I know many users like and use Wordpad which 24h2 will remove. It's been discussed on this forum before ending up in multi-page threads a user has to wade through. I did find one thing useful while browsing around that site. There's a well laid out guide about how to get Wordpad back, and how to make it your default handler of .rtf files. But you need to take action while you still have access to 23H2 to do it. This method should keep the die-hard Wordpad users happy into 24h2 and beyond. read://https_www.neowin.net/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.neowin.net%2Fguides%2Fhow-to-restore-wordpad-in-windows-11%2F

Curious if anyone has been able to get it up and running inside a Virtual Machine. I've tried both VMWare and VirtualBox with zero success. Can get the ISO to boot but not install (VMWare) or not even boot at all (VirtualBox).

Thanks.....

I was able to successfully install the ISO onto a VM in Hyper V on my Windows 10 desktop.
Used this link from neowin above: https://software-static.download.pr..._CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso

However, it does say it's not activated the license has expired which isn't typical with an Eval copy. but that's also the case in the Neowin article in their screenshot.

Edit: Windows update and reboot solved the non licensed bit.
