    Tested and works for setup and backgroud you need to mount index 2 of boot.wim

    To edit bmp and dll you need to have system rights best are nsudo

    To change install windows text edit spwizres.dll.mui from en-us index 2 folder ( if you use english )

    I'll do a test with W11_26100.560 to see the results.

    Version 712 is very bloated and I don't intend to use it...

    Please tell me what you'll get after testing. Is it possible they change something in 26100.712?
    I even try completely change spwizimg.dll from windows 10, but same results.

    I've tried. Doesn't work. You have to change winre.jpg, that works. See my previous post.

    I haven't tried that yet. But see what happens. So we learn the best way.

    Works good, starting screen is like windows 10. After restart is like win 11. Also skip system requirements check up.

    w11.gif

    For anyone who is interested.
    What I did:
    Copied Install.esd (or wim if you have it) from win11 into win 10. I'm using PowerIso but any similar is good (Ultraiso for ex.)
    Modified spwizimg.dll in bootwim/2/source 516 and 517 pictures.
    Change picure in bootwim/2/windows/system32/winre.bmp
    Changing other pictures is pointless.
    Changing 516 picture if You want transparency is little bit tricky. bmp picture in 32 bit dept is unusual. Copy original 516 picture (assuming You are using resHacker or similar) and work over it but not with windows paint. I use small program but really handy, IconLover. Picture should remain same resolution and 32 bit in dept.

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    The best are use azure stach hci iso as source for have the most recent setup without dual setup... legacy and modern

    Mount boot.wim "index 2" go to source / inf

    Edit setup.cfg replace server value with client to avoid driver error

    Return to source folder of index 2 of boot.wim and delete setupmedia.cfg or replace value from this file with "client"

    Why ? Because .... windows 11 23h2 are 22631

    Azure stack 25398.... and 24h2 26100

    And fyi popcnt are introduced with 25900.. build
