Not just an Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper script with ingenious support for business editions, A powerful yet simple windows 10 / 11 deployment automation tool as well! Windows 10 ---------- [MediaCreationTool.bat](MediaCreationTool.bat) works just as well as before, not having to deal with install checks annoyances.. Windows 11 ---------- [MediaCreationTool.bat](MediaCreationTool.bat) creates 11 media that will **automatically skip clean install checks** setup.exe will not automatically skip upgrade checks - launch the included `auto.cmd` instead! For a more reliable and future-proof experience, clean installation is still handled via _winsetup.dll_ patching in _boot.wim_ upgrade is now handled only via `auto.cmd` with the */Product Server* trick Just ignore the *Windows Server* label, please! Note that [Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd](bypass11/Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd) **will skip upgrade checks via setup.exe as well** Note that `MCT Defaults` preset creates a vanilla media without modifications! all others skip install checks Get RP/BETA/DEV 11 builds via Windows Update on allegedly "unsupported" hardware -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 1: use [OfflineInsiderEnroll](https://github.com/abbodi1406/offlineinsiderenroll) to subscribe to the channel you want _while on 10, use BETA for Windows 11 22000.x builds (release), DEV for Windows 11 225xx.x builds (experimental)_ Step 2: use [Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd](bypass11/Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd) to automatically bypass setup requirements _It's a set it and forget it script, with built-in undo - v6 using more reliable /Product Server trick_ Step 3: check for updates via Settings - Windows Update and select Upgrade to Windows 11 Note that [Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd](bypass11/Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd) **will work for manual upgrade as well** _regardless of mounted iso / usb media already having a bypass added or not_ If you already have an 11 ISO, USB or extracted Files and want to add a bypass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Use [Quick_11_iso_esd_wim_TPM_toggle.bat](bypass11/Quick_11_iso_esd_wim_TPM_toggle.bat) from the confort of right-click - SendTo menu switches installation type to Server skipping install checks, or back to Client if run again on the same file, restoring hash! **directly** on any downloaded windows 11 iso or extracted esd and wim, so there's no iso / dism mounting _defiantly quick_ works great with business / enterprise media since it comes with ei.cfg so setup won't ask for product key at start for consumer / core media you can add a generic `ei.cfg` to the media\sources yourself with this content: `[Channel]` `_Default` if setup still asks for product key, input gvlk keys found in media\sources\product.ini _gvlkprofessional=W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX gvlkcore=TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99_ _gvlkenterprise=NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 gvlkeducation=NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2 etc._ Presets ------- >1 **Auto Upgrade** with detected media, script assists setupprep for upgrading directly > _- can keep files and apps on more scenarios such as cross-edition setups_ > _- can troubleshoot upgrade failing by adding `no_update` to script name_ >2 **Make ISO** with detected media in current folder directly _(or C:\ESD if run from zip)_ > _- can override detected media by adding edition name / language / arch to script name_ >3 **Make USB** with detected media in specified usb target > _- can click Back and select ISO instead to save in a different path_ >4 **Select** with picked Edition, Language, Arch - on specified target > _- implicit choice, will include setup override files_ >5 **MCT Defaults** with GUI selected media, makes vanilla, default MCT iso/usb > _- no added files, script passes products.xml and quits without touching media_ >1-4 presets will add any setup override files to created media > _- can be disabled by adding `def` to script name_ > _- write `$OEM$` folder (if it exists) with post setup tweaks like `$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\setupcomplete.cmd`_ > _- write `sources\PID.txt` to preselect edition at media boot or setup within windows (if configured)_ > _- write `auto.cmd` to re-run upgrade with cross-edition support from media on demand_ > _- write `AutoUnattend.xml` in boot.wim to enable local account on Windows 11 Home_ > _- patch `winsetup.dll` in boot.wim to remove windows 11 setup checks when booting from media_ > configure via set vars, commandline parameters or rename script like `iso 21H2 Pro MediaCreationTool.bat` > recommended windows setup options with the least amount of issues on upgrades set via auto.cmd > awesome dialogs with keyboard focus to pick target version and preset action _No need to right-click Run as Admin, script will ask itself.
