Windows 11 Leak Screenshots

Hi folks
Just started installing now on a VM on KVM/QEMU

(Any way to increase the size of image and insert inline as per W10 Forums !!!) I'm a bit confused with the standard options here !!!)

Hi folks
Installed OK but could only work with Ms account - so I'll create another VM and while instaling ensure no Internet access. There's too much personal info in the screen shots currently with the Ms account so I deleted my install screenshots . I'm having a go at another one - this thing doesn't take long to install at all !! especially as a VM.

@z3r010 Great stuff on the Black / dark themes on this forum --well done --took me a little while to get used to it but its great.

Cheers
jimbo

Hi folks
Created another VM with Internet disconnected initially and then you can install with local account.

Now I'll see if I can install Office on it and anything useful.

One pleasing thing is that at least on my system as a VM it installs in about 7 mins flat -- much quicker than W10 and I haven't even thought about things like passthru on the VM to optimise it.

Cheers

There is a new Cloud version that can be upgraded to apparently .. Windows 11 SE - the default key is KY7PN-VR6RX-83W6Y-6DDYQ-T6R4W (not activatable , I can confirm it's a default key by it's PID - hope it's OK to post it - otherwise Admin feel free to delete it)

This is a new desktop and this is the first Windows version that I installed in VMWare so there is no digital license. I had thought about trying the generic key but I doubt it would have worked.

In Hyper-V each machine has its own unique ID. Windows keys are a precious commodity, so when finished with a VM that has used a key to get a digital licence you should NEVER delete it, rather I remove its drive (or give it a blank empty one) then export it for later use. There are similar techniques in VMWare for preserving and restoring a VM's unique ID.

The generic key will be installed during set up if you skip entering a key. The leaked W11 installs the same Pro key as used by W10 and activated for me from an existing W10 Pro digital licence.

Hyper-V installs without hiccups. I installed Win 11 in Hyper-V within Win 10 Insider OS...

So far I have successfully installed and used Macrium Reflect Free v8 and a 20+ year old PaintShop Pro 7.04. Looks like anything that installs and runs in W10 will work the same in this W11.

I'm back on Windows 11 Pro and downloaded Showkey Plus and you're right about the generic key. I only have one pro key from my now dead PowerSpec desktop. When I bought it it came with disk for installing Windows 7 Pro or Windows 10 Pro. I found the disk but I have look through a lot of boxes to try and find the activation keys. I did successfully install Windows 11 Home with my Windows 8.1 Home full version key. Except for the color of the taskbar not changing I think I'm liking Windows 11.

Edit: I'm Using VMware instead of Hyper-V. I don't know the advantages and disadvantages between Hyper-V and VMware. I use VMware because I'm more familiar with it.

Hi there
Office 2019 needs the fix that is available in W10 Forums or some people might get the License nag screen even though license is legit.

Photoshop working OK etc as well but all inside a VM -- probably the ist to do it on Linux Host with KVM/QEMU but installed without fuss in around 7 Mins. Needed "2 Goes" as the ist time around I had Internet connected during install phase and couldn't install as a Local Account. Working fine now - but that's it for today --nice to see all "The Usual Suspects" on this Forum.

here it is again as a reminder :

Run as administrator
cd "\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun"
Enter
OfficeC2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.13801.20266
Enter

You then get the box Office is downloading updates

after that finishes disable updates.

Cheers

Has anyone tried using ShowkeyPlus from the MS Store? I used it on my non activated Windows 11 Pro and it works but the text is faded. Some text is very hard to see.

I only installed W11 in Hyper V to check MS Money 2005 (UK) works and I don't lose 25 years of financial transactions. It worked!

I didn't bother activating it just for testing. I can't personalise it but found your various reg file fixes at Tenforums let me set a dark theme and move the Start Button etc.

I think I may have ran into some good luck finding a Pro key I can use. I was using KeyPass and saw a entry for Windows 10 key. When I opened it I found a Pro key I purchased from Newegg back in 2016. I forgot all about it. I think it was for a old HP desktop that I no longer use.

Your screenshot shows W11 PRO, which can be installed without Internet connection. W11 Home however requires Internet and only allows a Micosoft Account as initial admin user. See this post: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/install-windows-11-home-using-local-account.23/#post-485

When I installed Windows 11 Home I had no choice and had to use my MS account. Now I know it wasn't because of something I did.

Yeah Macrium works. I created an image and will see if it can be of any use... :)

The Pro key from Newegg worked. Windows 11 Pro is now activated.

Remember, do NOT delete the VM when you are done testing. This VM has a digital licence link to its unique ID, which enables you to clean install and activate W10 Pro or W11 Pro in this VM.

Instructions for preserving a VMWare unique ID in post #14 here:

Question about licence/activation on a VM - Windows 10 Help Forums

Before Win10 released I was running a copy of the preview on a virtual machine. I was also signed in to the insider program. After release I upgraded

@Bree Thanks for the tip. I had totally forgotten about upgrading my old HP desktop to Windows 10 Pro. I found it when I was making a entry in KeePass for the Windows 11 forum. I would still like find the keys for my old PowerSpec desktop.
