I have an old Dell N7110 laptop. It has the latest BIOS, but does not have UEFI or support GPT. It supports only MBR. I'm pretty sure I can install 11 on a fresh install using Rufus that will bypass the UEFI, TPM, and CPU requirement, but can I do an upgrade from 10 to 11 on this same machine...

Got it to work. At the prompt for a DVD, I simply pointed to the ISO file again and it started.

It's on my Dell laptop running Windows 11 (Dell G5 SE 5505).

Could not get Bazzite to install and boot in VirtualBox. Tried twice with the same error - no bootable device

PM

So is Bazzite a standalone Linux distro?

When 10 ends next year, will they still issue updates for Windows Security?

Thanks for that. Mine came back as retail.

Dumb question: how can you tell if you have an OEM key or retail key?

Bump and a PM. I sent you $ for 1 last night.

Yeah I just got that same error on a laptop running windows 10 home; KB5001716 failed to install even after increasing that partition to >1 GB using mini tool partition wizard. I guess I'll just hid it.

Old fart here @68 yrs old, and sorry for my dumb question, but what are indie games? The last "new" game I tried playing was Doom Eternal. I liked the first 30 minutes or so of the game, but it got into too much jumping and did not feel like a Doom game. Most of my games I still have on CD/DVD...

I've noticed that it happens on Pro version. Haven't see the issue on Home version. I have that partition sized to 1 GB which should be more than enough and additional space, because knowing MS, they will come out with more updates that may involved that partition.

Thanks. Yeah I already sent him a PM.

Update: not having much luck with my original request, so now any 2.5 SSD between ~240GB to ~1TB in size.

Up

PM me your prices shipped.

At least 5.

Up you go

The solid state drives must have 90% health or greater remaining, and they must be between ~240GB to ~1TB.

LOL - I keep my systems as long as possible until I get a hardware failure that requires upgrading. I'm still on my current desktop system from 2016 that ran Windows 7. I waited until 2019 to install Windows 10. Still using it now because I hate reinstalling.

That is because there is not enough room on the RIGHT side of the partition to resize it. You have to grab space from drive C using the Extend option. Using the slider worked for me, even though I gave it more than enough space. Not a big deal because most hard drives are now large, so giving it...

I know why. I used the slider.

I got tired of it and just used MiniTool Partition Wizard to extend it to a little over 1g, then installed the update. The only option when extending the partition was 1g. I could not add just a few mb's with MiniTool.

I just ran into this on a fresh install of 10 home. I guess MS is working on a fix: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-working-on-a-fix-for-windows-10-0x80070643-errors/

Would doing a windows 11 "reset" option and keeping your programs and files work?

Does the free version of MiniTool Partition Wizard work, or do I need to purchase the pro version?

Old school here - mouse and keyboard only except for 1 game so far that required me to use a controller: Far Cry 5 for flying a plane. I tried it with a mouse and keyboard, but could never get the hang of it. It just seemed more natural using a controller and having a stick to fly the plane.

Kongar - what version of Linux are you using? I tried to run some older games (games that are greater than 7 years old) and never had any luck in getting them to work. As for Windows 11, I ended up installing Open Shell because I simply can't find what I want in the new facelift of 11. I have...

https://betanews.com/2023/12/06/watch-windows-12-2024-being-installed/ Why would they come out in 2024 with Windows 12 since 11 just came out a couple of years ago, or is this just BS?

Did you check for corrupt files? Open an admin prompt and run: sfc /scannow

There is always Dos Box software which I have used and works fine. https://www.dosbox.com/

I installed the replacement mobo with the same CPU and I did not have to re-activate. The mobo replacement is the same model number as the one I removed. The only difference was the service tag number.
