*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

I bit the bullet, just installed Windows 11 Pro on laptop. I need to do my desktop machine but to do that I need to bypass the tpm and cpu requirements.

One issue on laptop Intel Optane won't enable. Anyone else running this and successfully got it to work?
 
Why on earth are you people installing startisback. Do you realise you can just either leave windows 10 on or move the menu to the left side in settings? You just wasting your money and time.

Microsoft, have some of my middle finger!

That's not very nice. They have their reasons to why they have implemented what they have done. Mainly down to security.

Just bypass it. I was going to wait but decided to bit the bullet and give it a go. Had couple issues but sorted them now so now I have two systems running with currently no on-going issues.

How to create a local admin account at OOBE for Home Edition on the laptop .It force me to connect wireless . If I don't, it won't continue at all.

You can't. The option doesn't appear if it detects a valid nic even if you unplug it. I tried it and I had to make an online account and then change to local once I was in windows.
 
Another way to bypass is just to use the install.wim from a windows 11 ISO to a windows 10 ISO then boot as if it was windows 10 but in reality it's installing the windows 11 image files.

Every windows release its like a rush to get it to look like the previous version :D I like the new win 11 its fresh and to me seems well laid out, nothing like win 8 was like. if you like win 10 then stick to it, supported for another 5 years. i will stick with win 11 as i like it.

I have to admit I really do like the windows 11 default menu over the windows 10 default menu.

Feels finished and polished.
 
How the hell do I remove the "Recommended" section from the new start menu entirely? I can find the switches in Settings to not populate it, but then it just leaves a big ol' empty bunch of space in the start menu headed "Recommended" that isn't doing anything.

Microsoft has screwed up here I think. That space could have been used for apps or widgets.

I haven't found a setting yet to use this space as something else.
 
replacing install.esd from windows 11 ISO to a windows 10 ISO works.

You can install bypassing all restrictions. :D it thinks it's windows 10 but installs windows 11 instead.

Just tested it on a live system and a vm and both install without no problems.
