Tried to upgrade to win 11. And now my computer won't boot

[Ed5455]

HP pavilion x360 convertible m3-u001dx.

  Someone please help me, ok.. so this is what exactly happened, when I tried to install windows 11 from windows 10 it said (couldn't update system partition) so I downloaded a partition tool, I extended the system partition from 100mb to 400mb, it said I needed to restart then it would put it into effect, so I did, and it started to do its thing, and it said successfully extended partition, then when it finished my screen turned black  and I got the blue screens to troubleshoot and all, I went into the command prompt and  by googling how to wipe and format your hard disk to try and save it, I cleaned it and formatted it successfully, no ow I'm stuck with it just going straight to this when I start my laptop now... BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND, PLEASE INSTALL AN OPERATING SYSTEM ON YOUR HARD DISK. HARD DISC ( 3FO) F2 SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS. I did all kinds of checks and diags I can, everything passes... Do I just need to install windows 10 from a USB drive? Or is that not even the problem? The SSD is only a few months old, no damage to my PC, does it only need what it's telling me? It just needs me to install windows 10 onto the SSD somehow? And how would I do that if that is the problem...     If anyone can help, that would be amazing and thank you Soo much for any help, thank you and have a great day.

Hi:

Yes, it sounds to me like you will need to reinstall W10.

BTW, Your notebook's processor is not supported for W11.

Use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...

HP Consumer PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool (Windows 10, 7) | HP® Customer Support

After you get W10 reinstalled, if you want to take another shot at upgrading to W11, here is what you can do...

First make this registry change...

https://www.hellpc.net/how-to-bypass-tpm-and-cpu-requirements-windows-11-upgrade-unsupported-pc/

Then download the Windows 11 ISO file (3rd option), not the W11 installation assistant.

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

Then open the file with Windows explorer, and click on the setup application.

To do that, right click on the ISO file and select 'Open With' and select Windows Explorer.

See the screenshot...this is what you will see when you open the file with Windows Explorer.

After you double click to run the setup application, you will get this window, and you can now upgrade to W11.

You just have to accept the agreement that comes up during the upgrade process about your PC not meeting the requirements, etc., etc..

My unsupported W11 PC's got all of the W11 updates. 

I have upgraded 5 of them to W11 and they seem to run a little better on W11 than they did on W10.

However, I don't know how long they will continue to get all of the updates, or what will happen when the new build of W11 comes out next year in October.

Thank you Soo much first of all for taking the time out of your day to answer my question I think that's really awesome.

  Here's where I'm at now, I don't have another computer and large USB stick, and I need more space on my laptop, I thought the 240gb Kingston would be enough space, well actually I had a computer repair shop install an SSD for me when I really didn't know what I was doing, but now I know more, I've opened my laptop myself and have upgraded the memory and replaced the battery myself, saving me lots of money because that man charged me $250 for what I now know is a $27.99 SSD on Amazon, so his install labor cost basically my 250-30 USD= feeling ripped off lol ?, now I know I could have done it myself under $40 I believe.. including shipping. 

  So I realized after not having a computer for a while, that I need more space, games are not 8gb ish anymore, they are big, after my apps and 1 install of Apex legends, that's just 1 game, I had a little under 60gb left lol.

  As I was searching for a USB with windows 10 or 11 on it to purchase... I came across a 500GB PNY SSD with windows 10 on or 11, 3 games installed which I'll play,  and office 2019 For $79.99 on Facebook marketplace. I'm thinking about getting the windows 10 one and then just update to windows 11??  In case the one with 

Windows 11 does not work on my PC for some reason idk, unless you think it would actually work, but I was thinking just to play it safe, get the one with windows 10 and get a few decent games that they listed which ones and I like them, and it's 500gb which will give me  more space that I need.

so I was just about to buy it tonight maybe so I can have my laptop back and stop staring at the bios and ways to boot, because I was actually looking up on YouTube if I could boot from an SD card from my phone lol by downloading the Microsoft media creator and sticking the SD in my computer, and going into bios to change the boot order to the USB and see if it reads my SD card hahahaha.. because again I don't have on hand a USB with 8GB or more or access to another computer to make the USB stick from win media creation tool.

  So if I can't get the one with win11 I'll just get the one with win10 and just follow the steps you showed me, thank you very much for that.

  Oh and the site I'm buying it from off of Facebook marketplace is called...

zpcgaming.com

It's a custom PC build shop with good reviews out of Ohio, they sell those SSD's with windows, 3 games and I think office 2019 if I'm not mistaken, 

  Thank you very much for your time ☺️

Do you think this SSD would be ok to buy and being that my i3 Intel processor isn't a required processor to run win11, should I stick with the win10 SSD or get the win11, thank you 

 i could really use the extra space too, I have a 240gb only right now because the guy charged me alot to put it in, but I'll just put this in myself, it's not hard 😊

You're very welcome.

I've never heard of a drive coming fully loaded like that.

PC's all have different hardware and it is not a 100% guarantee that the drive will boot up in every PC.

I guess it would be OK as long as it boots up after you install it.

Worst case scenario is you have a 500 GB SSD and you can use the cloud recovery tool to reinstall W10 on it and then use the method I described above to upgrade to W11.

You will need to buy a 32 GB USB flash drive to use the cloud recovery tool.
