GeorgeJetson20 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I posted this is another forum but not sure if that was the correct one so reposting it here in hope someone can point me in the correct direction. I would like to update to Windows 11 on a specific Windows 10 VM (My server supports Win 11) but when I originally installed it with Unraid 6.9.2 the path to Windows 11 was not available. But because of this, upgrade now says Windows 11 doesn't not supported due to the hardware. What do I need change to allow this use the latest "hardware" so it allows the upgrade. I have other VM's with Win11 on the same server but I can't loose any settings (Programs/data) in upgrading. Is there a place here that shows those steps of how to safely do this? I would think it's virtio driver or Machine but I don't want to take a chance in corrupting this accidently by choosing the wrong setting. This might be very basic and I am just missing something. Again, I know how to load a VM with Win 11 but I don't know how to upgrade this Windows 10. Thanks for listening Currently running Unraid 6.12.10 Quote Link to comment
GeorgeJetson20 Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Kind of disappointed that in 2 weeks no one responded. Is this not possible? I am trying to wait for before doing something that might break the VM but since I didn't hear anything, either it's not possible, or no one can help Or Both Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Make a copy/snapshot of the vdisk and try, any issues you can always go back. Quote Link to comment
GeorgeJetson20 Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Jorgeb, I don't really know what to try is the problem. There is alot of software and licenses that are installed and it's going to be a big pain to start from scratch, but I will, if there is no other way. If you can give me some suggestions to try to do. It's weird thing because I created the VM with win10 with 6.9.2 before you could use Windows 11. Since then I have created several Win11 VM's but because this one says it can't be upgraded because of the Windows 11 requirements, i can't do it normal way but the PC does meet all the requirements.

GeorgeJetson20 Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 JorgeB, I did not have any success with this. I made backup then tried changing the virtio driver to .248 (the latest one available) - Started the windows 10 VM but Windows update says the machine does not support it (same problem). I have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot (because other VM's are running with win11 but because I created this Win10 prior to unraid supporting Windows 11, I am still stuck. Unless I am not understanding what you wanted to me try, but I though this was it - Please let me know if this is not what you wanted me to do. Quote Link to comment
Solution GeorgeJetson20 Posted July 21 Author Solution Share Posted July 21 Never Mind - I got it working - I had OVMF (but it needed OVMP - TPM) Quote Link to comment
