WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.759 Windows 11 is now available to the masses but what if the software you use 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.360 doesn't support it what if it's buggy or what if something goes wrong with the 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:13.840 update process and borks your whole computer 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.240 don't fret because we're going to show you guys the proper process to perform 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:22.640 the free upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 including backing up all of 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.480 your data and with the help of acronis and their cyber protect software we're 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.960 going to show you how you can update temporarily with the ability to 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.280 completely undo it if you don't like the results 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:35.280 i mean what could go wrong 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:50.320 before we can even think about running Windows 11 we're going to need a system to install it on so to stand in for your 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:56.160 average home computer we've got Jake's test bench it's nothing crazy 16 core 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.719 ryzen 9 59 50x 32 gigs of 3600 mega 00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:03.199 transfer tridensy zeneo memory a 2080 ti and a two terabyte NVMe SSD okay it's a 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:05.280 little crazy but you know Jake 00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:08.000 he doesn't settle 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.720 nothing but the best for Jake look the important part is that we've 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.320 got some critical documents okay we've got some family photos we've got some 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.640 programs on here and we don't want to lose any of it okay we've got some 00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.520 family photos here none of these people are my family are 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:32.799 these just are these just talk family photos or something 00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:35.439 royalty free excellent uh oh uh oh got 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.439 the nudes 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:39.680 i love your cat 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.159 now fooling around in order to install Windows 11 we need to make sure our pc 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:51.520 supports tpm 2.0 microsoft's new hardware security requirement what is 00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:53.920 tpm well in short it's a hardware device 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:58.000 that provides the system with a safe and dependable place to execute 00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:02.320 cryptographic functions like for disk encryption or for safe boot to check if 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:08.319 your pc supports it microsoft has a handy little tool called the pc health 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:14.480 check tpm 2.0 must be supported and enabled on 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.080 this pc more about enabling tpm 2.0 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.160 according to this our system supports all the other requirements so it's just 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:25.120 a matter of figuring out if and how we can enable tpm 2.0 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.239 to find out if we have support for it we could google it but we are going to just 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.800 go straight into our BIOS by going into the recovery menu and clicking restart 00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:39.360 now under advanced startup from here we click troubleshoot 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.360 advanced options 00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:45.920 ua5 firmware settings you can also just restart your pc 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:49.680 normally and mash the delete key or whichever key it is to get into your 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.879 motherboard's ui5 BIOS but this way you don't have to worry about missing this 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.959 prompt it'll go straight in there the setting we're looking for here is called 00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:01.360 ftpm on most ryzen boards and it's usually in the advanced menu on Intel 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:06.239 platforms it's usually under advanced then trusted compute or trusted platform 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:11.599 module and we were pretty darn sure we were going to find it here because all 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.840 ryzen cpus past first gen do support tpm 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:19.840 2.0 and the same is true for Intel platforms past 7th gen so let's go ahead 00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:19.840 and 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.080 yay ah 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.840 no this is for when a new CPU is installed 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:35.280 let's go ahead and just do that window update we got our system we 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.720 verified it's compatible we just go ahead and 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.280 okay this is actually not a problem we just need to check for updates again oh 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:48.239 my god it totally doesn't go away but this is exactly the kind of thing that 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.000 gives people anxiety about performing a major update like this i mean even going 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:56.239 from Windows 10 to a different version of Windows 10 there have been situations 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:00.000 where people have ended up with a bricked install so they gotta put all 00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.200 their applications on again which is a real pain in the butt or even worse than 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.439 that a complete loss of data so it is 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:13.120 always recommended that you back up your data before performing any kind of major 00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:18.239 operating system upgrade like this one especially if it's done by a company 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:22.320 that can't seem to synchronize pc health check results with the Windows 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:26.960 updates i mean it's not exactly confidence inspiring is it this is where 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:30.479 acronis comes into play since the last time they did a sponsored 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.639 video with us some things have changed what used to be a kronos true image 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.040 their backup software is now a cronus cyber protect home office so no more 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:43.040 paying for antivirus from one company back up from another company it's 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.000 everything backups antivirus malware protection 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.280 all in one right away when we jump in we're presented with the backup menu 00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:52.400 which is exactly what we're looking for the software gives you a ton of 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:56.320 customization options you can backup the entire system a specific disk a specific 00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.639 folder heck you can even cryptographically certify backups kind 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.040 of like a notary would certify a document in real life for our purposes 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.280 we want to make a complete backup of the system so if for whatever reason we 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.039 decide we want to go back to Windows 10 or even migrate our install to a 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.440 different machine or to a virtual machine in case we wanted to go back and 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:21.039 grab stuff but we probably won't need it we can do that you can see here we've 00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:26.400 already set up a backup to acronis's cloud service and i'm just going to go ahead and synchronize it they include 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.080 500 gigs of storage with the advanced tier and a terabyte with the premium 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.960 tier so we'll be making use of that you don't have