ask your IT department. if you're working with the IT department, get your supervisor's/higher management approval to do so.

#

this is more a matter of business approval rather than the ability to upgrade.

#

Yeah most likely grub will be replaced with WBM

is it your own personal computer?

maiden heart
#

Or rather, I want to say that they spy

jagged pine
#

and then, why are you misusing an organization device like it's your personal device?
if you didn't include that info, may I don't have to remind people not to misuse devices that you don't own.

The government computer was given to me forever and I don't know if I can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on that computer, although Windows Update made me upgrade from Windows 10 21H2 to Windows 10 22H2 without doing anything with it but that doesn't matter.

@jagged pine

#

I don't know if you understand me because I'm using Google Translate

jagged pine
#

just mention that it is yours next time.
I don't want people who're using organization device or possibly stolen device getting advise to do illegal stuff from this server.

which part of that you didn't get

On November 1, 2023, the delivery of government netbooks began and only fathers and mothers could collect them for their children.

if you've ran the health checker/done your research and found out your device is eligible, go ahead.
goto windows settings - > Windows Update -> Check for for update to upgrade

or download the media creation tool or ISO from the link given.

So will I be able to install Windows 11 on a government-compatible netbook? The bad thing is that Windows 11 will steal 64 GB of space from me and I have 124 GB of storage space on the Windows 10 disk, but I have another operating system which is Linux and I plan to eliminate Linux from my netbook to get more GB and thus be able to install Windows 11 without losing almost any GB

just say "my computer" JoyGonnaAscend
if Windows 11 is too big for the drive, then don't upgrade.

#

You'll need to reconfigure the Linux bootloader if you upgrade your Windows.
Windows 11 will definitely rewrite the boot configuration.

maiden heart
#

If I upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10, will Linux grub be replaced by Windows Boot Manager?

jagged pine
#

yes, you may delete the linux partitions AFTER the upgrade to Windows 11.
don't do it before upgrading Windows to Windows 11.

#

@jagged pine If the screen goes black due to deleting Linux partitions, I have no problem because I have a purple pendrive that is used to install Windows 8.1 and after having Windows 8.1 installed, I will download the Windows 10 or Windows 11 ISO file to convert my pendrive purple at boot to be able to install the Windows that I lost or the latest version of Windows 11

jagged pine
#

you can also clean install if you want to

#

first make sure that the device has OEM Windows license

#

run this to find out
wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey
don't paste the result anywhere. just tell us if there's any value returned

#

by the way, the Windows 11 upgrade will update the Windows bootloader to be able to load Windows 11.

#

you may lose the ability to boot linux, not your windows.

maiden heart
#

I understand, and that result you gave me is for the command prompt?

jagged pine
#

yes. run the command in command prompt

#

if you have oem license, you can install windows 11 without needing to enter the product key

maiden heart
#

If I run the command you gave me, is it to see the license or is it to make some change to the system?

jagged pine
#

you'll see the OEM product key

#

don't show us. just tell us whether the result is blank or it has something.

#

grub will be replaced with windows boot manager, if you want it back, reinstall linux or grub

jagged pine
#

also you should keep or write it somewhere in order to use it in the future, if your laptop have

signal gale
maiden heart
jagged pine
#

okay you have OEM license then

signal gale
#

the version of internet explorer present in 8.1 barely works

jagged pine
#

you can upgrade to Windows 10 or 11 if you want to

One more question for you to answer and I'll leave you alone.

signal gale
maiden heart
#

How can I install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account? If I run out of internet, can I still use Windows 11?

#

@signal gale

signal gale
#

simple

#

in the microsoft account screen, enter just 'a' as the email

#

'a' as the password

#

no quotes

maiden heart
#

I understand, so if I do that, the option will appear to create a local account?

#

@signal gale

signal gale
#

once you do those

#

it should say

#

"Oops!
someone has entered the wrong password too many times
|next|"

maiden heart
#

If I click next, where can it take me? @signal gale

signal gale
maiden heart
#

I understand, last question and I'll leave you alone. Can Windows 11 be used without an internet connection? @signal gale

#

Well, thank you very much to you and @jagged pine

jagged pine
#

all the best @maiden heart

remember it's your computer now BlobPain
