Windows 10: My home network does not appear in list after upgrade to Windows 11

They're is a long list of available wifi networks showing, but not mine. Every other device in my home is on my network. Haven't seen this specific issue solved anywhere. Also, I used my cell phone as a Hotspot and that did show up.

We suggest checking the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your laptop.

Please follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo.
• Go to Settings (gear icon).
• Select Network and Internet.
• Then Wi-Fi.
• Make sure the Wi-Fi radio button is On.
• Select Show available networks, then you'll be able to see the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Update us with the outcome so we provide further assistance.

 

Windows 10 Upgrade - my wireless network isn't listed after hibernate (but other networks are)

Hello,





I suggest you to run the Network troubleshooter and check. It is an automated tool which can find and automatically fix some common networking problems. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.

• 
  In the search box, type Troubleshooter and then click
  Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Under Network and Internet.
  
• 
  Click on Network adaptor and Click on
  Next button.
  

I suspect that the issue is with you router, therefore I suggest you to contact your ISP and check.



Hope it helps.

 

Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro

Thanks much, Dave, indeed it was a big job.

Clean install of Windows 11 from a bootable USB helped to Activate the Pro.

Just to summarize what was done:

1. Took backup of the drives and save some on cloud.
   
2. Installed the Media creation tool app as you suggested (Download Windows 11)
   
3. Connected the USB and ran the application and downloaded the Windows 11.
   
   1. additional thing which I had to do is to install WLAN driver to the USB in advance, to have the WIFI option available as it was required to connect to a network to download the latest windows features while reinstalling the Windows, and Wi-Fi option was not available.
      
4. Turned off the 'Secure boot' from the BIOS menu.
   
5. Changed the 'Boot Order' in the BIOS menu to first use the USB Boot.
   
6. Saved and Exit, which triggered Restart and Windows installation.
   
7. During the network connecting stage to install the latest updates and features - 'Let's Connect you to a network', I opened the CMD (Shift + F10) and ran than WLAN driver exe to install it and then I was able to connect to my WIFI network.
   
   1. Optional to this step is to BYPASS the network connection stage by following this - bypass "lets connect you to a network" - Microsoft Community
      
   2. Then, doing that manually once Windows has been installed.
      
8. Once everything is set-up, I followed the suggestion from this again, and it worked - Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro - Microsoft Community
