Clean Install Windows 11 on GigaBYTE 970A-DS3P (FX-6300)

When Installing offline with an official unpatched Windows 11 24H2 ISO image, it's important to use your product key. Never slipstream updates with 24H2, and only patch after you've activated. When you get to the OOBE screen during setup, press SHIFT + F10 to open the Command Line, and run the following batch file, which should be saved on another drive prior to running setup:

Use Notepad to create this file on your desktop or another folder: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openscriptlab/files/Batch_PowerShell/WinPE_BypassNRO.bat/download

NOTE: Set the system clock right away, and the language and region. Don't install a discrete GPU driver, until you activate your copy of Windows, given it contains a UWP / ,NET MAUI App, which will be disabled, unlike default Windows Apps like Calculator / Notepad. ONLY Install dependencies, networking software, and the AMD Chipset driver, on an unactivated image. This motherboard does meet the requirements for Windows 11 24H2 64-bit, and has an fTPM ( TPM 2.0 ) support, which has been available since 2006, though on a laptop it would have been first available in 2008 to 2009 or so. You often have to use a script like this so you can install offline with an unpatched ISO Image. If changes are made before you activate, then you have to disable Tamper Protection first, using the Windows Security Center from the Settings UI. Also, DO NOT disable Smart App Control or the Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist. It will be really hard to patch using Windows Update if you do this, and most likely Microsoft Store Apps will be non-functional if you reset them ( it will give you a read only error or it will be unable to register them. If the Security Center Service is disabled, or the LaunchProtected and Security registry keys are modified from the default value, it won't allow you to update, even if you activate over the phone, though you can restore the original registry keys offline using the Windows Preinstallation Environment. ) When activating, use SLMGR /ATO on the Command Line, and then SLMGR /CPKY when the activation is successful, making sure to whitelist the following program and service:

Program: C:\Windows\System32\SLUI.exe ( Windows Activation Client )
Service: Windows License Manager Service ( LicenseManager)
