With 24H2, Microsoft has also started making it difficult to update an already installed system. The so-called in-place upgrade places the same requirements on the hardware as a regular installation, and the update does not appear in Windows Update on computers that do not meet the system requirements.

However, the absolute system requirements such as the processor containing Popcnt and SSE4.2 instructions cannot be exceeded.
Rufus 4.6 Beta is also getting a few other changes, including one that makes using a local account a little easier. Local account passwords should typically be reset every 42 days. It can be turned off using the tool lusrmgr.mscBut Rufus saves users from messing with it.
