    stagesxs works with 22000

    with secure boot disabled my sl7 intel runs 22000 - unfortunately 22000 reached end of life

    edit:secure boot doesn't matter

    with explodesxs no problem, but i'm curious about another way (xinso said many times: when you want to learn construction, that's what stagesxs is for :) not explodesxs)

    interesting that in old thread xinso made construction many times by:
    mounting unstaged.wim
    then i guess apply-unattend (install in .xml)
    adding languagepack

    edit: for example i installed 19100.1051 unstaged iso in hyper-v

    install.wim has 3 folders: packages (with cat files, mums and manifests), users (with ntuser.dat) and windows (with amd64_installed in servicing, registry files in system32/config, dll files in dism, dll files in downlevel, wcmtypes.xsd in smi/schema, shcema.dat in smi/store/machine, ssshim.dll in system32, wdscore.dll in system32 and servicingstack files in winsxs)

    zhanglin uses two Sessions on WinRE Reconstruction.

    Registry has residuals usually.

    Q: Could it work as expected?

    Converted 22621.1.ni_release.220506-1250_25SKUs.iso\sources\install.wim\6\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim to WinPE.wim [by a script]

    Reconstructed WinPE.wim to Windows 11 22621.1 with scratch space set at 256mb following winosr25 method, installed and seems to work as expected.

    This one is made from boot.wim to WinPE.wim [by a script] from 22621.1.ni_release.220506-1250_25SKUs.iso

    Then reconstructed to Windows 11 22621.1 with scratch space set at 256mb following winosr25 method,

    i'll try in a while :) enterpriseeval, which officially is supported (unlike 23h2 professional), won't force buggy 24/25h2 upgrade (unlike 23h2 professional), will automatically activate (unlike enterpriseg) and has not language restriction (unlike enterpriseg)

    weird fact:

    i have battery limit option enabled on my sl7 intel. on 22000 battery is charging to 50%, on different builds (17763, 19041, 22621, 26100, 28000) to 49%. depends on build or secure boot (on 22000 secure boot is disabled)?

    edit: depends on build - 49% on 26100 with secure boot disabled for example
