Before the installation, first we need to disable Windows 11 installer updates to prevent new updates disable our unsupported machine patches making the upgrade impossible.

The installer would choose proper version of Windows depending on your current version of Windows 10. 

Windows 10 Home will be upgraded to Windows 11 Home, Windows 10 Pro will be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro and Windows 10 Pro for Workstations will be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro for Workstations.

Make sure Windows 11 USB flash drive was created using the same language you've used for Windows 10 installation e.g. US English is not the same as English International, otherwise there would be only an option to Keep personal files only while settings and apps would be deleted.

Click Install button to start the installation.

The installer would start the update process, which takes around 30-40 minutes to complete.

Step 9

When the installation is complete, you will see Windows 11 desktop with all your files, settings, apps, as well as drivers you previously had in Windows 10, so there is no need to reinstall these.

Step 11

Select Boot Camp Control Panel... option from the context menu.

Here you can select the default drive to boot the computer from. It could be either any macOS partition or Windows partition.

Step 13

Please note brightness control only works on default Apple Display (P3-600 nits) preset.

That's it. Enjoy!
