    is strange that your using older HW and not getting flag on its limitations and restrictions :confused:

    I checked, Server 11 doesn't do any check, months that I read about the tiniest thing and no one noticed that "detail"

    I did some tests to shed more light on the matter.

    About point #2, Server 11 installs on old HW by design, no question asked.

    Regarding point #1, I tried to start an installation/in place upgrade starting from LTSB2016 with the following results.

    Server 11 = OK

    Win 11 = OK (it complains about the unsupported HW but that's a different matter)

    Server 2022 = OK, even the 20348.1 ISO which was still named as preview

    Server 2004 (no GUI) = OK, even the initial 19041.208 ISO


    Client 1904x (any version) = KO

    Earlier Client SKUs = KO

    Server 2019/Server 1809 = KO


    I don't have any Server 19xx to test ATM

    Client 1904x WIM placed inside 19041 Server ISO = KO
