Hi everyone, On the past few days, I struggled on making a Windows 11 ISO for the version 22000.318. For some reason, uup-converter-wimlib failed to create it and it seems it may have to do with some weird downloads. Yesterday, we got the version 22000.346 and I also downloaded the UUP files for it. uup-converter-wimlib was able to create an ISO for this version, so clearly something is wrong with the 22000.318 files. In fact, looking at the UUP file…

Creating a Working Windows 11 Installation Disc

Creating a Working Windows 11 Installation Disc

Hi everyone, In this post, we will see the steps to follow to make a working Windows 11 Installation Disc. The leaked ISO file currently only works if a machine has Secure Boot enabled and has a Trusted Platform Module 2.0 module. It seems that these requirements are not really needed, at least in this build, but the installer will not let us move forward with the installation if a machine does not satisfies these requirements. This post will make…
