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

Hi,
Yes you don't want any sludge installed on another ssd or storage devices.
After installing 11 you can connect what ever you want too.

I wouldn't share files though on a storage ssd/..

Then i think i am aborting the mission, i have a SSD installed behind the GPU and i am not willing to remove the GPU just to test windows 11 :laugh:

I thought that it was enough to swap one of my hdd 2.5 with the 860 and then install windows 11 on it.

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:
View attachment 208324
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.

What about uninstalling the old drivers and then installing the new ones? Through Device Manager or update history (in control panel, programs and features, installed updates) if it's available there?

Hi,
You could disable the m.2 in bios first.

Well, there's no an option in the bios to disable it.

Well i took the plunge and unplugged all SSDs and left just the M.2, plugged the 850 EVO and installed Windows :shadedshu:

There is not the option to change the Taskbar Size so did it via Regedit but trzing tomake it smaller got me this:

Not that easy to see the old drivers and yet again I had to reinstall the latest Radeons for the RX 580 and fingers crossed, that may have done the trick.
By the way, has anyone seen the size of Windows.old? I'm hanging on to it in case I want to roll back.

the size is correct. 120000 files more than the win11
note: if u do not roll back in 10 days the win old will deleted then automatically.

Thanks for tip, but I'm not really bothered if that happens since it was new Win 10 install the other day anyway and I'd start from scratch.
By the way, where did you find that info about ten days?

As said before, that's normal. Though it's definitely an increase from Windows 10 days, that folder used to weight "just" 20 GB or so.

Which, btw, it's already gone in my system

Good grief that hiberfil.sys. Seriously, you need to disable Hibernation.

The file explorer design, you mean? If you're on the 22000.71 build, it should be enabled by default. Previous builds didn't if you had "launch folder windows as separate process" enabled.

lexluthermiester said:

I actually set the size manually to 16 GB, which is my system's current RAM capacity. It's not like I use it often, but sometimes I prefer to have it ready for use. Also, in the past I sometimes encountered issues when hibernating if hiberfil.sys wasn't big enough. My C drive is not even half full so I don't really mind

I am just preparing a new guide to mod and make all the new and shiny Windows 11 symbols visible in Windows 10! Without the need to switch the OS for all the persons who are not willing or can't install it by various reasons! But nevertheless they want a new and fresher look. And ofc why not deserving it..?

Here are more examples.

The Thread will be published in the Software section. soon

hiberfil.sys / hibernation is not that big. its maximum size of your installed ram.
pagefile.sys is in parts the problem if not set up the right way or from various reasons blown up to the moon.

or what u mean?
