23H2 Installing on I7-6700 with no bypass

Topic

New Reply

Messing around the last few days and did a fresh install of 23H2 on an I7-6700 CPU created with Media Creation Tool and using OOBE bypass. No hacks and it installed fine without a mention of CPU, so I did another staying online throughout and it also installed and updated without issue. Wonder if MS is loosening restrictions or goofed???

Probably goofed.

In December Windows 11 even lost some OS share %

..In December 2023, Windows 11 lost a small fraction of its user base. According to Statcounter, it went down from 26.63% to 26.54%..

What does PC Health Check App / WhyNotWin11 say ?

Been running 11 on it for about a year using a workaround with no issues. Happened to read about someone upgrading without issue so figured I’d test 🙂

CyberSAR, that device W10 image may come in handy (keep it safe)

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...

You said you did a fresh install. Was that an in-place upgrade or a clean install?

Clean install. 1st one I did offline and then updated after doing my privacy and performance settings. Was curious so wiped drive and did another while connected to internet allowing for updates and all. Both worked fine.
