I could have definitely used this a few weeks ago! Very nice.

So have I, having failed to manage installing Win 11 without a MS account in the end. Actually I only wanted to complete a dual-boot Win 10/11 setup without having to haphazardly install Win 11 on top later, not actually use Win 11.

I could have used it a decade ago!

Now could someone please fix the BCD store mess?

  • Unattend has been part of windows setup for way longer than a decade.

    The current form of it was introduced in Vista.

    The same concept existed before, but I know less about how it worked back then.

    Even without unattend, something I think people don't realize is that you can install windows on the command line. Diskpart to partition, dism /apply-image to extract files, then bcdboot to install the bootloader.