to use the cloud storage 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:37.520 though you can back up to an external drive a nas a separate partition on your 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.720 system drive if you have extra space or all four if you want now that our disk 00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:45.680 scan is complete you can see it's synchronizing all the changes that we've made since we last backed up that's 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:50.560 really important because if it was doing a full upload every single time you 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:53.840 would absolutely destroy the data cap on your internet connection 00:05:52.639 --> 00:06:00.000 so this is only going to take a couple of minutes here of course if you don't want to worry about data caps or you're 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:05.039 impatient the fastest way to back up is to an external drive that particular one 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.759 is a gen 4 NVMe SSD plugged into a usb 3 00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:12.160 10 gig port so this should be pretty darn quick let's go ahead and add a 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.840 backup change destination 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:21.280 volume d and let's go to options 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:25.280 exclusions and we do not care about backing up our steam games folder for 00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:30.479 example so we're not gonna bother with that you know what 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:32.479 okay this is a total weird edge case but 00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:36.960 there are particular games you may actually want to back up for example 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:42.000 with beadsaber sometimes they roll updates that break all my mods and so 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.080 it's nice to have my mods and stuff all backed up exclusions can be handled in a 00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:50.479 handful of ways for example by default it doesn't backup.tmp files because 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.240 they're by definition temporary and then we're going to go ahead and select our 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:58.400 common path because realistically if something goes catastrophically wrong we 00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:03.199 will just download our games again oh acronis survival kit allows you to 00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:05.199 restore your data even if your os fails 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.319 special partition that's bootable oh cool okay yes 00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:12.000 yeah i think i understand so basically it's just a bootable partition on your 00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:15.199 backup that allows you to restore your entire os without needing to reinstall 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.720 it that's awesome one small bug we found is that if you create a survival kit and 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.000 then try to back up right away without restarting the software it gets a little 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.840 bit confused because it just created a new partition on that drive uh we've let 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:32.080 acronis know and they're going to fix it though there we are now we're ready now 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:36.319 we're not going to get too deep into the options menu here because if you're a 00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:39.599 power user there are a ton of different knobs and dials that you can twist 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:44.880 according to your liking we're going to go with the default weekly schedule but 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:47.039 i mean you can tell it hey upon shutdown 00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:51.360 for example run a backup super cool we're just going to go ahead 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:55.039 and put our exclusion back in here we really do not want to wait around for 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:57.919 that to back up and then under advanced we're going to go to backup protection 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:02.000 and we're going to encrypt the drive because it costs us basically nothing 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:06.639 and it means that nobody else is able to poke around in our backup where you're 00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:09.759 going to use aes 256 encryption 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:11.440 this is wow that's a lot faster than uh 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.599 backing up to the internet it's going at two and a half gigabit per second now 00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:20.000 that the backup's complete we can see the file on the drive and as long as we 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:24.800 remember our password open it up and browse it 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.000 so if there's anything that we wanted to grab and carry over to our new install 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:32.880 even if we decide we are sticking with Windows 11 we could absolutely do that 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.279 like these NVIDIA display drivers for example 00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:40.800 very important i'm glad we included these unfortunately Windows update is still 00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:43.599 not offering us the upgrade but that's actually good because it gives us an 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:48.720 opportunity to show you guys the workaround if you have a tpm 2.0 and 00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:52.800 otherwise compatible system and for whatever reason you're not able to get 00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:57.760 the update through Windows update just search for the Windows 11 installation 00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.480 assistant and download that 00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:04.560 it's like imagine being the team whose job it is is to clean up the mess of the 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:09.600 Windows update team right like you create this entire tool 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:15.279 with this entire team of people just because those other tools and that team 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:20.080 couldn't make their tool i know i know i know i know but if you 00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:25.120 the point is if you want to have a button to say force check for it it should just be in Windows update 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.959 this is going to take a bit but while we wait let's talk about what happens if 00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:35.279 you don't have a tpm 2.0 enabled processor well your first option is to 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.040 ignore microsoft's recommendations and install Windows 11 anyway 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.519 using the official iso which is available on microsoft's website you can 00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:47.360 actually bypass the requirements as long as you are doing a fresh install it's 00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:51.200 worth noting that microsoft does not support or endorse this method so you're 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:56.240 on your own if anything goes wrong another option is you may actually be 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:58.160 able to install an add-on physical tpm 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:02.320 on supported motherboards this would mean that you would meet the tpm 2.0 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.279 requirement but it doesn't necessarily mean that your CPU would magically be 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:11.600 supported so we'd recommend doing your own research here finally you can always 00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:15.600 just do nothing Windows 10 is going to be supported by microsoft all the way 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:20.000 until october 2025 so you have nearly half a decade to upgrade to a compatible 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.720 system down the line or switch to Linux you know like me get 00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:29.120 subscribed so you don't miss that series of videos one fun little hack see how 00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:33.120 it's going way faster now if you type delivery optimization into the start 00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:37.680 menu you can pull up this settings page where you can allow downloads from other 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.800 pcs nearby not necessarily