Download the ISO from MS, make bootable USB with Rufus. After clicking Start you can choose local account only, bypass TPM and RAM reqs, etc

what kind of "non-standard windows 11 installs" ?

[–] RedIce25@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it includes using Rufus I'm going to explode

What's wrong with Rufus?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago (7 children)

It edits the iso (making it non-standard) to run on not-anymore-supported hardware.

Didn't click the link.

Why are they taking these videos down?

As long as the Linux install videos stay up, I actually applaud this

Wasn't Google trying to get their own OS off the ground? It's in their business interest for people to switch from Windows to elsewhere.

This would be a GREAT time to post some links to videos about it on Peertube.
