The End of Windows 10: a toolkit for community repair groups

A Windows 11 24H2 ISO will install on a machine w/o a TPM 2.0 module using the command line argument "/Product Server". (You can do this as either an "upgrade" to Windows 10 or on a clean machine by using the Shift-F10 shortcut to get a command prompt and run the setup from there.)

I'm on mobile and don't have a reference handy but search-engine this and you'll find instructions.

Thanks. Hopefully if there's a 25H1 or 25H2 they will also support this, since my plan is to hold onto W10 until the end of the year.

I'd snag a 24H2 ISO. If the bypass functionality is removed from future releases you can always install from the older ISO and update to the current version. I think it's highly unlikely they'll push an update breaking already-installed unsupported PCs. That would garner so much bad press.

Wasn't this patched out about 18 months ago?

I have installed a half-dozen unsupported machines using a 24H2 ISOA snd this command line argument in the last couple months. It may be patched on newer builds but it's working fine on the ISO I'm using. If I remember I'll post a hash when I'm on a PC.
