Can Win 11 be upgraded?
I just changed out my motherboard, processor, and other stuff. I bought a new copy of Windows 11 but it won't install. I had a working bootable drive from before so I could still start up the computer with the new parts. Wish I'd known that beforehand. I wouldn't have spent money on the new software copy. Does this mean it's useless to me? I'm pretty sure I can update my programs and save them if I don't get confused here. Can anyone help me out? Thanks a ton!
The drive+OS from your old computer might turn on for a second, but it is not sure if it will work correctly next time. If you are trying to install Windows 11? Here is the guide: How To - A clean installation tutorial for Windows 11. This step-by-step guide helps you set up Windows 11 (version 23H2 or newer) on your PC. It can also help with older versions, though some screens might look different; most things will stay the same while you follow these steps to get a clean install going.
Thanks, I am going to check this out. I guess I'm going to lose some software? I already have backups of my files and I've written everything I really need to remember because I originally wanted a fresh start with all new programs.
The guide says you need to make bootable stuff. I bought a Win 11 flash stick for my computer. Is that okay?
