Can I install windows on a removable drive for use on another computer? Should I stop it right before it restarts on the other computer and let it install on the one I'm planning to use? Can I do all this even if that computer is a laptop with no screen that only has an hdmi-connected monitor?

I have a laptop with a broken screen so I removed it, lid and all, then just used a separate hdmi-connected monitor. Tried to reset windows but the battery is also broken, and I must have bumped the charger cable because now it's bootlooping. I tried using bootable media but the bios can't see the hdmi connection. the monitor itself is fine because I can see the manufacturer logo when its trying to boot into the drive. I tried memorizing the keypresses to get into the boot manager but it seems that the bootable media itself cannot access the hdmi port. my current plan is to get an ssd m.2 to usb enclosure and install windows on it on another computer but I'm worried that the fresh install won't be able to access the hdmi itself on the original computer and it'd be back to square one. Especially since I tried installing windows on two other older laptops and they both can't access the hdmi port without downloading drivers, which I wouldn't be able to do without a screen. If I bought a replacement LCD screen I wouldn't even be sure the connection for that is still good; it's been out in the open for months.

>>102552450
Select "english | world" as your region at install time, dont run stupid scripts from the internet

>>102554641
That only stops the bloat (not everything tho), Shutup10 is actually fine I'd say, very friendly as well, apps like the Titus tool do have a stuff that will break everything if you are not careful

>>102554628
Damn anon just put that poor PC out of its misery

For real tho, the USB M.2 trick is clever, as for the drivers (assuming the installation worked), why not just plugging it to the network so it can download drivers?

Still, I'd say buying the screen is just better, just clean the connection with some isopropyl alcohol and you're good to go

can you do a in place upgrade from 10 to 11 on unsupported hardware??

A recent Windows 11 update completely destroyed an entire computer, safe mode and everything. The built-in recovery, that supposedly downloads an entire image from Microsoft and reinstalls doesn't do anything, and USB/CD installers which appear to add one additional restore option only reboot to the installer. The BSOD that appears is "tcpip.sys", but all public issues with that message that can be found through search engines assume the OS can still be booted. A Lubuntu live CD claims the SSD is fine. Is this actually fixable without a complete reinstall? Of note, is that it also seems to have somehow disabled bitlocker.

>>102554849
im poor lmao

problem with that is the reason im reinstalling windows in the first place is because I have some schizo suspicions of my ISP. I had a third party firewall up and periodically a rule pops up that allows all programs under //c: (im on mobile data rn lmao)

if the network itself is compromised is it possible for them to install some kind of virtual keylogger HID device during this process or is that me being too schizo? is it possible to do some usb tethering shenanigans?

>>102556255
that's unlikely unless you live in a hellhole of a country, the worst they do is using their DNS server to steal your history for advertising but that's about it

If you feel schizo about it you could do some research using process monitor and tcpview, free tools by MS, so you can see if there's any weird connections there

>>102551846
I look like this

>>102552450
O&O Shutup10 recommended settings is all you really need. Just remember to run it after every update to make sure your settings are still active.
Or, if you have a couple more minutes you can set the Group Policies yourself so that ms can't change them with updates. You can look up for a list of the most popular GPEDIT settings for privacy.

thoughts on this? its tiny11 based on IoT LTSC 24H2. in theory this should be THE best windows iso you can get right?
https://archive.org/details/tiny11-2409

>>102552450
What I do is:
1. Use unattended installer for iot ltsc
2. run shutup10 recommended settings, restart
3. run chris titus tool recommended settings, also some other settings in the advanced section, like turning off bg processes. This will reduce running processes at startup from around 130-140 to like 113.

Of course, I tailor the unattended script and chris titus tool settings to iot ltsc so I don't need to check stuff like removing MSstore apps.

>>102557094
no

>>102556635
I think if you use an Enterprise-based edition the registry edits made by ShutUp10 for example don't change between monthly updates, at least in my experience.

When is W11 24H2's official release date?

>>102554628
Rufus can make Windows to Go USBs so you should be able to flash an install to an external drive with it.

>>102557218
There isn't one yet, though I'm guessing it's around the October update

>>102557094
It's one of the better small 11 install solutions, great for VMs for example.

>>102556549
>>102557230
Do I really have to wipe/disconnect the existing drives on the backup computer before flashing to usb?

After windows installs how do I interrupt the automatic restart? I don't want windows to setup according to the backup computer's hardware config.

Once I boot into the fresh install, will the drivers automatically download before the part where it asks me to input language/region/etc? just so I can tell if it worked or not

sorry if these are very simple questions

>>102557637
When you setup a Windows to Go USB with Rufus it basically auto-installs everything to the point of booting into it giving you the OOBE.

>>102557172
why no? ntdev has released a builder tool and even uploaded a tutorial on how to use it with any iso. seems like a credible/trustworthy person

>>102558104
Certain anons in here will say no to *any* customized ISO because they think they all have backdoors or something. It's been shown plenty of times by other Youtubers and NTDEV himself that his Tiny ISOs are clean, and yes NTDEV does seem like a pretty trustworthy guy especially when he open sourced his ISO builder tool.

