    iso file 23H2-norwegian-x64v2.iso.
    Winver: 23H2 22631.3085 (noted from a successfull previous upgrade from win 10 to win 11)
    Install runs fine until first boot, after boot a blue screen with abort "message system service exception".
    Have also experienced blue screen with message "irql not less or equal" but forget under which circumstance. .
    Seems to me that win11 "does not like" the hardware (ga-x58a-ud7) with pcie cards for usb3.0, display, and SSD (revodrive).
    Nothing I can do to help win 11 to change its mind ?

    Nothing related to the win 11 system requirements at boot and upgrades, this is something else it seems.

    I should probably enter the UTM community, but felt like it is worth trying here as well.

    I tried booting and installing Windows 11 ARM via the "VM-Tool" UMT on a Apple M1 today.
    Windows 11 ARM boots, installs and activates via KMS script like a charm.

    Trying to boot up an untempered Windows 11 x64 in Emulation (not virtualization) will boot/work until "This version of Windows cant be installed on this PC".

    Trying to boot up a tempered (fixed with your FIX) Windows 11 x64 will show "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD..." and just shows the UMT logo then.

    Maybe someone already experimented around this?

    p.s.
    It works, for example, if I use Crystalfetch in MacOS (its using the UUPDUMP api) with Windows 10 x64.

    - Always use the latest version (v4.0 option 1 should work for upgrades)
    - The message is not related to this tool, try to upgrade by an iso with the generic ei.cfg onboard ("ISO/USB:\Sourcs\").

    Hello, which option is recommended for unsupported hardware of build 26090.112.

    New installation not upgrade

    Is it the recommended option 1 ?

    Option 1 works when legacy setup is selected, option 2 works for both (or modern setup only, will test this now).

    @stemic28 option 2 is working for both, modern and legacy setup with 26090.

    For Your Information

    Decided the latest 24H2 version 26100.2 is my base version to use, as it looks like its stable enough for all my UNSUPPORTED computers to be used full time. Downloaded 26100.2, used "The Fix" Option 1 and no problems.

    The key test was did it still allow upgrade and keep all my personal files and settings. Well YES!!!!!!!!!!. successfully upgraded from 23H2 without a problem.

    So yet again very happy with all on this group and your work, cant thank you enough.

    Tried Option 1 on my Haswell and it worked like a charm! Thank you @Enthousiast !

    Well, this is an old system that I've made a few OS upgrades on. It still has some updates and probably unnecessary files from old Windows. I'm considering running 2 commands "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" and "sfc /scannow". Do you think this would remove the "fix" or should I rerun the fix to continue getting Windows Updates afterwards?

    Thanks!

    Here is your problem. Your processor is too old, and will not support how Windows is now written. Every program in the new windows operating system must support POPCNT or it will not run. Like when 86 processors went the way of the dodo, your computer wont support 24H2. Get a second hand newer computer, or stick to 23H2. "The Fix" wont help you, no-one can.

    THERE IS NO WORK AROUND FOR THIS.

    "The Fix" allows the Windows to be loaded, THATS ALL. Once you have it loaded, you have the same Windows as everyone else, regardless of the age of the computer. That means you can play with Windows like normal, nothing is affected.

    IE NO FIX TO REMOVE, NO UPDATES ARE AFFECTED

    Quick question... Does this disable/stop BitLocker from being forced enabled on all drives? And if so, which option should we use going forward?

    Reason being, Windows 11 24H2 encrypts all drives with BitLocker, regardless of if you're doing a clean install or a reinstall (upgrades don't seem to be forced)...

    Thanx :)

    No, it bypasses the checks for tpm and the other win 11 hardware requirements.

    In all my test installs bitlocker never did encrypt my drives, but i never use online accounts either.

    Thanx for the reply... I'll have to use (that special USB ISO tool with an R) which has that option to remove/turn off forced BitLocker encryption on 24H2 clean/reinstall installations...

    My computers with SSD's are running so slow and after research found out that it's BitLocker that is slowing SSD's down 45% because of it... So I'm most likely going to disable BitLocker on my main drive because I can barely do things without my computers hanging (feel like I using an old 90's tower computer)...

    One of the articles mentioned that 24H2 enables BitLocker by default on all drives connected to computer when doing a clean installation or a reinstallation and that ISO (R) tool has the option to turn it off... So that's why I was asking...

    Thanx :)

    Do you have a link to that article? maybe it also mentions that this only is for online accounts, where also onedrive is enabled to make backups and instantly ask for upgrades of the account.
