    So you have wim. What is the issue just use wimlib & restore the wim itself to any drive, without using any propriety tools?

    ===================
    UPDATED Initialpost!
    =====================



    Hey,
    I wasnt aware of wimlib. Appreciated.

    I applied the WIM file to an empty SSD via SATA-2-USB adapter, using "wimapply.bat" from within a Windows 11.

    It instantly started creating all the files&folders on the SSD, which took about 20 minutes.
    Followed by a longer process "extracting file data" (21 gigabyte), which almost took 2 hours. Probably related to the old Laptop and no USB 3.x.

    Followed by the process "Applying metadata", which took another 20 minutes.

    The cmd ended with 2 times "Command %) wrong or not found" but it said "Done applying WIM image." before.

    Next time Ill do it on a faster PC.

    I had a ready to go SSD with all windows folders on it then.

    As there was no EFI partition on the SSD yet,
    the wimlib site says I have to use boot files / BCD, before beeing able to finally boot it from inside a PC/Laptop.

    The SSD attached via SATA2USB Adapter is "E:".

    Will adding "bcdboot E:\Windows /s E:" do the job? (even if its not C)
    Also Im on Windows 11 (x64)

    Today I installed Windows 10 Teams on a:

    "hp compaq pro 6200 microtower"
    i3-2120, 4GB RAM, 120GB SSD
    using a GeForce 210 instead of the onboard graphics HD2000.

    I dont understand on how I would use tsforge/massgravel on "Windows Teams" as I cant use powershell

    I can open a CMD prompt using rightclick on the windows icon though and run masgravel.
    It does activate the already activated Windows Teams, but cant find Office when selecting tsforge and/or Ohook.
    It would be Office 365.

    Also forcing the nvidia drivers to work would be the next big problem I guess.

    p.s.
    Why would the Windows installation still be called "pre-release" 19041.VB_RELEASE.191206-1406?
    Would there be any "final" "Windows Teams" ISO out there?
