Thinking about going to windows 11 but..

[↑↑↓↓←→←→BASelect]

I need to know if the Windows\SystemResources has these 3 files so i can modify them to add in or change the icons in them.
The files are.
DDORes.dll.mun
imageres.dll.mun
mmres.dll.mun

I modified these files to put in my own custom icons like live folders which i did by overwriting the originals in the mun files. I also added in my own custom drive icons and changed the icons in devices and printers. And also my a custom icon that comes up in this pc when i plug in my phone. So if these 3 file exist on windows 11 and can be modified after taking ownership of them then i will switch.

Also does windows 11 still allow free upgrade to windows 11 pro with a windows 10 pro key?

All three .dll/s are in the C:\Windows\System32 folder but none has the .mun extension. This is Windows 11 now.

I looked up the question about activating Windows 11 Home to Pro using a Windows 10 Pro key and the answer is "yes."

I would imagine you can update to Windows 11 pro directly by installing Windows 10 pro first and then going from there.

I'm on win 10 pro x64 version 2004 build 19041.450 right now. i never updated past this version because then i would have to redo all the mun files i listed as windows update replaces them files. And the files are in the Windows\SystemResources folder not system32 folder.

No, those .dll/s are in the folder I stated above. I'm talking about Windows 11. This is Windows 11. Here is a screenshot showing one of the .dll/s for the icon repository.

Good luck.

Weird that windows 11 got rid of their SystemResources folder in the windows folder. Maybe i'll just stick with windows 10 since them files are not there on win 11 and can no longer customize windows to my liking.

I would keep 10 for as long as possible. It's a hassle converting to 11 plus 12 is on the way supposedly.

My pc is dual boot by accident. It came with 11 installed. I needed to keep 10 for app compatibility reasons so I installed 10 on a separate drive. Now when the pc starts I can select either o/s. No extra licence was needed.

You're far behind when it comes to Windows 10 so it's not surprising that the .dll/s are now in System32.

You can use your customized icons in later versions of Windows 10 like 22H2 or Windows 11, they're very similar. You open Settings/Personalization/Themes?Desktop Icon Settings (have to scroll down). You can use the "browse" function to navigate to your folder of custom icons.

Windows 11 is not as customizable as 10 is. But custom desktop icons are def. doable--you can see various example by looking around and searching.

I know some people don't want to hear this but you can extend security updates windows 10 to 2028 provided you're willing to pay for it after 2025.

All I had to do on two of machine was press the go button in Windows Update, no hassle at all (well, aside from a bit of coaxing to get 10 to see the TPM after I re-enabled it…) :P
