What's this?
- epistasis 8mo ago
  Whenever I see an unexplained command I don't understand from a random internet forum, I hop onto the production server and run it, just in case it might boost performance. Wouldn't want to miss out on that. Been doing it since I was 12. It taught me all about the ins and outs of `rm`.

    Sounds like me back in the early 80s when I used to war dial, and people used to share "active" prefixes. I learned all about the 911 prefix when I set my dialer and went to sleep. About 20 minutes later the cops were banging on my front door. True story; I was in 6th grade, got arrested for it.

        I got taken to juvenile hall, put in a holding area with kids that had stolen cars and stabbed other kids in fights. The funny thing is all these "bad kids" were really cool; we talked about video games (Donkey Kong!). I remember one kid got into a fight with his football coach and broke both the coach's legs. He was a big kid, looked like a grown man. He was pretty much in charge of the holding area. But he was cool as hell, cracked jokes with me. I actually kinda enjoyed the holding area. Anyway, the officials thought I had just called 911 over and over, like to play a prank. They wouldn't hear anything about my computer or whatever (it was the early 80s). They were pissed. I was kept in the holding area for a few hours, then they let me go home. I was ordered to a bunch of community service, cleaning the parking lots of local parks, stuff like that.

        sounds like fun, well except for the community service. I bet you'd be in a lot more of trouble if you did that now

    Reminds me of that story from an IRC channel: A: I have a program that will format your hard drive. I just need your IP. B: Ok, it's 127.0.0.1 A: Ahahaha, it 56% now! Lol. A left the chat. Connection reset by peer.

  A work-around to install on unsupported hardware which both works, but is unsupported and could break during a feature Windows Update.
  - bobsterlobster 8mo ago
    At this point I'd say it's more of a "would" than a "could"

  A clever way to maximize the chances that your computer gets bricked on a future Patch Tuesday.
  - jama211 8mo ago
    It’s really not
    - bunderbunder 8mo ago
      Some of the checks are around CPU features that they don’t currently use but may use in the future. And CPUs don’t typically respond super gracefully to being asked to execute instructions they don’t understand.
      - jama211 8mo ago
        I’ll bet you $100 my supposedly unsupported cpu is never kicked off of windows 11. There’s just no chance.
bobsterlobster 8mo ago
Yeah, until microsoft says "Sup there lil buddy? Running an unsupported system? Oof. The next update is gonna really turn it inside-out"
- billfor 8mo ago
  Take backups and disable the updates with group policy. OP just wanted to install Windows 11.
  - HumblyTossed 8mo ago
    Seriously, if people are willing to learn all this, they can easily learn Linux and simply tell the corporate overlords to fuck right off.
  - a_victorp 8mo ago
    Just stay at windows 10 at this point. The whole point of upgrading to 11 is to not stay on an unsupported OS
- stronglikedan 8mo ago
  Well that's never happened before (with Windows anyway), so it's not likely to happen now.

    Has happened: Core2Duo, Opteron64 and Athlon64 can run W11 RTM They will bluescreen booting after an update to 24H2 because they are missing the POPCNT instruction. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/windows-11-24h2-goes-from-unsupported-to-unbootable-on-some-older-pcs/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/windows-11-24h2-goes...
    - dist-epoch 8mo ago
      Athlon 64 is a 20 yo CPU. At some point...

Where can one read the source code of setup.exe That's, e.g., how I would determine what these commands do I have had HN replies in the past that argued Windows is open source and thus comparable to UNIX-like OS projects where _the public_ can read the source code and make modifications, _for free_ Absent the source code, we can read Microsoft's documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-command-line-options?view=windows-11 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactu... It seems like WinPE is the most useful version of Windows, e.g., it allows more options to setup.exe How does one quickly and easily download and install a copy of WinPE, preferably on removable media
- prerok 8mo ago
  Who would argue that Windows is open source? That's hilarious.

  The windows assessment and deployment kit is what you need, with the windows pe add-on: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/winpe-create-usb-bootable-drive?view=windows-11 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactu... You should be aware there's a 3 day limit to uptime, then PE reboots. You can work around that: https://lsoft.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011128377-I-need-to-erase-a-larger-volume-of-data-from-Boot-Disk-but-WinPE-reboots-every-3-days-How-can-I-run-WinPE-based-Boot-Disk-for-more-than-3-days https://lsoft.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011128377-I-n... The other thing to tell you is that this is not a live version of windows with all the features of the full desktop. It is the windows that runs the windows installer application, so enough windows to do that and no more. I would personally recommend linux instead.
