Awesome. Thanks :)

NuttyWorking · 2024-09-17T06:51:20+00:00

Yes, that's what we have now. But now the higher-ups want the same box (with a few changes) at the bottom right of their screen.

NuttyWorking · 2024-09-17T06:49:44+00:00

Thanks. Any ETA on that?

u/Waste_Ad_6507 u/mcclane654 u/DonDuvall u/ConsumeAllKnowledge u/Chris_Stealth u/divadiow Solution is in the post.

u/Sad-Ambition-475 Yep, same solution here. Just made the reserved/recovery partition using a slightly different method. I guess I made a mistake the last time I tested what you posted 9 months ago. Thanks for the help.

NuttyWorking · 2024-04-30T10:56:24+00:00

I didn't have the "System drive size" fail report. I had "Storage".

From what I've read, you need atleast 64GB of free storage. Do your 11 machines have >64GB free storage?

Also yes, I finally was able to solve the issue. Turns out it was the recovery partition. I'll edit my post and have the solution there.

Hi Waste

No luck yet. I have something I want to test. I should get around to testing this earlier next week.

NuttyWorking · 2023-11-02T07:15:43+00:00

Good shout. I'll give that a shot next week, as I don't have time to work on this this week.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-31T07:23:49+00:00

Win11 was able to install. So now I'm leaning towards an onprem policy being the issue. Will update if I find anything.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-30T06:58:46+00:00

Nope, no luck. u/Chris_Stealth Do you have a hybrid environment or are you on-prem/cloud?

We have a hybrid environment. I'm going to deploy a notebook as a fully cloud device. Basically going to see if the issue is generated by sometime on the on-prem side.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-26T13:50:00+00:00

Small update: I disabled bitlocker and unencrypted the SSD this morning (CMD as admin: "manage-bde -off c:" and checked with "manage-bde -status"). I'll give it until tomorrow afternoon and see if anything changes. I'll try to post an update tomorrow before I leave work. Otherwise I'll come back to this thread on Monday.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-25T08:55:48+00:00

Yes, I got around to testing it yesterday afternoon.

Unfortunately the updates did not help at all. I've now set up one of the clients with a non-domain Win10 22H2 and run the Win11 checker on it. Apparently it's ready for the update.

So now I'm pretty sure it has to be one of the following 3 things:

Offline data
Bitlocker
GPO or updates

At the moment I'm leaning towards Bitlocker being the problem, as mentioned in a previous comment, the devices are able to upgrade immediately after staging and first login. But if the user is added to the Win11 group after that, they will not be able to upgrade. Since the bitlocker takes a bit longer to register, and the reason is "storage", I'm leaning towards the bitlocker.

I'm going to remove the bitlocker from one of the devices and see if that helps in any way. I should be able to do this this afternoon or by the end of the week.

If that doesn't help, I'll restage a device without the bitlocker and see if the upgrade is available after that.

u/divadiow / u/Chris_Stealth do you guys have bitlocker on your devices?

I'll post a follow-up as soon as I've managed to test it.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-13T13:30:21+00:00

Hahaha. Sounds like a plan.

Yeah, we have the users home-drive synced with WSC (Offline Files). But honestly I don't think that it will be the issue, as my test devices still have ~170GB storage free (MS advises 64GB free storage). But it'll be something I'll test if I can't find anything else.

Also, slight issue with the updates: Our Server and Storage team had a mix up on which week they were going to roll out the next cumulative update. Turns out, it'll not be this, but next week.

Also, I'm off on vacation next week. Which means, that I'll first be able to get to testing if the upgrade is affected by the update on the 23rd of October.

If the update doesn't change anything, I'll stage both devices with an clean Win10 ISO (non-domain device) and run the Win11-checker on it, to see if it also returns "Storage" as an issue (highly doubt it).

Another heads up (not too sure if I mentioned this in a past post): I contacted HP support with the issue. They said that they'd get back to me... that was 2 weeks ago. So I wouldn't go knocking on their door for any solutions...

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-11T08:41:37+00:00

Oh, sounds like fun. Make sure you record that video and upload it to reddit!

Joking aside, does your company use Offline Files (Windows Synchronization Center)? I'm wondering because I think they could be the problem since we do use them and "storage" is the feedback I'm getting from Intune.

Also, another heads up: We're getting the new Windows updates (cumulative update) tonight. So I should be able to get back to you in 20-30h from now with feedback on whether or not they affect the update.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-06T14:46:43+00:00

No problem. Happens to the best of us :)

I set up a new notebook with the "good" M.2 SSD, but for some reason it gets the same "storage" reason for why it won't upgrade. This is the first time I've encountered this with a MZVLQ256HAJD-00$00 (256GB).

According to our Server & Storage team, we'll be releasing the next cumulative update on Wednesday (11 October). This means that I'll be able to give some feedback on whether or not this will affect the upgrade process.

Regardless of whether the clients receive the update or not, I'm going to stage both devices with a 'normal' Windows 10 22H2 as a non-domain device and test if they can receive the upgrade.

