What do you mean it takes more time to use the oobe\bypassnro command? You are doing it wrong. As I said you don't have to reply to all screens until the network screen to use the command. At the very first screen (choose your region) press SHIFT+F10 to open a Command Prompt and execute the...

It is actually faster because as already mentioned you can type the command at the first screen (choose your region). You don't have to answer all the screens up to the network screen since after restart they will start again from choosing your region. And yes, you must be disconnected from the...

I might be wrong, but I think I read about Canary version previews new features (see restrictions) that will be done in Windows 12, while the Developer version previews actual Windows 11 features that will be done in Windows 11 24H2 or newer. Let's hope there will be workarounds for any legacy...

Hopefully it won't be necessary to reimplement the Windows 10 system tray because the general release of Windows 11 24H2 will not disable this feature. Their work however is not completely pointless because whatever restriction is in Canary might be in Windows 12, so they will have already find...

Hopefully these restrictions are only in Canary versions, not in the standard release of Windows 11. As mentioned earlier all these inconveniences in Canary will be done in Windows 12 when it will be released. Not in Windows 11.

Open Shell and Explorer Patcher to get the Windows 7 start button and start menu and the Windows 10 taskbar right-click menu plus many other options. I like the Classic Desktop that adds the Cut-Copy-Paste buttons along with Copy to and Move to. Very useful.

To make Windows as fast as Linux you must disable all visual effects (Linux has none) and disable all the startup applications except the absolutely necessary (Linux runs almost nothing at startup). Go to Settings, Accessibility, Visual Effects and disable transparency and fades. Also go to...

Well, sorry if it is already suggested, I didn't had the time to read all the replies, but I have seen similar behavior before. When trying to upgrade from one Windows version to another (such as from Vista to 7 and so on), there might be some "incompatible" applications that block the upgrade...

Me too 😁. I used Classic Shell to make Vista look like XP, then I liked Windows 7 and used it as is. Then I used Open Shell and Customizer God to make Windows 8/10 look like 7. Now I added Explorer Patcher and Mica for Everyone. I had even found a utility to make the application menu bar look...

They say that the legacy taskbar code will be removed. I don't think so. They will probably leave it and only disable it. There will be possible to enable the code and use the Windows 10 style taskbar. In worst case there will be a substitute for the removed code. But this currently is for...

When an "expert" says that I cannot do that, I laugh because I already know he talks BS and it can be done. In most cases I have already done it;)

Good point, but a Computer Technician like me cannot afford to turn off updates. I have to get the latest to be familiar with so I can help my customers. Also I must get any possible issues and learn how to overcome them, so I don't waste time searching for a solution when a customer has the...

You can install Windows 11 21H2, 22H2 and 23H2 on any computer with a 64-bit CPU (except for first generation AMD 64 CPUs that lack certain instructions) with at least 1GB RAM (2GB to have reasonable speed) and 32GB minimum hard disk space, if you bypass compatibility check. That is basically...

I noticed that it takes almost a minute to open File Explorer first time after installing latest Windows updates and restarting. I am not sure if it is an issue with Explorer Patcher, I will investigate. After the first time that takes too long, new instances of File Explorer open instantly. If...

I replied to the original topic, just download the ISO and bypass compatibility check to upgrade.
