The "VHDX Boot" bypass is a method that involves installing Windows 11 25H2 on a Virtual Hard Disk (VHDX) and booting from it, which can sometimes circumvent hardware checks and compatibility restrictions on unsupported PCs. This approach leverages booting into a virtual disk environment rather than installing directly onto physical hardware, in this way you are able to install Windows 11 25H2 on unsupported PC.
Steps:
1. Prepare the VHDX File
2. Install Windows 11 onto the VHDX
3. Configure Boot to VHDX
4. Boot into Windows 11 from VHDX
You may need to disable Secure Boot or enable CSM/Legacy mode depending on your hardware. Ensure that your hardware drivers are compatible or available in the VHDX environment.
