I always carry a latest single copy usb install key around and do alot of win 10 to 11 upgrades, often on unsupported hardware.
On the original win 11 21H (Possibly 22H1) you could add a reg key to mosetup and upgrades would work to unsupported hardware. You got a warning prompt you had to accept to install but they worked.
On 22 and now 23 this regedit no longer seems to be enough. (Funnily the winpe support of drivers has noticably decreased as well which is both odd and annoying)
The instalation actually just drops/exits completely while doing prescans on multiple systems with any device that is unsupported in some way. (Network on or off no difference)
I have proved this by re-downloading an old 21H copy, doing the upgrade from 10 to 11 and then the 22 and 23 iso's will upgrade once you have gone from 10 to 11 successfully.
so something has changed in the upgrade compatibility scanning process in the 22H and 23H iso's. They both have no accept warning screen which seems to be indicative.
Ideally I want one, latest current version usb that covers home pro enterprise and Edu that will clean install or upgrade anything basically. Something I can update easily when the next windows version comes out without extensively modifying but can still actually get from 10 to 11 as well. Possibly not achievable but
does anyone know have ideas on altering/downgrading the upgrade compatibility checks in the upgrade process, hybridization of 21H setup and 23H installation files maybe?
