So downloaded Thumpers latest 11 upload found here! So will this get all the windows updates or is it just a limited trial version?

Sorry about that, thanks for editing it out of my post.
Another question, could I just run the MAS file for a free trial version of windows 11?
 
No big problem Hawkey. KMS used to work across the entire Microsoft line. It's my understanding Microsoft fixed the weakness in their software. If you look around in torrent indexes you may find the newer version of KMS. Honestly you can buy a legit retail license for Win 11 Pro for $12.99 from well-known retailers and never have to worry. That's up to you. I guess it's how much of a pirate you are, I know I am. I think a member here might help you out, that's up to them.
Anyway good luck and welcome to all of ours forum

No links to downloads please. Just mentioned where you found the download, (in this case ( 1337x ). Let's keep the place clean and not give the DMCA police to shut us down. 15 years now! let's go for another 15 glorious years.

Agreed.
 
I have one word that will solve all your problems. Don't leave home without it..

RUFUS

Fixes all your problems and creates a bootable USB from Microsoft's latest ISO download.
Do a web search, it's out there. Only use the version from the author's site
 

Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

Rufus: Create bootable USB drives the easy way
rufus.ie

This is the only site Mr Dog suggests is used to download this wonderful utility.

Copy it, paste it, download it.

It is a free to use program with NO FEES attached. Do NOT download it from any other site as this may compromise your computers security as they alter the download package to include trojans and viruses into the package.

I use this utility to make USB bootables frequently and have done for many years. At one time you could make bootable floppys with it. Shows how long its been around
 
Ok thanks guys! If I need anymore help I'll be sure to come back. I have used RUFUS before... a very long time ago. Gotta new gaming pc coming soon and looking to make the switch to Win 11 Pro from 10 Pro.

Yeah the last MS OS I paid for was Visa and swore never to give them another penny! I get the feeling I'm not alone in this feeling around here! :D

Speaking of RUFUs and as I'm using it again going through installing windows. Thought I'd point out the new 4.14 beta version of it is even better.
Windows User Experience improvements:
- Add a "Quality of Life" option, to disable Teams, Outlook, Copilot and other Microsoft forced nuisances
- Add a Silent installation option, that automatically, and WITHOUT PROMPT, installs Windows on the first detected disk
- Add an option to copy 'SkuSiPolicy.p7b' to the ESP on installation (refer to KB5042562)
- Add tooltips for all the dialog options

Vista, wow id forgotten that one. Good idea half cocked and supported even less

Great but BETA means it is a TEST VERSION, not a complete thing yet. Most Beta is fine to use, just remember to report any errors back to the origtinal site so they can be seen to in the final release.

o7 GOOD POST Hawkey
 
Quick report back... everything went fine using the new beta RUFUS. Though the only new feature I used was the QoL to disable Teams, Outlook, etc.
