Windows 10 to Windows 11

For unmanaged machines, follow these instructions:

Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2171764

Run the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. It should check for requirements. If there are any errors or incompatibilities, take a screen shot and send it to coehelp@northeastern.edu.

If you receive no errors or incompatibilities, close the assistant and move on to the next step.

 

We recommend making sure BitLocker is off (if it is on) before you upgrade. You can turn it back on after the upgrade is finished. This setting can be found in Control Panel (Win+R then type control in the run box).
