Alternative: "Hybrid Windows 10/11 USB" Method:
This is another obscure, registry-free method if you want to bypass Windows 11 compatibility check in the Dell community forums. It involves tricking the installer by creating a hybrid bootable USB.
The Trick: You use a Windows 10 installation USB (which has no strict requirements) and replace its large installation file (install. esd or install. wim) with the one from a Windows 11 ISO .
Process: Create a Windows 10 USB, delete the install.esd (or .wim) file from its sources folder, and paste the install.esd (or .wim) file from the Windows 11 ISO in its place .
Note: This method may require formatting the USB drive to NTFS if the Windows 11 file exceeds 4GB (the FAT32 limit) . This approach is less common and more of a "hack" than the DISM method.
