Get 11 on 'unsupported' PC via Windows Update or mounted ISO (no patching needed)
Step 1: use 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 - v7 using more reliable /Product Server trick
V9 rebased on cmd due to defender transgression; skips already patched media (0b)
Step 2: use 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 3: check for updates via Settings - Windows Update and select Upgrade to Windows 11
Get 11 on 'unsupported' PC via MediaCreationTool.bat
MediaCreationTool.bat creates 11 media that will automatically skip clean install checks
Auto Upgrade preset, or launching auto.cmd
from the created media will automatically skip upgrade checks
Running setup.exe
from the created media is not guaranteed to bypass setup checks (it should for now)
To NOT add bypass to the media, use MCT Defaults preset or rename the script as def MediaCreationTool.bat
Regarding the bypass method, for a more reliable and future-proof experience,
clean installation is still handled via winsetup.dll patching in boot.wim
upgrade is now handledonlyviaauto.cmd
with the /Product Server trick
Just ignore the 'Windows Server' label, please!
NEWS: temporarily added back my old-style 0-byte bypass as it still works on release
i: Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd acts globally and skips setup.exe upgrade checks as well
regardless of mounted iso / usb media already having a bypass added or not
Already have a 11 ISO, USB or extracted Files and want to add a bypass
Use 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 retail or gvlk keys found in media\sources\product.ini

MediaCreationTool.bat creates media that re-enables the I dont have internet OOBE choice (OOBE\BypassNRO)
It does so via AutoUnattend.xml, inserted into boot.wim
to not cause setup.exe issues under windows
More conveniently can be placed at the root of 11 media, along with auto.cmd to use for upgrades
Should work with any 11 Release (22000.x) or Dev (22xxx.x) media - and it hides unsupported PC nags as a bonus ;)
