Success!
This is on a Dell Precision M6800, which originally failed because:
- Not secure boot
- Only TP 1.2
- CPU
Normally I use MBR partitioning, so am very unfamiliar with GPT, but
from within Windows booted from MBR I took a spare disk and partitioned
it as GPT, and imaged it with my current W10Pro build (derived from my
W7Ult build with all my chosen software, customisations, etc). However
I couldn't get it to boot. After some fiddle-faddle getting to be able
to boot via USB from within UEFI, I ran a start-up repair, but this
failed to cure the problem. After many and various attempts, all of
which failed, I just installed Windows 10 from scratch, and then
overwrote the result by imaging it again with my own build, and finally
that worked, and I had my W10Pro image booting via secure boot off a GPT
partitioned disk.
In that build, I set the registry hack given in the above page linked by
the OP, Oliver, which was:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Then I ran the upgrade from a standard USB stick with a standard MS 24H2
iso - ie: AFAIAA, no Rufus customisations - and, so far, it seems
fine ... Well, as fine as any modern installation of Windows will ever
be! Why o why do they have to change the taskbar and menus AGAIN!
My feelings about this remind me of a Monty Python sketch where (this
from memory) John Cleese in a pinstripe suit, bowler hat, and carrying a
briefcase and a furled umbrella and a folded copy of 'The Times' is
walking down the street and is waylaid by a reporter who asks: "Sir, how
would you solve the problem of the poor?", to which he replies: "First I
think we should bomb their houses to get them running out into the
street, and then we should mow them down with machine guns. Of course,
I understand that my views are not popular, particularly with the poor,
but, really, I think it's the only solution!" Likewise, I think that
any Microsoft programmer who makes needless changes to the GUI for
change's sake should be taken out and shot. Of course, I understand
that my views are not popular, particularly with Microsoft programmers,
but, really, I think it's the only solution!
However, to mollify me somewhat, for today as my login screen Spotlight
gives me a very pretty photo of a carpet of bluebells in a steepish
clearing in a Dorset wood, luvverly:
