It will; there are tweaks out there that explicitly allow for installing windows 11 on an mbr partition.
Hint: download the latest version of Rufus, point it to a windows 11 iso and select the "Extended installation" mode. The result will happily install itself onto an MBR partition.
I performed an upgrade (!) of a windows 10 installation to windows 11 in this manner; I'm writing from this SSD right now.

I'm feeling bewitched by this entire story of rejection of He Jiankui. Could someone here please describe in layman's terms what's wrong with the _ethics_ of germline editing?
Edit: yes it's gonna be crazy expensive and 10+ years will pass before the tech is ready for mass use, I realize that.

There is a try/catch/finally mechanism in powershell: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft...
However, it is quirky to set up and I don't remember the details now, it doesn't handle the errors out of the box for sure.
I would still prefer powershell over bash (or god forbid, cmd) any day.
