What I expect to suck:
-
It has some sort of reinstall thing needed every x months.
-
Windows 11 Home cannot disable internet search via a registry key, and it does not have access to Group Policy settings.
Usage and troubleshooting ∞
Much of the Windows 10 notes will work.
Generic low-level installation check ∞
- Open an admin command prompt
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
-
Restart
Install Windows 11 without an internet connection or Microsoft account ∞
~2022-07-06 -- While there are some other variations, these instructions were easy to remember and worked for me:
When you find yourself prompted to set up your internet connection:
shift-F10
for a console- (in the console)
taskmgr
to launch the Task Manager- (In the Task Manager)
- Click "More Details" at the bottom-left.
- In the Processes list, find "Network Connection Flow"
right-click
and select "End task"- Exit the Task Manager
- (In the command prompt)
-
exit
Determine drive usage on Windows 11 on the commandline ∞
