Can I bypass windows 11 requirements for clean install?

You can replace a File on the USB (The appraiserres.dll Swap) for bypassing Windows 11 requirements for clean install. This is an older method that still works. It involves manually modifying the files on the bootable USB you created with the Media Creation Tool.

How to Bypassing Windows 11 Requirements for Clean Install:

1. Create your bootable USB using the Media Creation Tool as you did before.
2. Before trying to install, plug the USB into a working Windows PC.
3. Navigate to the sources folder on the USB drive.
4. Find the file named appraiserres.dll.
5. Delete this file or rename it to something like appraiserres.dll.bak.
6. Now, you need a replacement file. You can get this by downloading the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, creating a Windows 10 USB, and copying the appraiserres.dll file from its sources folder to your Windows 11 USB's sources folder.
7. Alternatively, you can often find this file available for download on tech forums, but be cautious about the source.

This method "tricks" the installer into using the less-strict Windows 10 compatibility checker.
