Yes; and none of my computers have one. Contrary to popular myth, it is relatively easy to install Win11 Pro without one.

A constant cat-and-mouse game of Microsoft disabling every method to do so as soon as they become somewhat popular is not "relatively easy".

  • Really? I haven't had any problems, even with computers that don't meet the official hardware requirements.

    Download the Win11 Pro ISO, extract it to a USB drive and then execute the command below from it for a totally automated install that bypasses all the BS.

    .\setup.exe /product server /auto upgrade /EULA accept /migratedrivers all /ShowOOBE none /Compat IgnoreWarning /Telemetry Disable

    You're welcome!

    PS: I know it says "server" but when upgrading a desktop machine, desktop is what you will get --- minus a lot of BS.

    • I believe you that that way works today, but once knowledge of it starts to spread, I expect Microsoft to break it, just like they previously broke Shift+F10 "oobe\bypassnro" and "start ms-cxh:localonly".
