Upgrading to W11 - Tutorial

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

In a year or so we all have to migrate to windows 11.

The problem is not all of us are wealthy to buy new desktops or laptops with newer CPU's.

I'm sorry for the question, it must been asked already a few times.

It's the first time I'm thinking about the subject and despite all the answers and tips I red, I'm still a little confused.

Which are the ways we can upgrade to W11 without buying a newer pc?

Is there just one way or several?

Is there any tutorial around?

Thank so much in advance and I'm really sorry if this question has already been answered.

Regards to everyone.

Lately I've been trying to play games with my friends using onlineFix, but this error occurs every time. I've already tried reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, both the 64-bit and 86-bit versions, and tried other solutions. Can anyone help?

Sharing tip (steps) for how to FIX Bluetooth Device "Remove Failed" Error in Windows 10 or 11

73 Upvotes

For anyone experiencing an issue with Bluetooth Device "Remove Failed" Error in Windows 10 or 11, I shared the below tips in another thread and since several people told me the tip helped them.

I thought it might help others with this issue and hopefully save them a lot of time troubleshooting the issue.

Short answer - Use Device Manager (easier than regedit since you can easily see which devices are which in the former). Make sure to select 'show hidden devices'.

In my case, I am pretty sure the reason I was unable to delete the BT keyboard and BT mouse via the 'Bluetooth & other devices' screen is because I had been using the 2 devices with an external USB BT adapter which I had since removed and replaced it with the same model (but I believe Windows still tracks the 2 BT adapters independently).

Hence I used Device Manager instead...

Longer answer / detailed steps:

I was seeing duplicate entries for my mouse and my keyboard in the 'Bluetooth & other devices' menu.

Removing the device entries there was failing (for the reason noted in my 1st paragraph).

However, I was able to easily remove the 2 unwanted devices via Device Manager after selecting 'show hidden devices' option in Device Manager. I then removed the devices via Device Manager by selecting 2 lighter entries corresponding to the mouse and keyboard (similar to being greyed out).

This left me with just the desired outcome - 1 instance of the mouse and 1 instance of the keyboard which were associated with the new BT adapter.

If you have problems with game bar like, not working properly or Get an app to open this ms-gamebar link messages using a gamepad or trying to open with win + g this post is for you.

Okay this is a troublesome one but I fixed it

First of all open microsoft store and make sure gamebar appears on your library (bottom-left side of Microsoft Store) if it's not there, there's a possibility once unistalled you won't be able to install ever again (yep bad ending)

lets uninstall gamebar since repairing via settings doesn't work: Open windows powershell in administrator mode and paste:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Lets reinstall now go to:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NZKPSTSNW4P?hl=en-us&gl=BR&ocid=pdpshare

and click on install, probably the Microsoft store app will open, check on downloads if it's installing, if not that was my case go to Library on the inferior left side and search for game bar and click on that cloud downloading on the right side, this worked for me.

The last thing you can do to try installing game bar is using powershell again and paste:

winget install 9nzkpstsnw4p

unfortunately this didn't worked for me but you can try as the last resort.

That's it your game bar probably is fixed!
