Hello,

I am looking to upgrade to Windows 11.

On the Windows site, I downloaded the file "windows11InstallationAssistant.exe", but when I run it, I get the following message: "required file not found. Please check that you have permission to write in the installation folder."

Can you please assist me with this issue?

Thank you in advance for your support.

    Hello,

    Do you have just one session on your PC?

    To update, use the tool to download a Windows ISO file.

    Beforehand, you can check Windows 11 compatibility with WhyNotWin11 to see if there's a setting to correct.

    https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases

    For the Windows 11 ISO https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows11

    Once the ISO file is downloaded, open it with 7-Zip and extract everything into a folder anywhere except directly on C:\

    https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

    Click on the setup.exe file that is in the extracted folder.

    Try the troubleshooter utility, and you can also try disabling and then re-enabling WU with StopUpdates10 and restart Windows.

    Try WU again.

    Hello

    Yes. One account only. It's the one associated with my Microsoft Store account.

    OK, thanks.

    I'm diving in. I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

    But on your first link, it starts off quite poorly at the very first point :-) : "1, Download SupportedProcessors<name>.txt".

    Am I downloading "WhyNotWin11.exe" from the link at the bottom of the page?

    Thanks

    Well, I've downloaded WhyNotWin11.exe and ran it. Everything is green, with the message "your PC is ready to receive Windows 11".

    That's a good start.

    I ran setup.exe, it's currently at "searching for updates" (46%). To be continued.

    Hello

    Installation completed, thank you for your help.

    I have other issues, but I will open another thread in the forum :-)

    Thank you

    Unable to activate Windows Update, which prevents me from updating and installing games (Minecraft for example). I opened another topic about this.
