Nerd Tips: Windows Update

[Rev.Cambeul]

If you are using any version of Windows from Windows 7 through to Windows 10, or you are using an older version of Windows 11, update now to the 2023 version with this upgrade:

This Windows version is 23H2 - 22631 - English International and Russian
 * You can upgrade without any loss at all
 * Upgrade with loss of software - but all files and accounts retained
 * Wipe everything and start again

Warning: If your system is English US, you only have the following options:
 * Upgrade with loss of software - but all files and accounts retained
 * Wipe everything and start again

If it's just downloaded files that you want to save, then upgrade. Whether you retain all installed software, settings and downloaded files, or it's just downloaded files, this version of Windows 11 is better than previous versions of Windows 11. I recommend getting it while you can.

After installation, there will be some useful Windows Updates coming. So make sure to allow Windows Updates.

BUT I WOULD NOT DO THAT!

IF you are already using Windows 11 ...
Download the Attached File below. Run it in Windows Powershell
I set it as a .TXT file so either rename or copy and paste into Powershell and Run
 * Reboot
 * Open With File Explorer
 * Run Setup

No more pissing about trying to find or hack or crack another version of Win11. Just use the stock standard Windows issue - or you can try:

Download - This is what I use: https://uupdump.net
At this time - Halloween 23, get Windows version 23H2.
Then you are covered for the next several years of updates.
MS has already discontinued supporting Win11 21H2 and all Win10.

Your Windows 11 will remain cracked until you run the attached Powershell file again.

The newer Windows 11 does run better on older systems. I use an i7 from ten years ago that MS barred from Win11 - but I do what I want. I also put it on my girlfriend's primitive system and that runs better than the original Windows 7. Of course, Linux Lite would run better again, but she now has two shitty old laptops, and one is for her security cameras which NEEDS Win11 - and as I said, works better than Win7. The other for just internet browsing runs Linux Lite.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Another way to Update Windows 11 - although I prefer the above version

How do I rip off Windows?

You get it from https://uupdump.net/known.php
Do a search for 23H2 and get the latest that works for your system.


What version of Windows 11 do I use?

With my 10 year old computers that I built myself, I'm sticking with 23H2 X64


My computer is so old, I have to hack the Windows Setup!

 There's Two Methods to Choose From:
 * Rename the file from skip_tpm_check.cmd.txt to skip_tpm_check.cmd and run it - with Admin Privileges

 * Don't rename the file. Open it, copy the text, open your favourite DOS window with Admin Privileges, paste it in and run it.

As long as the hack worked, you should be good to install Windows 11 as either an Upgrade or as a new operating system.


Upgrade Warning!

The purpose of a Windows Upgrade is to retain your Windows Settings and installed Apps and all Files, while bringing your system up-to-date and/or repairing System Errors.

If you do want to Upgrade your system, you must make sure your language selection is absolutely correct! Other languages are not really a problem, but English is. Don't confuse American English with British English/English International. Select the right one, or instead of Upgrading your system and retaining all your settings and apps, you will be FORCED into wiping everything and installing a completely new operating system.

Never pay the mud for something you can do yourself.
