The current desktop system and the perpetual office suite in one image, with the hardware gate that blocks the standard installer already lifted so it installs on machines the official media refuses.

About this release
Overview
This is the professional edition of the current desktop system with the office suite slipstreamed in, and with the security module and processor generation checks that the standard installer enforces already removed. That last part is the reason it exists. A great many perfectly capable machines are turned away by the official media over a missing hardware module, and this image installs on them without the workarounds the standard installer forces you into.
The system half is the professional edition, so the management features are all present: drive encryption, group policy, remote desktop hosting, virtualisation and domain join, none of which the home edition provides. The office half installs the full professional line-up, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and OneNote, so a fresh machine is ready for real work the moment setup finishes rather than after a second round of installs.
The image is multilingual with the language chosen at first setup, and activation for both the system and the office suite is applied in advance, so there is no separate step to run. The recovery environment is included, and because the hardware checks are lifted, an in-place setup runs to completion on machines where the official installer would stop with a compatibility message.

Changed in this build
Version 24H2 Build 26100
- Hardware compatibility checks lifted so setup completes on unsupported machines.
- Office suite integration updated to the current servicing level.
- System servicing updates slipstreamed for a near current first boot.
- Updated storage and network drivers added for recent chipsets.
- Reduced image size after cleaning superseded component store entries.
Installation
Follow these in order
- Back up everything on the target machine. A clean install erases the system drive.
- Write the ISO to a USB stick of 8 GB or larger.
- Boot from the stick through the firmware boot menu.
- Choose your language and keyboard, then select custom install.
- Delete the old system partitions for a clean install, then select the unallocated space.
- Complete setup, choose the offline account option, then open Word to confirm the office suite is activated.
Release notes
From whoever packed it
- Verify the checksum before writing. A truncated download fails setup partway through.
- Keep the machine offline through first boot so setup does not force an online account.
- Leave feature updates disabled. A major update can reintroduce the hardware check and reset the office activation.
