Upgrading with the Windows 11 RTM ISO on a well-below spec computer

1 How to upgrade from Windows 10 by using the downloaded RTM ISO in a Repair install [In-place upgrade] procedure i.e. mounting the ISO and running its setup.exe.

I set Power options beforehand so the monitor would stay on the whole time and I'd be able to glance over to see how it was getting on.

2 While it was preparing itself, I watched its temporary working folders populate then I deleted
C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\appraiserres.dll
[thus bypassing compatibility checks]
before then responding to the Ready to install dialog.

3 The installation then ran without incident.
I deliberately chose to skip updating during the installation.
4 This procedure worked. My wildly below spec computer now has Windows 11.

There is
no compelling reason to upgrade to Win11 , atm , there are more reasons not too than there are too...use the delay tool given by MS
quite a stable version at this stage but deffo a few things untechy peeps might come upon
