Problem with in place upgrade Windows 10 to win 11

[kiki456]

Hi all,

I have a problem with upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on an unsupported PC. I'm performing the upgrade through an SCCM server. I have already done the installation on unsupported PCs more than 20 times, and I know that I need to add a registry key to ignore the unsupported CPU and TPM and this always working.

reg add HKLM\System\Setup\MoSetup /v AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f

In the log, it can be seen that it successfully read the bypass from the registry, but the reason for blocking is still the incompatible CPU.

I have tried running "sfc /scannow" and "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" and there are no errors.

"Run ComponentsScanner" also does not find any errors.

I tried deleting the Software Distribution folder, but it didn't help. I also tried upgrading through the Windows Update Assistant, but I received an error saying that the system cannot be verified as compatible with Windows 11.

The upgrade from Windows 10 20H2 to Windows 10 22H2 went smoothly, but even after that, the upgrade to Windows 11 is not successful.

Attached are the setupact.log and setuperr.log files

Hi,

Since this is not an issue with Windows Update because the installation of Windows 10 22H2 went well. I moved your thread to the Windows 11 section, so that other forum users can respond as well!

Personally, I do not recommend installing Windows 11 on systems which are not suitable for it.

You are also using the Enterprise version of Windows 10, probably in a company's domain? You should therefore take into account that you may run into issues in the future, with monthly updates or feature upgrades to newer builds when you are running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.

Have you deleted the C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\appraiserres.dll file from image you're using to upgrade with? This is used to be an old compatiblity bypass technique which worked with older versions of Windows 11 but Microsoft changed it in later builds so the file had to be present. One of the newer techniques - and I'm not sure if it still works - was to create an empty 0KB version of the file and replace the one in the folder with that.

When installing Windows 11 on virtual machines, I've had to edit the following registry key during the setup wizard:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig

You'll need to add an additional value called BypassCPUCheck and set it to 0x1. Ultimately, I agree with @Maxstar, you shouldn't really be bypassing the compatiblity requirements because Microsoft could very easily push a new feature update which is dependent on certain firmware and processor features being present.

I deleted C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\appraiserres.dll, but it didn't help... I installed on more than 20 unsupported computers using the same method, and it worked fine. I believe the problem lies elsewhere, but I can't figure out what it is from the log.

Please read my post carefully, you can no longer delete that file, you need to add an empty version of that file. This was changed quite some time ago now.

Yes i read carefully...(Where i must edit this on iso media or C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\appraiserres.dll ). I can try manually upgrade from iso.But i didnt do this on other unsupported model. I only add registry bypass reg add HKLM\System\Setup\MoSetup /v AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f and worked.
I trying upgrade over sccm server.
