Create the new ISO file

You name the new iso file as you wish. And here is your customized iso file, it can help you to install Windows 11 on computers with unsupported hardware.

I have tried this iso file on computers with unsupported hardware for Windows 11 operating system, and it works great.

To check if the new iso file is working or not you can try using VMWare software. At the moment VMWare cannot install Windows 11 and will issue the same message as when installing on computers with unsupported hardware. But what if you use the Windows 11 iso file after it has been customized?

You will see it will pass the hardware test and install Windows 11 as usual.
