Funky fixes

[SpaceWalker]

I'll post some weird and funky solutions & fixes to random Tech/Software issues here.

Install Windows 11 on any PC and bypass TPM & System Checks with one command:

Mount the ISO (doesn't matter what build, latest build suggested, currently 23H2). Just double click the ISO to mount it.
Open CMD prompt.
Enter the ISO drive letter. Usually D: or E:. it's easy to check in File Explorer.
In CMD prompt you would enter: e: and press enter.
When it's at e:, type the following and press enter: setup /product server
The Setup will start and display Windows Server install, but it won't install Server, it will install/upgrade the edition that is installed.

The above is for an "in place" upgrade, but I am pretty sure the same command will work if booted via USB. It's easy to remove TPM etc. with Rufus if it doesn't though.

Chris Titus Tech has an excellent video on how to "Install Windows 11 the Arch way" which will bypass TPM and all that other nonsense on a factory ISO. The other option which I use personally is Tiny11 (which does still function as a normal OS and can install apps and features officially through Windows Store / Apps & Features (Settings App)

He's got a brilliant tool to fix a lot of Windows performance issues: Debloat Windows in 2022
There's a YouTube tutorial on it if the interface is a bit overwhelming - very intuitive though, you just run the command in PowerShell to access the tool 💪
I use this with every single new setup I do.

Very much agreed. Anyone who needs to de-bloat anything definitely should check his stuff out. Search Result

Door thocks when closed.

Revision has a nice clean stripped down version of Win10 and Win11 as well that is based on the official ISOs just with all the pre-installed garbage removed along with some other performance tweaks included out the gate as well.
Still need to convince myself it's worth reinstalling everything on my pc though...

I must check that one out, never heard of it. I've only ever gone for Tiny and then CTT for de-bloat (before CTT used CCleaner to remove nonsense before I got comfortable with scripting - this is a few years ago as well though)

Let me know how it goes, seems slightly more complicated now than a straight up ISO file.

Good morning. It works well. Yea it is a bit more complicated (and a bit more complicated than CTT remove bloatware scripts) but it does work well. Im going to test on a bare metal machine during this week and see how it goes with full system resources (comparison sys usage, etc)
