Switching from Win 10 to Win 11

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be getting new MB and CPU when I move to Win11. And I always do system volume image backups after I successfully update Windows so no problem there *Smile. Cheers!

 

Switching from Win 10 to Win 11

I suggest you do a drive image backup of your current win 10 drive. I had some issues with Win 11 and I roll back using the Win10 image. As you don't have a Win 11 supported CPU, you have to tweak the Win 11 installation files.

Would you mind giving these steps a try and then informing me of the outcome? Feel free to skip the ones you've already tried:

1. Basic Troubleshooting

1. Check System Time and Date:
   
   Ensure that the time and date on your computer are correct. Incorrect time settings can cause issues with the Microsoft Store.
   
2. Update Microsoft Store:
   
   • Open the Microsoft Store app.
     
   • Go to "My Library" and select "Get Updates" to ensure all apps are up to date.
     
3. Reset Microsoft Store:
   
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
     
   • Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.
     

2. Using Microsoft Account

1. Open Settings:
   
   • Press Windows + I to open Settings.
     
   • Navigate to System > Activation.
     
2. Switch to Windows 11 Pro:
   
   • Under "Switch to Windows 11 Pro," click "Go to the Store."
     
   • In the Microsoft Store, click the "Get" button to switch out of S Mode.
     

3. Advanced Troubleshooting

If the above steps do not work, you can try more advanced methods:

1. Reset Microsoft Store via PowerShell:
   
   • Open PowerShell as an administrator.
     
   • Run the following command:
     
     
   • Restart your computer and try switching out of S Mode again.
     
2. Reinstall Microsoft Store:
   
   • Open PowerShell as an administrator.
     
   • Uninstall Microsoft Store:
     
     
   • Reinstall Microsoft Store:
     
     
   • Restart your computer and attempt to switch out of S Mode again.
     

4. Disabling Secure Boot (If No Microsoft Account)

1. Access UEFI/BIOS:
   
   • Restart your computer and enter the UEFI/BIOS settings (usually by pressing F2, F10, Del, or Esc during startup).
     
   • Disable Secure Boot in the UEFI settings.
     
2. Save and Exit:
   
   • Save the changes and exit the UEFI/BIOS.
     
   • Your computer will reboot, and S Mode should be disabled.
     

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.
