When will Windows 11 come to Predator 500?

Title basically. My friends with other manufacturers' laptops are enjoying their W11 for some time now -  Predator 500

Does the healthcheck tool show it as supported? If so you should be able to force it by running the health checker, then heading to start -> update and the banner should appear saying that the win 11 upgrade is ready

You don't have to wait. Just download the file here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

But won't it break anything? I was under assumption that if I can't download W11 yet then Acer didn't test Windows 11 yet for my laptop or didn't optimize it or something like that. Also, will all my data stay if I update it this way?

I have no idea what is this healthcheck tool you're talking about but when I go to Windows settings -> Updates, it says on the right side that my device is compatible with Windows 11 or something and there is a green tick icon.

Mido96 i would wait a couple of years for them to fix all the major bugs before even trying win 11 even 10 still breaks everything plus 11 its even more aggressive stealing your data for selling because thats what MS does and why its pushing everyone to 11 as they pushed to 10 (which most of us found how to disable all the MS spyware or most of it) its up to you anyways and if you care about your privacy i stopped caring about mine long time ago as im blacklisted everywhere my data was leaked multiple times over the years welcome to the spamming world xd

Which Predator 500 model do you have? There have been a bunch of them. If Windows Update says you are compatible that's a very good sign. I'd wait for WU to offer the download to be fully safe, but you can likely go the forced update path with success also.

It should work. But you need tpm 2.0 too.

This laptop does have TPM 2.0. Okay, I will wait then :F

OK, so likely a PT515-51-xxxx model. That's why WU says your compatible, you have an 8th gen CPU which gives you TPM 2.0. I expect Microsoft just has your model queued up in the list. They release to the list when they've verified the hardware is OK, then push to systems on the list as server loads allow. There have been a bunch of people who jumped the line by manually installing and that loads the servers up, so as they go through the first models adding more models in will be slower than when the initial surge has died off. You are likely just fine to do a manual install right now, but there's no real reason to unless you need to be an early adopter. I put it on three of my machines and all the rest are still on 10. One of the machines I put it on is generating BSODs fairly regularly, so I'm thinking seriously of rolling it back to 10.

So the update just dropped but I can't install it. Doesn't matter if I try to install it via windows update or with the assistent tool, I get the same error - 0xc190012e.

Any ideas other than wipe your system and install everything from scratch?

What is the exact model? Example PT515-51-58VH. Does the same issue occur, when you perform a cold install?
