Update to Windows 11... Still no start?
Update to Windows 11... Still no start?
After launching, I delayed upgrading to Win because it didn’t seem necessary. Today I decided to go ahead and upgraded, only to face the usual crash issues. The Windows update confirmed the PC was compatible with Win11, but the BIOS was fairly recent and UEFI setup worked. After a few minutes of installation, the system wouldn’t reboot properly—it showed a message saying it couldn’t find a boot drive, even though the drives looked fine under BIOS. It eventually restarted and reinstalled Win10 smoothly. What a surprise from Microsoft!
Microsoft isn't liable for any actions you take with your system. If you encounter a virus or malware, restoring Windows is the only solution. A/V just eliminates them without fixing the damage. Using a registry cleaner means you're responsible again. Relying on pirated software also places the blame on you. If your system was overclocked, even if it seemed stable before, new changes can affect CPU and memory performance, leading to issues. Installing third-party apps is another responsibility on your part. Many variables influence the outcome. I assure you that if your setup isn't overclocked, your motherboard's QVL should include memory, and a fresh Windows 10 installation with updated drivers, followed by an upgrade to Windows 11, should resolve everything. When so many people face no issues, it suggests something may be wrong on your end. Consider looking into the matter rather than assuming a typical Microsoft problem.
Urgently... My system has stayed stable for months. Windows licensing includes full virus/malware protection (Defender+Malwarebyte). No reg cleaner needed and no pirated software is installed. It meets all MS requirements for Windows 11 using their tools, so crashes aren't guaranteed but are unlikely. Upgrading to Windows 11 is refusing to start, but it rolls back to Windows 10 briefly and functions again! Probably a personal issue, as many users have experienced this before. I suspect the dual boot setup might be the cause. I could try reinstalling from an installation media, but I need a new USB drive.
