I know how to download and add it manually with modded metadata, but this is stupid I already did it in previous build and at this point its easier to download iso
And sadly only "core" for physical hardware. SO CLOSE. EDIT: No good with any current Pi 5 tool anyway (the 4 doesn't have the newer ARM instructions). WOR Flasher on Windows considers it too new a version and won't even try, and the Windows Flasher on Pi complains the iso is probably not right because its smaller than an expected 11 iso, and won't try either. EDIT 2: Even tried to fool Windows Flasher by giving it a bigger iso by adding Azure Edition. It starts trying to install but the Preinstallation environment then fails anyway. Oh well.
I'll take a look at that as a last try then. EDIT: Well, by a slightly convoluted route (building the iso with Azure editions included) I was able to get the Pi-side version of Windows Flasher to actually do its part and at least put the installer files onto a disk. This then failed when it attempts to install to the same disk (which it can normally do) during the actual installer for Core, and /did/ finish the installing to disk part of the process(!) when done to a seperate disk, but failed when it rebooted with the generic, highly useful "an error occurred/something went wrong/reboot" message. With WOR on Windows being considered "dead" going by their discord so impossible to even try to use anything past 25631 (iirc... thanks, hardcoded version limits...really useful as ever), I think Microsoft might just finally have released ARM64 when one of the biggest ARM64 platforms can no longer work with it.
An immediate useful registry command; Code: reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f WHY ON EARTH would anyone want Copilot enabled by default on a SERVER OS..? Also some strange problem with my custom mouse pointer (an Amiga-style set) where it's either partly or entirely semi-transparent and I get white boxes around icons constantly.
Wow! Do you mean that 22 years after XP, is possible again to do an in place upgrade starting from the install media? If it's true that would be the second real innovation, after the in place upgrade for native VHD installations (possible since Server 2022, and available in Win11/Server 11)
Funny, was just thinking earlier about how with Copilot and the theming in general now, it's so far from being specifically Server-ish these days.
MSA page labels it as "Windows 11 ServerDatacenter". They could just merge Server and Client lines again like it was with Windows 2000.
A winner is me... Through a slightly convoluted method (WOR Flasher on Pi + iso + doing the initial setup to an sd card + then installing to a USB SSD (it will not work if you install to the sd card the installer is on despite saying you can do so if its over a certain size)... Core finally booted on my Pi 5. It's running right now, in all its relative uselessness. A shame there's no Desktop Experience, but perhaps some day soon.
