I have Win 11 Dev Channel Insider Build running in a VM using the pre-release VMware Workstation Tech Preview. When I attempted to upgrade to build 25179, it fails with a green screen BSOD during installation reporting an unsupported processor.
As a test, I downloaded the ISO for this build directly from Microsoft and tried a clean install. No go, same thing (except that it is a blue screen rather than green).
So, I tried again, this time entering "reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassCPUCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f" at the first static screen to bypass the CPU check. Bad news - it fails again.
I should point out that the underlying physical machine does have a fully supported CPU.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to install the dev build on a real physical computer that does not meet the CPU requirements to see if the workarounds still work on physical hardware. I'll try this in the morning, but was just curious to see if anyone has already tried this.
