Windows 10: Win 11 upgrade process causes reboot failure

Well I have self inflicted a wound here and I am hoping for some help. I went to the windows 11 upgrade site and created an ISO for Win 11. I also created a bootable USB drive. I then downloaded the compatability checker and voila my CPU is not supported. I figured no issue I can just upgrade the hardware. Well now if I try and reboot, a win 11 setup screen comes up. If I hard power down and restart it boots fine into Win 10. Any clue on how to remove the WIn 11 setup from the reboot sequence?Thanks in advance

:)

 

Power Off and reboot

Thank you for your suggestion. I ran a WIN 11 update a few days ago prior to posting my problem online. It didn't help the issue. Question - the WIN 11 upgrade process did not include these steps I see in the link you sent to me. Should that concern me?

1. Select which media you want to use:
   
   Select ISO file then save the ISO file to your PC specifically on your desktop.
   
2. Once done downloading the ISO, kindly right-click on ISO then click Mount> then Click Setup.exe

laptop win 11 incompatible, but attempts to reinstall at every reboot.

I Know my laptop is NOT compatible with windows 11.

(I have no TPM2.0 option visible in bios)

My Processor

( Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50Ghz)

whilst being above min. spec,

is not currently supported either.

I therefore, obviously have NO intention of attempting to upgrade to Win 11.

The machine has other ideas !

Auto-download has already downloaded, and attempted to/failed to install win 11, multiple times.

Reading various comments elsewhere, At this point I should have been presented with the option:

"Do not install windows 11" .

I have not had this option, or I would have clicked on it !

I do still however need to download windows 10 updates, at least whilst still supported.

Automatic Downloads has been manually set to "off", in registry, and saved as such.

Machine continues to ignore this, and is constantly downloading updates, regardless.

Constantly Stuck in the following loop:

"Windows was unable to update to windows 11. Reboot machine to roll back update".

If I then hit reboot, and leave it alone to restart, it then stays on the updating (With timer spinning) screen for hours.

If I hold PWR Button, to kill it. then manually reboot, it then restarts without this loop.

I shouldn't need to do this every time I want to get in !

How can I get out of this stupid loop?

which update contains the windows 11 upgrade? There is nothing in the "Uninstall an Update" list, suggesting which one it is.

Can someone offer a step by step please, which DOES NOT include the usual "Pause updates" routine, as that method has been tried, unsuccessfully.

Regards.

 

How To Upgrade Win 11 Home to Win 11 Pro w/ M365 E3 Subscription

I recently purchased a new laptop, and it came with Win 11 Home. I wouldn't normally buy a new machine with the Home edition, however, I knew my M365 E3 subscription includes Win 10/11 Pro, so I thought I'd be able to upgrade it. No so, at least not yet.

My impression was once I register the laptop using my E3 account, I would then have the option to upgrade to Pro, but that doesn't seem to be possible for me. Admittedly, I'm very likely missing something obvious, but I do need help.

Here's the Trouble (and some add'l notes): I've tried everything I can think of to make this happen and I've read countless Microsoft Docs and community questions, but I continue to hit dead end after dead end.

Notes

• Added work account (E3) account in Settings and ensure the laptop is registered in Azure AD.
  
• Intune doesn't see the device and when I attempt to sync it with my domain, I receive an error which states, "The sync could not be initiated (0x80190190 Bad Request (400)". I feel like I'm missing a URL in a policy or need to create a policy, but I genuinely don't know.
  
• I created a Win 11 Pro install w/ a flash drive. Went through the process to upgrade, but never saw what I expected to see (request to authenticate w/ 365 account).
  

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions to:

1. Ensure I've done all the prerequisite steps in my tenant (registered with domain, managed by Intune if that's necessary, anything else).
   
2. Upgrade it from Win 11 Home to Win 11 Pro using my E3 subscription.
   

All I want to do is upgrade it to Pro so I can join it to my Azure AD domain. I don't want to buy a Pro license since I'm already paying for it. That's all.

Please help.
