When was the last time you downloaded it?

There probably is... but as mentioned above... "you're chasing a ghost".
Do a Clean Install, and make a backup before you start tweaking things.


Personally, I keep a folder on my storage drive, with every tweak I do, to whatever OS I'm using.
It makes the ghosts... easier to find. :-)
Of course! I do have multiple backups.
But as i mentioned earlier, the upgrade is not the problem. My goal is to find the ghost :)
At least for the sake of interest.

Unfortunately, we can't help much with that.
We'd have to be sitting at your computer and have a lot of free time. :(


Ghosts are fast little suckers. :D



Seriously, the registry is a really big place.
You do a little tweak here and there, and it gets splattered all over the registry. :(

I currently have a lot of free time :), but not that much knowledge.
Do you know by a chance, where the previous install information is stored?

Its probably this one HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Source OS...

I don't.
It could be in multiple places (in the registry), as well.

Consider that even if you knew what to change, technically you’re simply bypassing requirements which is what something like RUFUS already does.
Create the install media with Rufus, run exe via File Explorer

Where did you get your Windows 11 License Key from?

I dont want to bypass anything. They should just let me do a normal in-place.

I think we understand your feelings on the situation, yet here we are.

A clean install of Windows 11 is most likely the only way you’ll get to see what you want to see.

You know, if ur car is refusing to start, you dont wanna buy a new one or swap the engine. Instead u want to figure out what is wrong with it, right?

You know that if you take it to a Mechanics and 4 mechanics tell you the same thing…

Something was done to your install/current OS. That’s the least of it. Why you’re getting a command window re unsupported system, during the install from a MCT USB, is concerning. Never, ever seen it before and can’t see how it would even be a part of the install media.

Perform a clean installation

Btw, if i want to do the in-place upgrade, at certain point this window appears and stays like forever (waited 30+ minutes)...

View attachment 154109

Guess what? I did a hard reset by holding the power button for a few secs until the PC shuts down, then started it again, started the setup and it went further not even after 10 seconds!
Can you imagine? I've waited for hours for it to proceed and then this! 😂

This guys was responsible for my "Windows Server Setup" adventure. I used to use it to upgrade from W10 22H2 to W11 23H2 on a 6700K.
This also explains why the setup opens a dos window called "get 11 on 'unsupported' PC".
Man, it took me so long to find a single file...
Powershell:
@(set '(=)||' <# lean and mean cmd / powershell hybrid #> @'

::# if WU is stuck use windows_update_refresh.bat; Beta/Dev/Canary needs OfflineInsiderEnroll

In retrospect, you didn't need this script. Running "setup.exe /product server" would have bypassed any HW checks.
