old Windows 7 pc

[supple scarab]

do you wana reinstall or update?

You can try enforcing it by running setup.exe from a mounted ISO. But honestly, I'd rather do a complete clean reinstall

Just download the Media Creation tool from the Microsoft website (link below) and when you opened it click "Upgrade this PC" (if possible)

Dose not work, windows 7 is broken and Microsoft wont fix or allow the download of the iso file without faking user agents 🙂

Setup.exe may work, I just flash a usb with rufuses old windows 7 vers, then use that to run everything

Yea I'm just trying to update it to windows 10, assuming that's the max it can go to

Sorry for late response by the way

[supple scarab]

you can use a hacky method to force windows 11 to work

because the "requirements" are suggestions

[hot lava]

What do I do when this happens?

This is where I just get stuck

It'll do the same for the Windows 11 file

[supple scarab]

yea

windows 7 cant upgrade without flashing the iso directly

so you have to fake your useragent

then download the iso file

then download a old rufus version from the github

then get a usb

then flash with rufus the iso to the usb (select mbr not gpt)

then boot that in bios

then select install keeping files in the menue after clicking through the options for install

well you can intall windows 10 but it will be a painful experience with HDD making it slow!... \

[true zephyr]

looks like you are using windows 7 32Bit ...not 64bit..

[hot lava]

I tried downloading windows 10 onto a USB and transferring it, but it says I still can't use the application to actually install windows 10

[clever rivet]

Do you have a 32 or 64 bit of current Win

[supple scarab]

No, you use a tool like rufus to flash it
