I wanted to perform an upgrade, not a fresh install, on a Toshiba Satellite L755 CPU i5 (2008). but it failed TPM and Secure Boot requirements. So, I mounted Windows 11 ISO and copied its contents into an empty folder on the hard disk "Win11". Then I mounted Windows 10 build 21390 and copied the contents of the "sources" folder (except for install.wim) and pasted them into "Win11\sources" folder overwriting all contents, except of course install.wim, which was not copied. (I now have Windows 11 DVD with sources folder from Windows 10, except install.wim and few other files) Ran Setup.exe from Win11 folder, it gave messages that it was installing Windows 10, but when it successfully finished, it certainly was Windows 11. After confirming all was well, I ran "Disk Cleanup" (Cleanup system files) marked all (Files to delete) and deleted the 20+ gigabytes. I had to reinstall .Net 3.5 from the CD using DISM, it won't update from the net.
Interesting find: Windows 11 could possibly be implementing the idea of multiple taskbars or panels, like Linux/Unix desktop environments. If you take a look at the taskbar settings there's a link: "How do I customize taskbars" not "the taskbar" but "taskbars"
Has anybody found out yet how to enable toolbars on the taskbar? I've installed networx which has a toolbar but the toolbar is not showing on the taskbar.
Have you tried the instructions a page back on this post? https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...nel-co_release-leak.83658/page-7#post-1666472 You could try extracting the iso to a directory and replacing the appraiserres.dll file. People have been claiming that secure boot is required for activation. I'm unsure. You might be able to kms activate it if it's giving you trouble with the digital entitlement method.
Is it possible to install this on Boot Camp? Or be able to directly upgrade from the current stable version (which works with Boot Camp)?
@murphy78 That's actually my post!! Anyway, I have tried 4 ways and they are all successful. 1- Windows 10 Virtual Machine, TPM/UEFI Enabled -> Dropped VMDK and Added a clean one, used original ISO (Fresh install Windows 11) 2- Windows 10 Desktop, TPM/UEFI Enabled -> used original ISO (Upgraded to Windows 11) 3- Windows 10 Desktop TPM/UEFI Disabled -> Copy ISO to a folder and replace appraiseres.dll (Upgraded to Windows 11) 4- Windows 10 Laptop, TPM/BIOS Disabled -> Copy ISO to a folder and replace "sources/install.wim" (Upgrade to Windows 11) Note: * The computers had Digital Licenses before the Install/Upgrade and I can confirm that they are still activated with Digital Licenses. * I downloaded @Enthousiast script, but could not try it as I don't have (currently) a computer that I could afford to lose its data. * I could have formatted the Virtual Machine and it would give the same result (tried with other Windows previously), but I will end up with a huge VMDK or VDI disk that has no data and compacting it does not give the same results as dropping the old one and adding a new empty one. Also, this methodology allows you to keep your previous installation of "Windows, Linux or macOS" Virtual Disk and remounting it whenever you need. P.S. The Toshiba Satellite laptop was bought in 2008 originally with Windows 7 installed.
If I have time over the weekend, I will try to create a dual boot Windows 11 installation from within the an already installed Windows 10, using the Win11 folder on one of the computers, like this: Assuming the computer has a C: (Windows partition) and E: (empty partition), and the Windows 11 ISO is mounted to D:\ drive, or its contents are copied to C:\Win11. Open Administrator's CMD and run the following: Deploy Windows 11 Professional to E:\ drive C:\Windows\system32> DISM /Apply-Image /ImageFile:C:\Win11\Sources\install.wim /Index:6 /ApplyDir:E:\ Add deployed Windows 11 on drive E: to Windows boot menu C:\Windows\system32> bcdboot E:\Windows That's it! Update: I tried the Dual Boot on the Virtual Machine, expanded the Virtual Hard Disk from 60GB to 100GB, booted to the installed Windows and formatted the new 40 GB as (E: drive) - Mounted Windows 11 ISO and copied all its contents to C\Win11 - Mounted Windows 10 ISO and copied the contents of sources folder (except for install.wim) to C:\Win11\sources\ Performed the above instructions (dism and bcdboot) and now I have a Dual Boot Virtual Machine. Notes: * The boot menu presented 2 Windows 10 buttons (due to using Windows 10 sources). This was fixed by bcdedit to find names of the boot partitions (usually Current and Default), then renaming them as required, using: C:\Windows\system32> bcdedit /set {default} description "Windows 11" * When booting to the new Windows 11 partition for the first time, it could only see its own 40GB partition as "C:\" drive "initially" and the DVD, but not the original 60GB "C:\" drive of old Windows. This is because the 60GB partition did not have a drive letter associated to it in the new Windows 11, as it assumed the C letter for itself. Sorted by accessing Windows 11 Disk Management and providing a drive letter e.g. "G:\" (or any available letter) to Original 60GB partition. * The new installation inherited the activation of the original Windows due to sharing the same virtual hardware components. * The above could be performed using a mounted ISO, which would be a little easier. But I presented a case where the user may have a computer with no UEFI or TPM. @luzea , it may sound silly, but the upgrades performed where from Windows 10 and keeping all applications and data. Enthousiast's scripts look like a fresh install, which would result in loss of data.

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I'm confused. This method is working for other systems, but not this particular older laptop? And the erroring is because of secure boot and tpm? Perhaps it is using a different hw compat check for windows 7? Edit: NM looks like you got past that.
OK, my unattend.xml is working (again), like I said before: I've been using the same file pretty much since 8.1, but this version all of a sudden I had a blocking error, I thought maybe something changed in the unattended system (hard to imagine, as this is basically all the same Windows 10 stuff). Once I removed some "<SynchronousCommand>" items (which were not really necessary anyway), thing went through just fine. One of them was a "NET ACCOUNTS" command, also a "POWERCFG" command, I will have to do a bit more testing to see whch one was the actual culprit. Only thing left to do for now is to get rid of the stupid "Widgets" icon (I'm not using a Microsoft account, so there's no use for it anyway). All in all, I'm not too disappointed in W11 (not too much screwed up stuff that can't be fixed), don't hate the rounded corners, but I would have liked it better if they had increased the bloody space on the corners where you can "grab" the window for resizing. Thanks again to ENTST, MSMG and others for their help.
That's clever. Keep us updated on your testing. Doing the dism apply-image method won't cause the normal problems that dual installs have. It's one reason I did the diskpart/dism-apply script in the first place. If you don't like the look of the two buttons on the GUI boot choices you can change the bcdedit options to legacy mode which will have it boot with the text screen choices where you just use arrow keys and press enter.
What if that TPM crap is just a leftover from the transition from MSFT's plans for 10X (only meant for specific (mobile) hardware) and it was not removed from the leaked ISO? I can't imagine that this, supposed to be, win 11 can't be installed on simple (older and brand new) user or self build hardware or upgrade from previous windows builds when it hits GA. Downloading a (modified? it's original taken from 1703/15063 ISO) dll file from unofficial sources doesn't sound like a proper and safe solution to me either. @Simple07 of course the diskpart and apply image is meant for clean installs, it works from boot.wim.
