If this is a fully compliant machine then you could try an in-place repair upgrade. That could work too.I guess I could restore this SSD back to Win 10, then do the In-Place again, and let it update, before I do any registry tweaks.
That would only take about 45 mins.
As you may remember, with my non-complaint laptop an in-place repair is not possible, when trying with the hybrid W10/W11 install media it says it can only keep 'Nothing'. With the unmodified W11 ISO it says this machine can't run W11.
