Install Windows 11 from command line

1. Download a Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft official site.
2. Double-click and mount the ISO as a virtual drive, and the new drive should open automatically. Take note of the drive letter in the address bar. In our case, it's E:, but it may vary.
OR
Insert your USB installation drive
3.Run cmd as administrator, go to the installation drive, run: .\setup.exe /Product Server /Compat IgnoreWarning /MigrateDrivers All
4.The setup should launch, but labeled as a Windows Server installer.
5.Click through the process as you normally would, and Windows 11 will begin installing.
While this trick is still supported as of version 24H2, the latest Insider builds in the Cnary channel have blocked this workaround for installing Windows 11. It may no longer work in the future.
