Today, the editor will take you to learn how to upgrade Thinkpad notebooks to Win11. I hope it can help friends in need. Here are the detailed and complete steps. Come and learn with the editor!
DEV channel upgrade
Open Settings-Update & Security-Windows Insider Program-Start.
If the Windows Insider Program is blank, right-click the Start menu and select Run "Windows PowerShell" as an administrator.
Execute the following command to modify the registry key, and then open the Windows Insider Program.
$path = "HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesDataCollection"
# Telemetry level: 1-basic, 3-full
$value = “3”
New-ItemProperty -Path $path -Name AllowTelemetry -Value $value -Type Dword -Force
New-ItemProperty -Path $path -Name MaxTelemetryAllowed -Value $value -Type Dword-Force
When participating in the Windows Insider Program, you need to bind a Microsoft account. If you don’t have one, you can register one yourself.
Select the relevant channel, here you can select the Dev channel.
If you don’t have a dev channel, go to the following registry and modify the corresponding values!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsSelfHostApplicability]
“BranchName”=“Dev”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsSelfHostUISelection]
“UIBranch” = “Dev”
"BranchName" and "UIBranch" cannot be found in the registry. Please join the preview program first and restart.
After the modification is completed and you restart, you will see in the dev channel that the red text prompts that it does not meet the minimum requirements, so don’t worry! Just check for updates!
When downloading and installing, it will prompt that there is no TPM2.0. At this time, open the c drive and locate the file C: $WINDOWS.~BTSourcesappraiserres.dll, delete it! You can skip tpm2.0 and continue updating!
If any prompts such as tpm or safe boot appear, delete the files in the steps directly! If you cannot delete them, close the prompt box first. Delete it again! If it still doesn’t work, end the corresponding process and then delete it. If it still doesn’t work, restart it and delete it again! If it still doesn’t work, stop installing it.
For safe boot, change it to Uefi boot in Bios. If you don’t know how, you can Baidu it yourself.
Next, check for updates in Windows Update and they will be downloaded automatically.
The above is the entire content of how to upgrade your Thinkpad notebook to Win11 brought to you by the editor. I hope it can help you.
