Why do you recommend to disable Bitlocker? Wouldn't it be better to have an encrypted drive? Also, if we do disable Bitlocker, can we enable it manually after the rufus/windows install?
@memstechtips 9 ай бұрын
Bitlocker is a pain, especially if you're going to clone the drive with Windows on it to another drive at some point. Of course if you want to protect your data, Bitlocker is really good, but I still wouldn't enable it when creating the bootable usb drive. You can always encrypt the drive with Bitlocker after your Windows installation yes, that would be the better option in my opinion. But basically, it comes down to personal preference, I don't like Bitlocker.

I have an old PC Compaq presario , it has 4 gig ram and 500gig HD. I have once tried to use even windows 10 but it couldn't take it because I guess it doesn't have the capacity. Do you think this approach will work seamlessly in installing windows11

You can try it using this method, but I suggest you install it on an SSD. It will be very slow on a HDD.
@omnymisa 5 ай бұрын
Am a little outdated on these kind of practices, a question after you have it all set up and ready to proceed to install, do you have the option for just to upgrade or is it mandatory to format the disk?
@memstechtips 5 ай бұрын
You can select the same partition where Windows is currently installed which will then put all of the existing Windows files in a folder called Windows.old but Windows 11 will be installed as a fresh installation and you can get the files from your existing (or previous installation) in the Windows.old folder on the C: Drive, but all of your apps and programs will be gone. Hope this helps.
@snaz388 3 ай бұрын
plus unless you're doing a complete PC rebuild (like me) formatting isn't necessary. But if you're changing mobos, gpu and cpus then having a fresh install and new drivers saves headaches down the line, It's just that extra mile you can go to save yourself the stress and panic if the time comes.

Have you tired the Windows2Go option? I have a Windows2Go (Win10) on an external nvme drive, but it cannot be upgraded from within that (installer will say that W2Go instances cannot be upgraded). So I am planning to use Rufus to do a clean Windows 11 W2Go install.

Great video. Why didn't you choose to download the Windows 11 image through rufus, though?
@memstechtips 7 ай бұрын
Thanks! To be honest I don't really have any particular reason, I just always download the ISO files from Microsoft Directly. I have them saved on my computer because I work a job in tech, so I guess it's because I'm not used to downloading it every time I create a new bootable usb flash drive, because I have the ISO files saved. I guess it would've been better for the tutorial though, maybe one for the future.
@smazzy1878 7 ай бұрын
@memstechtips it downloads the iso image to a hard drive on your computer and then installs it to the bootable usb. You can either keep the iso image or delete it to save space. I only mentioned it because i wasn't sure if you knew about that feature, and it really streamlines the process. either way, great vid and very informative at that.

@memstechtips 9 ай бұрын
It will work on any pc, the only thing you have to keep in mind is the age of your target pc, if it's an older computer, you will probably need to use the MBR partition scheme when creating the USB flash drive. If it's a newer computer, then the GPT partition scheme should be fine. Let me know how it goes!

Any idea if windows 11 23h2 still works for the older versions of Rufus? I only have access to Rufus 3.22 on windows 7. Is the windows media creation tool iso fine to use? It's 5.2gb instead of the 6.2gb from the direct iso download.
@memstechtips 7 ай бұрын
I'm not sure if Rufus 3.22 will work, but you can try using it. I think the issue you'll have is that you can't skip the hardware requirements with Rufus 3.22, but I'm really not sure, you'll have to try. Using the .ISO file from the Media Creation Tool is also fine, not sure why there is a size difference though. If you haven't seen yet, I have a Windows 7 to 10 Upgrade guide and a lot of people has had success in upgrading their PC's to Windows 10 using my guide. You could upgrade to 10 and then to 11 or install the latest version of Rufus on Windows 10 to create the Windows 11 bootable USB flash drive. I'll link the guides below.
