the ISO, navigate to the sources folder within the ISO and locate the appraiserres.dll file. Replace it with a modified version (you may find a pre-modified one online, but be very careful where you download from).
3. Mount the ISO:
Right-click on the downloaded ISO file and select "Mount."
4. Run Setup.exe:
- Navigate to the mounted ISO drive in File Explorer.
- Locate and run setup.exe.
5. Choose Upgrade Option:
When the setup begins, choose the option to keep personal files and apps. Follow the prompts presented by the setup wizard.
6. Complete Upgrade Process:
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The system will restart several times during this process.
7. Post-Installation Checks:
- After you update Windows 11 22H2 to 24H2, check that all your applications and files are intact.
- Review any issues or errors that may arise due to the unsupported hardware.
