doing these three things help us make more great videos for you so as I say you've tried to upgrade Windows 11 to the latest version which is currently 22 H2 and you're faced with this message so what do you do well let's just click on the close button first of all and that's going to take a few seconds to clean up and disappear off the screen so once it's disappeared we need to find the original download file so let's just go into the downloads folder and it should say something like win 11 underscore and then the name and then if you've downloaded the English International Version it will say English International if you haven't got it in there and you want to download it then all you need to do is just open up your browser so type in the address bar right at the top of the screen microsoft.com forward slash software hyphen download forward slash Windows 11. pause this video if you need to jot this down that's microsoft.com forward slash software hyphen download forward slash Windows 11 all in lower case and no spaces once you've done that press enter or return on your keyboard and if you've typed in the address correctly then you should see this screen here scroll down go down to the bottom section here which says download to Windows 11 disk image ISO for x64 devices where it's got select download click that click on Windows 11 multi Edition for x64 devices click download now and then we need to select the product language so where it's got choose one click on that and select your product language now mine was originally installed with English International so I'm going to select English International select whatever yours was originally installed with click on confirm and then it's validating the request there we go and once you see this click on 64-bit download there and let it download now this is going to take some time so just be patient with it if you've got a slow internet connection this could run into hours because the windows 11 file is pretty huge once it's finished downloading then what we need to do is we need to close down the browser by clicking on the cross in the top right hand corner and we need to go back to the downloads folder so if you've not got it up on the screen click on the yellow folder at the bottom of the screen there click on downloads from the left or the green folder there and then you should see in there win 11 underscore 22 H2 or whatever version number you've downloaded followed by an underscore and then the actual type of language that you've downloaded so the next thing we need to do is this is very important this bit we need to click on the three dots just up there to see more dots go to options okay go to view just up there The View Tab and then go to under hidden files and folders and we need to put a dot next to show hidden files folders and drives so just change that there so that the dot is to the left of that and we need to take the tick out of hide extensions for known file types take the tick out there click on apply click on OK and then the next thing we need to do is double left click on win 1122 H2 or we could right click on it and left click mount and then once we see this we want to copy all these files so hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and then tap the letter A A for Alpha hopefully once you've done that all of these should be highlighted in blue if they are let go of the Ctrl key push it again and then tap the C Key C for Charlie then let go of the Ctrl key click on downloads just on the left there click on the right Mouse button in any blank area go down to new and then across to folder left click once and just name that win 11. okay so just type win 11 then press enter or return on your keyboard double click the yellow folder win 11 that you just created so move your mouse anywhere over a blank area click the right Mouse button and then this menu should appear and then left click the paste or the clipboard just up there and let the files copy across this might take a couple of minutes so just be patient with it so the files have nearly finished copy and across hopefully only a few seconds once the copy box disappears like it has done there it's finished so you need to move your mouse over sources double left click and then scroll down and we're looking for appraiseries praise arrest not appraiser but appraiser res move your mouse over it click on the right Mouse button and then click on this little icon here the rename icon and just make sure you highlight the whole lot there including the dot dll click on the right Mouse button and then click on copy then just click away from it click on it again with the right Mouse button and then click on the bin now the next thing we want to do is move our Mouse over any sort of white area or blank area click the right Mouse button again click on new then go down to text document left click and what we need to do is we need to delete new text document and we need to delete dot txt once we've done that hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and tap the letter v v for Victor let go of the Ctrl key press the enter key and then it should say if you change a file name extension the file might become unusable are you sure you want to change it yes we are sure we have to click yes okay so we should see there appraiser res and the type should be application extension if it's text document then you've left the dot txt on the end if it's anything different then it's not a dll file so you need to in sure that it says appraiserres Dot dll and this here doesn't say text document the size should be zero KB so the next thing we want to do is we just want to put everything back to how it was in the settings from before so go up to the three dots up there left click once go to options left click go to view left click go to don't show hidden files folders or drive left click that and where it's got hide extensions for known file types put a tick back in that box there click on apply click on OK and then click win 11 just up there double left click setup and then when it says do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device make sure it says Microsoft Windows and make sure the verified publisher is Microsoft Corporation click yes and then set up starts and you'll get this here click on change how setup downloads updates click on not right now there we don't want it to download updates drivers and other optional features and I don't want to help make the installation better so make sure there's not a tick next to that box there click next and now it's checking your PC and getting a few things ready now before when it said checking your PC that is when that error message come up saying that the system wasn't compatible so we've got here applicable notes and license terms click on accept choose what to keep well making sure you're ready to install now so just bear with for a second this is going to take a couple of minutes so there you go it now says that Windows 11 is ready to install you won't be able to use your PC during installation save and close your files before you begin to recap you've chosen to install Windows 11 and keep personal files and apps so just before we click on the install button let's just check to see what version of Windows we're running so I've clicked on the start button click on settings and just to prove here we are running Windows 11 earlier version of 20 well 21.h 2 I think we're running yet 21.h2 we're running just there so let's come out of that click on install and we're gonna let it install so I'm going to pause this video now we'll let this install and we'll come back to it once Windows has upgraded so it's just doing the final parts of the update it's restarted a few times I'm going to pause this video again we'll come back to it in a few moments right so Windows 11 has restarted and updated let's just check these updated so I'm going to click on the start button and then go to settings click on that and let's once we've clicked on settings let's go to system over there and then scroll all the way down to about left click once on about and there we go at the bottom there it tells us there we're on version 22 H2 so what we need to do now is just do a bit of cleanup so let's click on the yellow folder at the bottom of the screen and once we've done that let's click on downloads just over there on the left or the green folder at the top and we can get rid of the win 11 folder now so just right click on it and click on the bin that gets rid of that and if you still got the win 11 underscore 22 H2 file we can delete that as well if you get this message this folder is too big to recycle click on yes let that delete and let's say if you've got the win 11 underscore 22 H2 ISO file there right click on that as well left click the bin and then left click yes and then for good measure right click on the recycle bin and empty your recycle bin and if you get a warning saying are you sure you want to permanently delete this file and it says appraiserres dot dll just say yes and there we go we can just close that window down and windows 11 22 H2 is now
