You can just delete that folder if you're not going back to what you had before.

Well crap the update crapped over my Windows 7 SSD "None bootable now" tried my WiN7 PE

Get a partition utility(AOMEI is my favorite) and set the drive as "Active". The update likely removed the boot flag for the drive..

Use bootable windows ISO USB and start recovery, you may need to perform some cmd prompts to get it booting again, search for restore windows bootloader, I have done it a number of times in the past when the turd hit the fan most times if the OS is still present on the disk you can restore

The problem with that method is that Windows recovery will only repair the primary installation, it would do nothing for his Windows 7 drive.

Here's a link to AOMEI's utility. Once installed you can right-click on the Windows 7 partition and make it "Active"(that option might be in a sub-menu for this new version).

do it via the systemsettings in the datasection. otherwise there persisting rests of data u cant delete. registry etc.

this i mean. not just kick it

Fair enough. I never do "Upgrades".. So that's good to know..

there is a hidden folder as well. this included then. WINre$

Right click drive, disk cleanup same thing?

 

[plastiscɧ]

no! i guess not
search for "DATA" the temporairly popps there

there is a big difference as well. windows 10 is just blown up over the years. 11 has got half the data to handle by doing the same stuff

Eh it still doesn't work. Doesn't have "Active" anywhere. I tried DiskPart and set the partition to active but no go. About to eat then should try one more thing...

is your partition-schematic GPT or MBR?

u cannot "activate" GPT anymore. MBR is for old PC or HDDs (OS) only

otherwise execute these steps


Press WIN + R to open the RUN box, type diskpart.
In the opened window, type list disk.
diskpart lists all installed disks; type select disk ###
Type list partition.
Type select partition ###
Type active

Still, just sad I had to say goodbye to MS oses after 25 years. My first was DOS 3.2. My last was Windows 8.1. Still have it, and will occasionally use it until it expires.
Good luck MS, I wish you well.

Do you not have a spare hard drive? Would be easy to experiment of you do..

Good idea, where can i get Windows 11?

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Thanks for the link, I used to be part of the Insider but left like a year ago.

I used the 22000.51 iso for my own install from there.

Dang Germany and there hacks lol - At least nowadays Germans can speak English. My last name is German but can I speak it... No but I wish "Honnoll but here they spell it with Honnel / Honnull ha (Just a funny thing on my past at school)

again. it is an OFFICIAL summerelaese in europe. it is not allowed in our country to link illegal stuff as well

i am a judge in criminal trials. i will not put myself on the slaughter bench by committing a crime!

"Reliability. Devices upgraded to Windows 11 will be in a supported and reliable
state. By choosing CPUs that have adopted the new Windows Driver model and are
supported by our OEM and silicon partners who are achieving a 99.8% crash free
experience."

So what happens with older CPUs that don't support the new Windows Driver model?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I'm sure turning off some features would alleviate some crashes
In just 10 disabling gaming mode for example.

 

[Shrek]

Not that I care, I'm riding on W11 insider on my daily driver anyway lol

Risky, yes; but how else to really test it?

 

[plastiscɧ]

i am running it since 09.06.2021. no problems. just supress your craving to modd it pointless. let it just work

I'll bet it will keep working, unless they introduce some change in the core that depends on these newer generation CPUs. It also depends on AMD and Intel providing the necessary drivers for other non-core CPU functionality to work (AMD provides drivers for their security processor for example). Also this:

"To meet the principle, all Windows 11 supported CPUs have an embedded TPM, support secure boot, and support VBS and specific VBS capabilities."

Maybe they plan to implement these VBS capabilities to a degree that the OS will not run correctly or it will under-perform unless you're running one of the officially supported CPUs?

Or maybe it depends on some little known instructions that are only supported on these recent processors? Windows 10 had this issue:

x86-64 CPUs must also support CMPXCHG16B, PrefetchW and LAHF/SAHF instructions.

Go tell some guy that they have to look up if their CPU supports these instructions.

Microsoft hasn't been exactly forthcoming about this whole deal.

Risky, yes; but how else to really test it?

Agreed. Though it's a tall order if you do critical stuff on your main PC and completely understandable that people don't want to test it in such scenarios.

Do i have to unplug my other SSD''s when installing windows 11?

 

[plastiscɧ]

Do i have to unplug my other SSD''s when installing windows 11?

no as long as they are filled with data. just erase the /C: (system drive). you will be asked anyway which drive you want to use

 

[Splinterdog]

My earlier post about Win 11 running with TPM disabled is moot. This is because the Insider Preview apparently waives that particular requirement, at least according to another tech friend of mine.
But I have come across an irritating problem which I have reported, namely:

This is because it's updating with older drivers in spite of disabling hardware driver updates. This can apparently be fixed by using Wumgr but I haven't had any luck yet.
