  1. Why can't my PC run Windows 11?


    The guy at the store he said my PC was super-fast when I bought it, but I got an email from windows today telling me end of support for Windows 10 is approaching. That's good because I never really like much of Windows 10 to begin with, there were too many ads in the start menu!I would like to go back to Windows 7.My specs of the PC are: Device Name OffciePCProcessor IntelR CoreTM i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHzInstalled RAM 64.0 GBStorage 954 GB SSD Samsung SSD 970 PRO 1TB, 932 GB SSD Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB, 3.64 TB HDD ST4000DM004-2CV104Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    Annoying This PC can´t run Windows 11 message

    Hi folks I´ve got an older laptop here I´m using which I KNOW won´t run W11 and don´t want to even attempt to run it on as the default OS -- and W10 will still be current for a few years yet so why on earth every time I go to update W10 I get that stupid message
    Why can't my PC run Windows 11? 355096d1639819369t-annoying-pc-can-t-run-windows-11-message-upd.png
    Surely there ought to be a user selectible option --> check if PC is able to run W11 or similar. Does it mean now we will have to see this message for ever on older computers that have no intention of having W11 installed on them. !!! (That said though I've installed W11 as a test via boot from VHDX physical disk note NOT a VM and using Dism /apply-image from a W11 iso downloaded from UUPDUMP and it does install and work on this same machine BTW -- but that's another issue -- I should be able to bootW10 and update normally without the annoying message). Cheers jimbo

    "this pc doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run windows 11"

    If the PC Health Check app says your system is compatible with Windows 11, download the Windows 11 ISO and do an in-place upgrade. See How to run In-place upgrade in Windows 11.

    If the setup fails, please share your setup logs on OneDrive. Follow these steps:

    • Open the "C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\" folder.
    • Select the two folders, "Panther" and "Rollback" (if present).
    • Copy the two folders to the desktop and Zip them.
    • Upload the zip file to OneDrive/Dropbox/WeTransfer.