>>102558140
my thoughs as well. despite windows 11 IoT LTSC already being "debloated" windows without a TPM requirement, tiny11 goes even further and it being based on IoT LTSC 24H2 should give the best performance (in theory). I will still wait for ntdev to release one based on the official iso instead of a preview tho

I've never heard of this new version of Tiny11 cause it isn't by NTDEV, but this guy that made his own variant of it using IoT LTSC 2024 also seems pretty trustworthy with his hash listings and such.

anybody knows why windows enterprise doesnt get activated on new installs when you activated it with hwid before
i remember reading about it, maybe it was something about volumen licenses

>>102558447
I mean if you re-installed and it isn't activated for whatever reason just re-run the HWID activation I guess.

>>102558784
It says right in the description that it's an unofficial IoT LTSC 2024 rebase of Tiny11.

Thinking about upgrading my Windows 7 install to an SSD. If I clone my Windows 7 hard disk, can I avoid having to jump through hoops to get my USB's working again, or is that a bad idea?

i want to test installing windows 11 on an old laptop that has an hdd
will it be usable?

>>102570846
What's the use case though?
it doesn't take more than 1-2 minutes to install windows, and if you plan to install on multiple machines it's faster to do it with mirroring.
If you could install apps than that's different story.
can it be used with ventoy?

>>102571023
>hdd

hell naw, not even 10 runs well on hdd anymore, pick 10 LTSC

>>102571044
Yeah, it can be used with ventoy via auto install plugin.
I mean, the use case for this is simply having the settings to your liking when windows is installed, with the benefit of it being automated. No need to mess with the drives nor setup wifi. If someone's using non iot ltsc, then they can also have store apps removed before windows is installed. Also setting other registry settings and preference settings as well.

>>102571079
IoT LTSC 2021 runs fine enough on a HDD in my experience

>>102571023
I don't know why people pretend HDDs are obsolete now, they are objectively worse than SSDs but for the most part it's not that big of a deal. Both W10 and W11 work just fine on HDDs, it's RAM and CPU that actually carry 90% of the heavy load.

>>102571188

Updated an old beater and took back the ssd to repurpose it for something else.. returned the original old ass 500gb HDD hdd to it because the difference was minimal.

Most difference came from the ram upgrade I did... don't care about the extra 10 seconds of boot time since I keep it on for literally weeks at a time.

>>102571188
I personally have had a lot of issues using windows on HDD, specially family and friends that often their PCs gets stuck in updates because HDDs are just so slow

Finally pulling the trigger on building a new PC and I have a couple of questions: one, what USB drive should I be using? Two, what are the odds of viruses, faulty hardware, or what-have-you corrupting the install and other files/programs as they pass through my current PC and into the USB? Machine I'm using now's kind of an old one, and I haven't been especially careful with it.

>>102572634
If you think your files have a virus in them or something you could always make a HirenBootCD boot USB and run its included ESET scanner. Back up everything you want to keep from the old PC on an external or other USB etc. and make a Windows boot USB using Rufus, which I recommend using either Sandisk or Kingston branded (and in Sandisk's case you can get like a pack of six.)

>>102572696
So that's two boot USBs- one Rufus for the Windows install, one Hiren for the ESET scanner, and I guess a decent SSD or somesuch for the actual files I want to keep? How much capacity would the USB drives need?

>>102572795
You could just buy a set of 16GB or 32GB Sandisks USBs (whatever your nearest PC/office store has) and be all good. Windows install USBs don't need to be very large at all and HirenBootCD is smaller because it's just a live Windows environment using WinPE.
And you can get an external SSD if you'd like, but a 4TB external HDD would be cheaper, I'd recommend a WD brand one.

>>102571188
my HP probook 640 g4 has 2 drive slots. 1 m.2 nvme and 1 2.5in sata. I have windows installed and boot from the m.2 but I also have a 1tb 2.5in HDD that is used only for storage. I wouldn't recommended booting an OS from an HDD not only because of the boot times but everything is just slower overall.

>>102572878
I was stuck with a HDD booting old laptop a couple years ago and I basically got use to it talking like 40 seconds to boot to lock screen. Going back to something with an NVMe in it is quite good.

>>102572634
Windows Defender's gotten really good now that MS finally stopped giving a shit and told AV makers to fuck off.

>>102572841
any reason you said 4TB specifically? even assuming absolutely everything was essential, I've only got 912 GB worth of space on this thing.

>a 4TB external HDD would be cheaper, I'd recommend a WD brand one
I've got a WD Elements (2TB) exHDD- would that do?

>>102573220
I just say 4TB because they're fairly cheap and you get a lot of space that you'll know will basically never run out, but if you already have a 2TB external then just use that.

>>102575859
This is why devs of programs like this say to disable Defender before unzipping and running. Gets in the way otherwise.
The way MAS does it through that PS irm command sidesteps it.
