This PowerShell script can bypass Windows 11 system requirements, Microsoft Account

A new utility is being developed that will help remove the strict system requirements of Windows 11.

A new utility is being developed that will bypass the strict system requirements of Windows 11. It is called UnattendedWinstall and comes as a PowerShell script. It is so called because it is built on Windows Answer files (also known as Unattend or AutoUnattend files).

For those who don't know, Answer files are XML files that essentially allow users to pre-configure, modify, and automate Windows settings during Windows setup. Other third-party applications, such as NTLite, also come with this functionality.

Features of the utility include:

Windows 10/11 Pro installed by default
Bypass Windows 11 system requirements
Disable Windows Defender services by default
Disable User Account Control by default
Allow execution of PowerShell scripts by default
Skip mandatory Microsoft account creation during Windows setup
Remove pre-installed bloatware apps except Microsoft Edge, Notepad, and Calculator
Disable Copilot and Recall
Set privacy related registry key to disable telemetry
Limit Windows Update to only install security updates for one year
Optimize registry with multiple keys related to optimization and customization
Disable unnecessary scheduled tasks
Configure Windows services for optimal performance
Enable Ultimate Performance power mode

Besides the features, instructions on how to use are also provided:

Use the UWScript.ps1 file after Windows is installed to reapply or revert settings in case Windows Update resets some settings, or if you encounter any problems.

You can also use UnattendedWinstall to get the same experience as on your current Windows operating system without reinstalling Windows.

Before running the script

Make sure you open PowerShell as an administrator. Also, set the execution policy to allow script execution by running the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Run PowerShell with elevated permissions and allow script execution to ensure that UWScript.ps1 can apply the necessary system changes.

You can find more information on the official GitHub repository. The developer has confirmed that this script also works with the latest version of Windows 11- version 24H2.
