Windows 11 General Discussion

looks like windows is slowly becoming linux
but at least everything works straight away out of the box

No.

Wait, what? Are you talking about the Start Menu? Or is it the new terminal feature?

A question for those that have more knowledge than me about Windows.
can i do Windows triple boot?
I have never tried it before.

 

[theFOoL]

To my knowledge no. Each big update kills grub or vise verser

I have thought that having 3 copies of Windows installed on 3 different SSDs it would give you the choice which one you want to boot

O in that case then yes. On mine I have WiN7, WiN10 and WiN11. Though I have my back ups and each big update on 11 it kills my WiN7 boot so I have to recover my backup but no big deal. I recreate WiN7 on a weekly basis

I have W10/W11 dual boot, i got a new NVMe so i can install W11 on it and keep the second copy of W11 just for test purpose when a new update is released.

I have Windows LTSC as well. Currently doing Go Editions for All OS's 7/10/11/LTSC with WiNtoUSB

On the same drive? With GPT its technically possible, but not recommended. Through the motherboard/system boot select with multiple drives? Sure, easy breezy! Just a word of caution, as you install each OS, disconnect the drives not being installed to so that the installer does not have a chance to tamper with the boot record of the other drives. Windows Setup is notorious for this.

To my knowledge no. Each big update kills grub or vise verser

Only if you leave the alternate drives connected to the system during each installation, thus my warning above.

 

[theFOoL]

Yeah I been told the same. Unplug each drive when installing OS

 

[FireFox]

On the same drive?

Nope

3 copies of Windows installed on 3 different SSDs

The first W11 installation i forgot to disable the main SSD and i assume that you already know that the W11 bootloader ended up on the W10 SSD

so it's still uknown when it will be released to the public?

They say in Oct I think...

My Go Edition... (Going for 11)

Edit 8/31: Having trouble creating a ISO and the WINpass11 was a Failure at least I think not enough space 32GB?!

6:08AM - It worked! Thanks to IMGBURN. Creating Go with WiNtoUSB on my windows 7. I'll probably be uploading the image to share if it works. File name will be WiN160

HaHaHa

They have publicly stated "Holiday Season". So who knows. I don't think even they themselves know.

 

[Hugis]

Update on my qx9650 system, got the .168 iso used winpass11 and it updated the old girl to said version( was using an early 11 Dev build) works well - as quick as 10 I'd say , few niggles with some odd hardware I have (emu0404 PCI card and usb wi-fi dropping out)

 

[theFOoL]

So far it's uploading guy's say I guess 5hrs or Less. File called WiN160 - Windows 11 but as you are connected (via Setup) It'll update to 168 and my storage is a 32GB "29.7GB" on Windows 11 Go Edition with 6.38GB Left

After clearing the updates/Ccleaner my storage free is 10GB. Now to backup the Drive

I'll Link the Reg file to bypassTPM upon setup if one wants it. In the setup hit Shift+F10 enter Regedit the Inport the Reg File

Even as stubborn as they are, I think they're still gauging public reaction to all the shitfest going on. Plus they probably want to make sure there are few bugs, so if they see a rise in reported issues they might delay the actual launch a bit more.

Right

My 2.5" 512gb sata ssd is on its way out, so today i went and got a WD blue 256gb M2. How do i either clone the install off the 512gb ssd (used space is about 65gb) onto the 256gb M2 or grab a upto date win 11 iso and create a usb stick that will install onto my uefi and secure boot enabled system, as it is fully win 11 compatible. Basically Disk 1--->Disk 2

thanks

? As in it's dying? If so, how did you diagnose the problem and arrive at this conclusion?

There are a number of utilities that can help you clone or migrate to the M.2 drive. I can walk you through it if you'd like.

I keep getting failed boots on it, once no boot device error, drive was there in bios, so was other drive connected by sata, so controller was ok, rebooted same thing. no boot device. this morning same thing, went into bios, drive was gone, took it out of caddy, so it's now loose and rebooted fine. How can i trust this drive now. Since i have the M2 installed now i may as well use it, 256 is enough for windows.

As for Cloning, i have tried Macrium, but keep getting a not enough space if i try going from the ssd to the M2, even though there is more than enough space on the M2. If i have to i will clean install.

I'm guessing i will need to delete both partitions off the M2, which is fine, it seems to have an old 500mb recovery section

what does HWInfo say? I could link my Active@101 - DiskAct if one wants... just use RuFus

Rufus will not do secure boot, as my system is fully win11 compatible i might as well keep it that way. Is 6500 hours on a lot?

RuFus does GPT to