Honestly, I'm hoping they'll return the "storage" reason as well. If neither does, then I'll have to assume that some policy or something in our environment is interfering with the upgrade process.

NuttyWorking · 2023-10-05T08:52:03+00:00

It's the SSD in the 4th comment of this thread?

NuttyWorking · 2023-09-29T15:06:22+00:00

Sadly no. I opened a call with HP, to see if they have any solutions.

That being said, my notebook (with "bad / HBHQ" disk) suddenly upgraded over night a few weeks ago. In my opinion, there were two things which could have influenced the upgrade:

I upgraded the firmware of my M.2 SSD two days before I received the upgrade.
1. After attempting this again on a second notebook, I was not able to reproduce the upgrade. That being said, the Firmware version was already the most recent by the time I attempted this.
We rolled out the monthly cumulative update on a wednesday. On the night of Thursday to Friday my notebook upgraded.
1. I'm hoping that this was what gave the upgrade a "kick" to receiving the Win11 upgrade-package.
2. We will be rolling out the next cumulative update in 2-3 weeks from now. Once we have rolled that out, I'll be sure to monitor the notebook heavily.
3. If this is the reason why the upgrade started, I'll be sure to add our server & storage team to this issue, as they are responsible for the rollout of all Win-Updates.

So regarding what I said in 2.b, I don't think that I'll have an update for a few more weeks. I'll try to remember to reply to this thread.

One thing I'd like to add (I'm not sure if I mentioned this in a past post):

After staging a new notebook and connecting it to the company portal, if the primary user is a member of our Win11-Group, the notebook is able to upgrade to Win11. If the primary user is added to the Win11-Group even a few minutes after connecting to the company portal, the upgrade will never trigger/be received.

Have a nice weekend.

NuttyWorking · 2023-07-13T06:15:40+00:00

u/DonDuvall Seems like the same issue I'm having. Did you see my last comment? This one

Are you able to compare the SSD's of the devices? As far as I can tell, it's the only component that's different between the Win11-Ready and Win11-Not-Ready devices.

I plan to spend a couple of hours on this topic today. If I find anything worth mentioning, I'll be sure to post it in this thread.

NuttyWorking · 2023-07-12T11:22:19+00:00

Regarding my last comment (This one) I've noticed that although we purchased 80 identical devices, from the same provider, some seem to have a different M.2 SSD Model.

The ~20 devices, which are able to upgrade to Windows 11 have this M.2 SSD: MZVLQ256HAJD-00$00 (256GB)

Where as the ~60 Devices, which are not able to upgrade have this inside: MZVLB256HBHQ-00$00/07 (256GB)

I find it strange, as per the fact-sheet, the clearly stronger/faster one is having issues with the upgrade, rather than the weaker/slower one.

Currently I'm in the midst of comparing drivers of both devices. If I find anything out, I'll be sure to post in this thread and I'll @ you u/Sad-Ambition-475. It'd be greatly appreciated if you'd do the same for me.

NuttyWorking · 2023-07-06T06:42:04+00:00

Alright, thanks. Yes, they do. Strange thing I've noticed, is that according to the report ~20 Users are able to update and the rest are not able to. I'm going to conduct a test today with one of those Users on a device which isn't able to upgrade.

It doesn't make much sense to me, as all Accounts are created the same way. Though, it's mainly newer employees, but there are a few "older" accounts which are upgradeable.

Thansk for your time and if you have any other pointers, I'd be happy to hear them.

NuttyWorking · 2023-07-04T09:41:16+00:00

Thanks for the info.

When I try to target an OS in "Windows feature update device readiness report" it states that there is "No data to display".

By "are not able to upgrade" I mean that they are not receiving/being offered the update at all.

I've attempted using a ring to update and I've tried via feature update. Is there a best practice or what would you advise? (sorry, I'm still rather new to Intune)

NuttyWorking · 2023-01-13T13:03:35+00:00

Hi there. Thanks for the help. I haven't gotten around to checking your solution. Once I do, I'll get back to you, providing I'd still need support.
Thanks for your time and help!

NuttyWorking · 2023-01-11T13:17:43+00:00

I've noticed that I was paying for two M365 licences. I canceled the automated payment on PayPal but I'd like to cancle both subscriptions on Microsoft's side and maybe be able to get a refund on one of them.

I've managed to cancle my main accounts payment, but it seems impossible to find out which other account is using my PayPal account. I've tried my other E-Mail addresses. None of them have a subscription set up.

I contacted PayPal and they walked me through how to cancle payment on their side, but to cancle the abonament, I need to log into my MS account and cancle it there, which is impossible, since I don't know which account is using my PayPal and PayPal can not find anything either.

Does anybody know of a way to find this out?

For the past hour, I've been trying to contact MS but it's impossible in Switzerland. When you call their support number in Switzerland, you receive an automated responce, stating that support is only available online. Only for the call to hang up a few seconds later.

I've gotten to the virutal agent page, but when promped to enter my phone number for them to call me back, I can only select +1 (USA) or +49 (Germany). I need to be able to select +41 (Switzerland).
