I did what Win11 24H2 user did, except that no command line
is required. Just mount to ISO and run setup.exe. Stay offline.
Choose an update. It worked fine for me, despite TPM2 being
disabled. Worth a try.

   If you're the type who religiously updates then it might make
sense for you. I just did it out of curiosity, to see how salvageable
Win11 is. It's not too bad. I cleaned it up, removed Edge, installed
Classic Shell... Compared to Win10 there are just a few glitches
so far: The taskbar is a mess and it was hard to get quicklaunch
back. My utility to customize folders doesn't seem to be working.

   In general, MS have broken a few things, but basically it's just
Win10. They just picked a version and decided to start calling it
11, in order to force people to accept their crap. But Copilot
and the Apps are now gone on my system, with no problems.
