Step 5. When the process is complete, you will see that your USB drive will=

Wrong approach #1: Your Air has Yosemite or older. The Bootcamp of those ve=
rsions actually don't care which version of Windows you try to install. So =
you download i Windows 10 ISO, get your reasonably large USB drive and get =
started. The Bootcamp assistant happily downloads Windows support files, fo=
rmats the USB drive and copies Windows installation files. However, after a=
 while copying files the process fails saying the USB drive is out of space=
. It is not. However, the Bootcamp Assistant formats the drive using regula=
r FAT and one of the Windows installation files is larger than 4 GB. There =
is no way of pre-formatting the USB drive with exFat or making Bootcamp use=
 anything else than FAT.

Upon installing the Trackpad++ driver and Control Module, your computer wil=
l need to be restarted and will do so automatically at the end of the insta=
llation. It is recommended to close the running programs, pause downloads, =
etc., before you start the installation procedure.

Q.: Is there a proven working method of installing Windows 11 on an Intel-b=
ased Macbook, Macbook Pro, or Air?

 A.: Here is the method that worked for us (valid as of October 2021 for an=
y Windows 10 compatible Macbook).
1. Download 64-bit Windows 10 ISO image from Microsoft (Link: -gb/software-=
download/windows10)
2. In macOS Use "Boot Camp Assistant" app and feed it with downloaded ISO i=
mage in order to initialize and install the Boot Camp environment normally.
3. When Windows 10 is up and running, go to AveYo MCT GitHub and from there=
 download / unzip the zip archive (you might need to click the "Code" butto=
n on that page in order to see the zip download option).
4. From the folder where you unpacked that zip, run "MCT/Skip_TPM_Check_on_=
Dynamic_Update_v2.cmd".
5. From the same folder, run "MediaCreationTool.bat" (a window titled "MCT =
Version" should appear).
There choose "11". Another window will appear, there choose "Auto Setup", t=
his will download Windows 11 21H2 and install it for you.

From this point you can use the Windows OS you've installed to carry out th=
e downloads and media transfer material you need to recover the Dell PC. Fo=
r help with this please refer to the information in sections 5 and 6.

Plug in your USB media and then using Boot Camp locate the PC ISO file from=
 the folder where you downloaded it to and click continue.



The following article provides information on how to download the Dell ISO =
recovery image file, how to download and install the Dell OS Recovery Tool =
and create a USB recovery media to reinstall Microsoft Windows on your Dell=
 PC. If you need to install or reinstall Microsoft Windows on your Dell PC,=
 you can download a customized Dell recovery image and create your own USB =
recovery media.

The old hard drive had a still working but slow spinning disk drive full of=
 personal documents and photos from my family. I use s3ql and Google Cloud =
Storage for my cloud backups and wanted to do a complete backup of this dri=
ve. It was easy to get the iMac to boot off of a Debian live USB, install s=
3ql and its dependencies on that, and do rsync to backup the whole drive. H=
owever, if you read the patch notes, s3ql had some serious sounding data co=
rruption bugs and I needed to fsck the backup volume and also run a special=
 data verification tool related to the data corruption issue. Furthermore, =
that tool worked by fetching the entire GCS blob to just to verify its size=
. I am not positive why they couldn't just get the size from the GCS metada=
ta but it may have been related to the on-the-fly compression they do to yo=
ur blobs. At any rate my volume is huge and it'll take forever to download =
and validate all these blobs so I have to spin up a one-off VM in the cloud=
 just to do this fsck stuff and it still costs me like $40+ and a few days =
of VM time to do the entire fsck. s3ql's been an OK tool but its maintainer=
ship has not been great and it's had a few of these unfortunate bugs, enoug=
h to give me pause and question whether I should be using it for backups. S=
tay tuned, maybe I'll have the time to write my replacement for cloud backu=
p some day.

Boot Camp provides a standalone download of 500 MB worth of Windows drivers=
 for 64-bit Windows 7. This includes Apple-proprietary drivers for parts of=
 the hardware but also the third-party stuff like the graphics card and net=
work cards. I kept those on a USB drive and figured it would be one quick i=
nstall to get everything working, right? Well, Apple's installers really di=
dn't like my machine, for whatever reason. The installers didn't think I wa=
s running Windows on an iMac and wouldn't even attempt to install any drive=
rs. I figured it was some sort of chicken and egg thing: because the driver=
s left by Boot Camp before Windows was installed got wiped, there must be s=
ome key drivers that I missed out on that allow the other driver installers=
 to recognize that this was a Mac. Either way, I now have to bootstrap this=
 entire machine's drivers from scratch.

Now that I have internet access I kick off Windows Update to download the i=
nevitable patches but also hoping to get all of the drivers I need. However=
, Windows Update simply doesn't work. My Windows 7 ISO had SP1 slipstreamed=
 into it, and it dates from 2012-2013 so it may even have more updates incl=
uded. But at some point either a certificate expired or SSL settings change=
d or something and Windows 7 can't even communicate with Windows Update to =
get the list of available updates. Some quick Googling turns out I need a s=
pecial KB update to get around this hitch. But even then I am having troubl=
e - the old Internet Explorer lacks the certs/SSL support to view the insta=
ller page on Microsoft's website! I install modern Chrome, which of course =
ships with modern SSL and certificates, and Chrome will display the downloa=
d page for me. But there's something about the installer download itself it=
 doesn't like - another cert error or malware detection or something - and =
it won't allow you to download the installer and gives me no opportunity to=
 override it. So I wind up having to browse to the update's web page in Chr=
ome, copy the URL for the installer off of there, and paste it into Interne=
t Explorer which will gladly let me download the installer. The patch works=
 and we're back at it - Windows Update is working.

Upon reboot I am greeted with 163 urgent updates. This was the start of 3-4=
 hours of downloading, patching, and rebooting. There's detours in there to=
 install some more KB updates to get around further issues with deprecated/=
changing security code (something about SHA2 hashes of update packages?) an=
d fully download and install every single update it wants. The SSD is a lif=
esaver here but I'm still stuck on the wonderfully CPU-bound and single-thr=
eaded Windows Update.

AMD still distributes old Radeon drivers for all of its graphics cards. I d=
ownload a few versions but none of them are letting me install - they don't=
 think I have a Radeon! This is troubling. Ultimately, I go to a somewhat-s=
ketchy bootcampdrivers.com and get their patched driver which installs smoo=
thly and brings up a working graphics card. I'm OK with leaving theirs inst=
alled as that driver is probably as modern as I'll get.
