• New ADK: Windows 11, version 22H2 (Updated September 2023)

  Looks like Microsoft has recently updated the ADK download page with a new version updated this month. It's still called Windows 11 version 22H2 but installs with new internal version of 10.1.25398.1. As this version is not listed on the Configuration Manager supported ADK versions page, I think it's safe to assume that as of right now, it is not supported with ConfigMgr. So, if you're about to deploy a new... Source: 8 months ago

• Is it appropriate for IT to request user login information to complete profile setup

  Thanks for your time! The AIK (now called "ADK") in particular is a tool I'm about to familiarize myself with. I suspect it'll end up being useful to me, if not now then later. Source: 12 months ago

• How do I skip Windows 11 setup?

  No, not at that stage. The answer file must be added during the creation of a Windows ISO. You use the Windows ADK which means you'll need a second computer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install. Source: about 1 year ago

• Windows 11: Just say no

  "Just say no." For home computers, I said no many years ago and never looked back. Best computer-related decision I ever made. However I sometimes wonder, since strides have been made in booting Windows from USB and with introduction of WinPE, could we have a small, limited purpose "Windows botable USB drive" that we could boot into to edit Word documents or Excel spreadsheets or some other Office task, then... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Has anyone updated to latest Windows 10 release without issues?

  It is well known that windows does not play well with anything boot related. Veracrypt needs to install a bootloader in order to properly boot, and windows often modifies the UEFI that is likely to cause conflicts. You can try to use something like Window PE or Linux from an usb and modify your boot loader. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Le school blocking games has arrived

  If your school computers weren't configured to prevent booting on a USB flash drive, you can make a bootable Windows PE USB flash drive, make your school computers boot on it, and use regedit from Windows PE to edit the Windows registry of the Windows install on the computer's hard drive, as I have yet to see any school computer on which the Windows partition is encrypted. Then you can find a way to get admin... Source: about 3 years ago
