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:
