Window 11 Upgrades

...21H2, 22H2v1, 22H2v2, 23H2, 24H2, etc. Thankfully MS only offers the latest version on their site, so it's off to the 'Donkey', Archive.org, or some other file sharing facility to locate the .iso files.

MS will only allow computer that are compliant with their pointless TPM, Secure Boot, and CPU capabilities (SSE 4.2 is a requirement, but Intel CPUs after about 2009 are good to go with that, as for TPM and Secure Boot, find any documented instance in the real world where these features helped or prevented some type of malware attack, go ahead, try.)

From there: https://jensd.be/2070/windows/upgrade-to-windows-11-23h2-on-unsupported-hardware#scenario3 (see the Windows 11 installed, upgrade to a newer version section).

Use Rufus to easily modify the .iso files, instead of doing the direct file editing, then UltraISO (or equivalent to turn it back into an .iso file, as sadly it seems as great as Rufus is, it cannot directly create an .iso file).

Never download the optional updates and features during upgrade (at beginning)
