    I created a Home/Pro ISO via uudump yesterday and while running the setup from within a already installed Windows 11 Home and recioeved these screens. Normal ? Glitch ? I was using the TPM bypass fix.

    Masquerading as Server prevents checks for Windows 11 requirements (TPM etc.). This in itself looks strange to me as it's exactly the Servers that are in need of these security features. Quite possible MS is adapting to paying customers with archaic server hardware...

    After the first reboot and beyond, no mention of Server anywhere, anymore. Although I wouldn't install Home if I had the choice.

    Where did you download this ISO? because afaik UUP dump doesn't provide fixed ISOs.

    Or did you run the tpm skip script by @AveYo?

    Just looks like someone took advantage of what I discovered months ago, in a thread that no one bothered to reply, but clearly was read.

    setup.exe /Product Server (or changing <INSTALLATIONTYPE>Server on install.wim) is known and dated way back before that :)

    I meant that no one before noticed that Server 11 wasn't doing checks, not the procedure itself.
