 When it gets to "privacy settings", turn off EVERYTHING.
+==== "Incompatible" CPU or other such bullshit ====
+=== During upgrade from Win10? ===
+If, during an upgrade from Win10, it complains that your CPU isn't right for whatever reason, run these in an admin command prompt:
+<code>
+reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup" /v AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
+</code>
+Then download an install ISO e.g. from [[https://os.click|https://os.click]]. Extract the ISO and run setup from there.
+=== During initial install? ===
+Make your USB stick with Rufus, and have it turn off those checks. The dialog to do so appears when you click "START".

 You can lock Windows to a certain "feature update" (e.g. "24H2") to prevent unexpected major updates:
-  *
+  * Win+R, "gpedit.msc"
+  * Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Windows Update for Business
+  * Enable and set "Target Feature Update version" to the version you want to keep, e.g. "24H2". (Note: you can find the currently installed edition under "Version" in "About this PC".)
+  * Run "gpupdate /force" or reboot to take effect
-Win+R, "gpedit.msc"
+===== Prevent Microsoft account linking =====

+If you don't need dumbass buttons sprinkled throughout Windows offering to let you "ask copilot about it" (where "it" might be your private records or a 200 page PDF), then I have good news -- you can rip that garbage out!
