Then, start the setup and continue with the on-screen directions like the regular process.<\/li>\n<li>Alternatively, you can mount the Windows 11 24H2 ISO on File Explorer and run the <code>setup.exe \/product server<\/code> command to launch the upgrade process, bypassing the requirements.<\/li>\n<li>You can also perform an in-place upgrade with a USB installation media created with Rufus, but it will also require you to modify the Registry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>UPDATED 10\/7\/2024: <\/strong>If you already have a computer with unsupported hardware running <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-23h2-new-features\/\">Windows 11 23H2<\/a> or 22H2, it&#8217;s possible to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 in at least two ways using the clean installation approach or in-place upgrade process. In this guide, I will explain these two methods. If you have a device running Windows 10, I only recommend the clean installation method, not the in-place upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-24h2-new-features\">Windows 11 24H2 (2024 Update)<\/a> is the next major refresh of the operating system available for compatible computers starting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-24h2-release-date-2024\/\">October 1, 2024<\/a>, but since there are a lot of devices running <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a> on hardware that doesn&#8217;t meet the requirements, the feature update won&#8217;t be available through the &#8220;Windows Update&#8221; settings, nor users will be able to use the &#8220;Installation Assistant&#8221; tool or the standard USB bootable media created using the Media Creation Tool.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s still possible to upgrade by wiping out the hard drive and setting up a fresh copy of the Windows 11 2024 Update, or you can upgrade your existing setup to version 24H2 through an in-place upgrade. In my experience, the clean installation process is the best option since it will delete everything, including settings, apps, and files, which usually helps resolve existing memory, performance, and startup issues and minimizes the problems during the installation process.<\/p>\n<section class=\"custom-related-posts-wrapper\"><span class=\"custom-related-posts-heading\">Related<\/span><div class=\"custom-related-posts-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/upgrade-unsupported-pc-windows-11-25h2-without-reinstall-tools\/\" class=\"custom-related-post-item\" data-umami-event=\"related_inpost_clicked\" data-umami-event-name=\"Upgrade unsupported (24H2) PCs to Windows 11 25H2 without reinstall or extra tools\"><div class=\"custom-related-post-thumbnail\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/windows-11-25h2-ekb-upgrade-unsupported-pc-hero.webp?fit=300%2C188&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Upgrade unsupported (24H2) PCs to Windows 11 25H2 without reinstall or extra tools\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><span class=\"custom-related-post-title\">Upgrade unsupported (24H2) PCs to Windows 11 25H2 without reinstall or extra tools<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/section>\n<p>On the other hand, you can use the in-place upgrade, but since you will be using a computer that doesn&#8217;t meet the processor, memory, or Trusted Platform Module (TPM) requirements, you are likely to encounter more problems than starting up with a fresh setup.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that while you can proceed with the operating system setup, the computer will be in an &#8220;unsupported state,&#8221; and unexpected issues can occur at any time for any reason.

the Out-of-box Experience (OOBE), and your files and apps will be kept. However, the new setup will run in an unsupported state, meaning that you may be able to download system updates, but they won&#8217;t be guaranteed to work, and Microsoft won&#8217;t offer support.<\/p>\n<p>While this command works to upgrade an older version of Windows 11 to version 24H2, it&#8217;s important to mention that there will be times when it may not work, and you may end up with a message about the setup not being able to determine if your computer is compatible. You can try the command a few more times, but if it doesn&#8217;t work, you should try a different method.<\/p>\n<p>You can also follow these instructions in my video tutorial on my channel.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Windows 11 24H2: Upgrade Unsupported Hardware\" width=\"827\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5LUEnqGBMsM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have any questions, you can ask in the comments below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>(Optional) In-place upgrade using Rufus<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible to perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 using an offline installer created with Rufus on incompatible hardware, but you will have to run a few commands to edit the Registry before running the &#8220;setup.exe&#8221; file to launch the Windows Setup.
