The worrying part is we don't know what Microsoft will decide. They may refuse updates on win 11 if they suspect installation bypassed TPM and secure boot. Could this happen?
I am sure they can if they wish. Back in the XP days, they tried hard to stop illegal copies, as the program WAS THEIR INCOME. Fast forward as now M$ income is all downstream services. In other words, they actually need a good uptake of the latest software (Windows 11) to keep making money. I have no doubt the TPM and secure boot (and heaven knows what else) requirements are there more for show, and the big end of town, For various financial reasons. The simple fact M$ never even tried to shut down Windows 10 upgrades and activation methods out there, and they still remains, tells me they actually want users to upgrade that cant for various reasons. They will lose them and revenue otherwise. My take is they will leave a loophole for that very reason, some-one just has to find it.
Sure, M$ could release the kraken with a final Windows 11...but I wouldnt want to call it a dead end already either...just look back at Windows 95... ...as I just think the history of appraiser.dll and appraiserres.dll looks, lets say "interesting", also while trying some 1st decompiling and hexediting... I made a graphic OCD graphic because of this ! ;D
@itsmemario1 create that thread and stop posting this in here... does every f**king thread have to result in to this offtopic crap? the tool uses a file from an older windows to bypass stuff, that's all what counts in this tool specific thread.
Wow, sorry for trying to look behind the curtain, didnt meant to hijack your thread. But offtopic crap ? Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder ? :/ Anyway, Im out of here.
SecureBoot bypass suggests that already, but will add it as extra info Added it to the OP, will add it in the tool menu next time i update the tool.
Simply deleting appraiserres.dll seems to do the trick at least when doing an upgrade. Maybe older version is needed for some other installation option?
Well it did not work. I'm not all red with Whynotwin11 but gold. From what I have read I will be able to retain Win11 as a tester. Since I have been a insider since day 1. But it's too early to say for sure. You know how MS works one day on the next day off. Thank you Enthousiast for trying to help. Your software is top notch.
What do you exactly mean? The fixed by option 2 ISOs can be installed on old non supported legacy bios only systems and they can perform (inplace)upgrades from any build install.
I know you guys are way above my level, would you mind anyway answer this: is it safe to update a Win 10 rig with insiders W11 beta release ? I have a repair usb stick and a full system backup (just in case). thank you
Win11 is *pretty stable*. If you are running the OS on a dedicated drive and have the full system backup of your current install on another drive, and don't only have important files/documents/etc just on your OS drive, I'd say it's pretty safe. What else can happen? It's not going to blow a PC up. Problem arise when people don't know how to restore, or haven't done installs much, or don't have backups and secondary drives. If you are dealing with producing important files and work, then any unnecessary change to your system carries risk with it.
thank you for this kind and detailed answern, I use this rig for mail, gaming and internet... nothing strategic, backup is made on an external usb drive, repair usb stick made, so I'll make the jump.
ditto the above, as long as you have a backup, go ahead, BUT!!!!!! be aware that we haven't seen yet if M$ will block this method and stop some-how future updates. The gamble is if M$ tries to somehow, do you have confidence that equally some-one will rise to the challenge - past experience suggests yep!!!!!!!!

thanks dude.. it seems like microsoft will not block this thing when it goes rtm.. as this iso is almost rtm..
I wonder how msft would be able to block the offline boot.wim registry mods, without going to the max They can block Feature Updates by WU, with the new appraiserres.dll in the du for sources, have to test that scenario with the latest one.
