I did eventually answer my question. I installed a larger NVME SSD on the brand new ASUS laptop and installed W11 fresh/clean ISO (from USB) but used the Rufus trick to bypass creating online MS account. Curiously, it did not 100% respect it I had to additionally perform the /bypassnro trick...

Got it, thanks! Won't be able to test it out for a couple weeks probably.

I wonder if it might just be that OA/OEM digital license in the UEFI/BIOS, same one that embeds for Home or Pro, or other edition. Imma do clean install to see and will report back.

Those are just registry (i.e. software) keys? I interpreted your previous comment to mean the UEFI variables were written to some NVRAM in hardware (e.g. BIOS)? How else could a clean install still end up with Windows in S mode enabled?

That sounds awesome, thanks! Even though it doesn't hurt me to learn all this manual DISM commands usage, I am at an age where learning stuff is getting HARDER than I ever remember, and I have earned the use of some shortcuts. 😄

I just purchased a new laptop with 11 S mode and would like to have normal Home edition not the S mode. I have not yet powered the machine on. I removed the laptop SSD and installed in external enclosure, plugged into my desktop machine and created a full image of the drive (all partitions), in...

He got around the installation failure already? I thought he still stuck not getting Windows even installed far enough yet to think about his GPU performances.

May I ask if these are 'officially' supported system hardware or non-supported system? I have two non-supported older systems, 4th gen and 5th gen Intel, on which I have been running W11 just fine. Until I performed the in-place upgrade from 24H2 to 25H2 (Windows Update will not offer it on...

There are reports (including mine) that on Home editions (not sure about Pro) SETUP might do the OOBE thing (Let's setup your PC) all over again, when using in-place upgrade from 24H2 to 25H2 using a local account and it won't let you bypass the MS account creation. At least not easily. After...

You actually have them? Try the Radeon RX 560, if you know it to be working. It is Polaris based released in 2017 so should be EFI ready. Any 9th Gen Core processors that have the "F" designation in the model # are lacking integrated graphics. e.g. 9500F or 9600KF. The rest have integrated...

Howdy, sorry if this is already covered somewhere. I did search (a little) but nothing came up that answered directly. When using DISM to apply a.k.a. integrate MSU package to W11 ISO (whether mounted, extracted, or otherwise), does it actually integrate all the files like the old slipstreaming...

Why is this error when copy/pasting the CA 2023 check command in OP? I use both the forum system copy to clipboard on click and manual highlight and copy but same error. Nevermind, I figured it out. Apparently doesn't paste the 'quotation' symbol in correct format. I had to paste it into...
