@Mapleleafs2024,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Here you go: Windows 11 22H2: Upgrade unsupported hardware - YouTube.

 

Works A-OK.

 

Kind Regards,

Hi, @Mapleleafs2024 

 

If the method that NonSequitur777 posted doesn't work for you...I have a fleet of about 12 HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's and that only worked on about 1/4 of mine, you can read this discussion on how I got most of them to do an in-place upgrade from W11 21H1 > 22H2.

 

Re: Issues upgrading to windows 11 - HP Support Community - 8517912

 

Even the method I used did not work on a couple of them, so I had to use the bootable USB flash drive I made with Rufus to clean install W11 22H2.

 

That worked fine.

 

One caveat on the clean install of W11 22H2...Microsoft now requires an active internet connection and a Microsoft account to continue setting up W11 after it is installed.

 

There isn't any way to bypass that as far as I know.

 

You can set up a local account on W10 and W11 21H2, but on 22H2 it is no longer possible.

 

So, I used my Microsoft account to set the PC up and then created a local account and deleted my Microsoft user account profile from the PC.
