MediaCreationTool.bat VS WoeUSB

Very long story short - the only way I was able to get it to work without BSOD was to install the latest Canary build of Win11. I used this tool: Offline Insider Enroll because I'm running a bootcamp partition on an intel macbook pro. I also needed to use this tool to bypass the TPM check because the macbook pro is not officially supported: Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update.

I am a longtime Windows User and a big fan of it. Recently, I got the 2017 Intel Mac Pro, which can run Windows from the Mac Bootcamp. Using AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat I managed to get Windows 21H2 on the Macbook. However, a few updates later, and the Windows software is not updating to 22H2. I tried the requirement disabler from that same url, updating all my drivers, and restarting, to no effect. Hoping someone can help.

You can actually use mediacreationtool.bat and it can enable streamline updates like it is natively supported. Been running it alongside macOS on my Mid 2012 MBP and I often forget that it is an unsupported system.Mediacreationtool.bat Github Though since this is a 4th gen Intel system that OP has they can also just use the Microsoft official workaround. Installing Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements

What I did try before uploading this post, was to use the famous mediacreationtool script from aveyo, and the script seemed to work as Windows Update downloaded and installed the update, but after logging in I found that my build number was still the same.

Use this tool to upgrade 10 to 11: https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat

What I do is use https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat to acquire a legitimate iso of windows 10/11 enterprise, then use massgravels MAS(a reverse engineered windows activation script) to permanently activate windows.

Windows uses some weird install process where it needs two partitions for the install media. Basically the whole installation is too big for FAT32 so IIRC the way to have it work is to split the ISO in two having the bootable part on one partition and a lot of the installation content on another.

https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB - you give it an MS iso and where to put it on a USB stick and it will do the job using NTFS, which doesn't have snags with >4GB files.

For flashing Windows I had luck with woeusb.

You want to repost your support request as issue on the WoeUSB issues github page.

instead I needed to use a tool called WoeUSB to create the drive.

Download, install and use woeusb to flash the ISO file to a thumb drive. Then boot from the thumb drive (you might have to use the BIOS boot menu to choose USB boot) and install windows onto the main storage device. You will likely have to use the Windows installer formatting tool before you can choose the installation destination.
