A reminder – note from this Lifecycle FAQ page about Windows 10 ESU in the “ESU Availability and End Dates” section:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates

*** The editions that qualify for the Windows 10 ESU include Enterprise, Education, and Pro in Commercial use.

Win10 Home edition is not mentioned for ESU

Why is x-64 nEdge installed in “C:\Program Files (x86)” instead of “C:\Program Files”?

it’s by “faulty” design of Microsoft, even on x64 based Windows
newer versions of x64 Google Chrome, on the other hand, no longer install in the “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder

I used this guy’s script to remove MS Edge, which is even better than using Revo Uninstaller Pro

looks like Microsoft has removed the Win11 upgrade info on installing Win11 on unsupported PCs:

I read the following:

I’d be very careful & cautious in using SpinRite as mentioned by this person:

also the CMOS battery size uses CR2032, commonly sold in most grocery stores and from popular brands like Duracell and Energizer

and yes, I have that “spudger” tool n0ads had mentioned; included in an iFixit essentials kit I ordered from Amazon several years ago

perhaps clear/remove browser cache & cookies related to MS Outlook, which should also “forget” the login data to Outlook

one good reason why I only do in-place upgrades using ISO installation media created onto a usb stick to perform such major Win10 upgrades from such an old version onto a recent version, and takes about less than two hours using that method (and about an hour or less on modern PCs). I NEVER do something like this using Windows Update.

From Neowin – Is Windows 11 free update for limited time only? Microsoft might not be so sure now

otherwise try a different USB stick with Rufus

not worth getting Windows Server 2022 as it uses a much different version/build number than Win10; Win10 updates are incompatible with Server 2022 and vice-versa.
so I’d lean towards what Susan has suggested.

Windows Server 2022 is based on the “Iron” codebase. It is similar to Windows 10 21H2, but its updates are incompatible with it.