even on your local network and it'll just go like 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:45.200 way faster and here it is 00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:51.360 Windows 11. now to be clear under normal circumstances i always recommend a fresh 00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:55.600 install but the subject of the video was how to 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.600 upgrade right now 00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:58.880 it's working on it 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:04.480 yeah with the 16 core CPU don't worry Windows 11 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:08.560 fast it should be noted microsoft does have 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:14.800 their own backup solution built into Windows it's just that 00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:17.120 it's i don't know if you don't have anything 00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:21.920 nice to say don't say anything at all the best part is after all that 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.959 we get to sit through this now what was it doing the whole time 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.640 obviously the first thing you do when you get a new window set up including a 00:11:26.959 --> 00:11:35.279 big upgrade like this one is make sure you've got all the latest drivers particularly for ryzen processors AMD 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:37.040 actually released check this out today a 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.200 chipset driver update that fixes a scheduler issue that was causing ryzen 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:45.519 cpus to uh not have very good performance in 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:49.920 Windows 11. and we've landed we got that new sexy center start menu if you're 00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:54.240 into that sort of thing i gotta say the muscle memory is 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.160 gonna kill me on this one wow it actually like has some idea what you 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.600 might actually be looking for okay do you have team viewer on here because if 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:08.639 i search for teams it'll t-e-a-m-s on my computer 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:08.639 upstairs it'll find team viewer instead 00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:14.320 okay this is awesome yeah immediately i mean 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:20.000 i was expecting it to work because basically Windows 11 is a Windows 10 00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:21.040 update on like roids but 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:25.600 it worked that's great now let's show this okay this is cool so 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.959 if you hover over the maximize button you actually get all these different 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:33.040 options for how you want to maximize you can be like oh i want to put it here 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:39.120 and then maybe i'm going to put this one here and we're going to put this one here 00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:40.560 cool right but can you do like diet you 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:44.079 can yeah i clicked the two buttons and it 00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:48.959 went to a corner okay 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.480 that just changed my life oh auto HDR 00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:55.360 that's what we wanted to do okay so let's use HDR 00:12:53.760 --> 00:13:00.399 and then let's hope yeah it doesn't look like absolute poo poo the second we do 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:01.120 that which is great auto HDR here 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.200 we go nope that's definitely working in a 00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:08.079 window you can see it dimmed everything around it 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:14.639 yep and let's just watch something that's not an HDR 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:19.279 and it looks very normal wow okay 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:24.959 oh this is huge when i'm duplicating my display because man i have had some 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.680 situations where i'm duplicating my display for some reason and then 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.200 notification comes up and it's like confidential information from like 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:35.519 microsoft teams speaking of microsoft teams this is really dumb 00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:39.839 if you click the sign in button and then you enter your work account 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:42.800 it just tells you your password is wrong which is not a useful error see i'll 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.880 show you here we go ready that's definitely the right password 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:49.760 your account or password is incorrect if you don't remember your password reset 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:53.680 it now but that's not actually what you need to do what you need to do is get 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:57.279 microsoft teams work or school that's right the integrated microsoft teams is 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:02.480 not the other more different microsoft teams 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:06.880 that you need for your work account so you know what then let's say i'm so 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:10.639 angry about that that in spite of all the coolness and i'm definitely going to 00:14:08.959 --> 00:14:14.800 upgrade to Windows 11. in spite of all the coolness i hate it i want to go back 00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:19.680 to Windows 10. let's show that so we'll pull up our 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:23.360 acronis cyber protect home office and 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:27.199 let's go find our backup here let's jump over to the recovery tab 00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:30.560 entire pc recovery this action is irreversible all current data including 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:35.760 documents and applications will be removed okay do you want me do you want me to back it up then 00:14:34.160 --> 00:14:40.800 okay yeah fine we'll back it up that way if Jake needs to get any not destroyed 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:45.040 screen cap he can do that with this install that's actually interesting i 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:49.519 wonder how smart it's going to be like is it going 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:53.920 to go oh this is a different os and create a completely new backup or is it 00:14:51.199 --> 00:14:58.399 going to go oh i recognize a lot of this and just do an incremental backup now 00:14:55.839 --> 00:15:02.639 it's time to head over to the recovery pane so we're going to recover our 00:15:00.079 --> 00:15:07.519 entire pc rather than just files which we could also do or partitions or disks 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:10.880 nope entire pc and we're going to choose the version 00:15:08.880 --> 00:15:14.560 from 11 28 am and recover now this is irreversible all 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.959 current data documents and applications will be removed and changed by data of 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:25.120 the chosen backup alrighty then here we go let's restart acronis not 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.959 free obviously but if you're a techie who's performing upgrades for people and 00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:32.639 stuff like that man could this ever save you a big old 00:15:31.040 --> 00:15:36.560 headache like because you never know right what 00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:40.160 if you lose power in the middle of applying an update like stuff happens 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:43.920 even if it's not microsoft's fault we're back everything works 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:48.959 jumping right into our right into our gaming here the rocket league executable is missing 00:15:47.839 --> 00:15:52.800 because we didn't back up our steam games you 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.959 know what it doesn't matter the point is we were able to quickly and easily 00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:02.000 restore our Windows 10 installation like with a couple of clicks and that takes a 00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:06.800 ton of the anxiety and guesswork out of a big move like changing your operating 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:09.600 system so huge shout out to acronis cyber protect home office is a pretty 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:14.399 sweet product we're gonna have it
