Tonight, another good movie, titled "City of Ember", is available on the forum.

The story: For generations, the city of Ember has languished in a world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers in a race against time must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever.

Quote from: humbert on July 17, 2026, 05:14 AMCan you mount the iso and see a setup.exe that will allow you to install it over an existing installation?

Every time I've tried to to install one, all I get is that hateful "undoing changes" prompt, which brings you back to square one.
If a classic upgrade failed  with a loop "Undoing changes", it usually means that missing files on your current Os messed things up.
If the upgrade continues to fail, it might be worth formatting the computer. If you have an existing partition, it's probably easy to save your files.

PS: I realized that the touchpad is not working during the installation of the latest version that was uploaded (I found this out when I tried to boot the iso on a laptop and not in a virtual machine, it's due to the tiny version of boot.wim). Use a usb mouse if you try to install it. This problem will be solved in the next version which will contain a slightly bigger boot.wim with more drivers.

Note that a new version of windows 11 will be released next week with updated programs and drivers.
This version will be at least 400mb smaller since it will include a custom-made tiny boot.wim file (190mb instead of 560 for the original). Despite its size, the essential drivers were kept, and there will be no visual change during the installation. This version is still installable on every machine, including virtual machine.

In the 1930s, after becoming the German chancellor, the Fuhrer was looking for the perfect spot to establish an official mountain retreat. Obersalzberg was chosen, a dramatically scenic mountainside area a few miles uphill from the market town of Berchtesgaden. The region, a finger of Bavarian territory that pokes south into Austria, had long been one of the classic Romantic corners of Germany. There, the Fuhrer had a modest chalet renovated into a supersized alpine farmhouse, named the "Berghof". The Fuhrer spent a lot of time in this chalet, surrounded by nature, gently receiving alpine flowers from adoring children, lounging with farmers in lederhosen, and watching western movies with the guests in the theater room.
The users of the forum will certainly appreciate this exceptional documentary showing renovated images of the German Fuhrer.

QuoteSo it's a simple question of removing autounattneded.xml from the ISO? Or is there anything else that needs to be removed?
That's correct. It's the simplest way to install stock ISO that doesn't have edge and most uwp apps.

QuoteSo just to sum it up: Mounting the ISO and performing an upgrade with setup.exe will work? I ask because other Windows ISO's I've done this don't ask for an activation code or anything like that.

Let me know and I'll give this a shot on the VM and let's see what happens.

BTW I'm not too concerned with all that garbage they put. I use a goodie call Windows10Privacy that gets rid of all that crap. Hibit Uninstaller is also excellent for removing unwanted garbage apps.

How you can type all this using your phone is beyond my comprehension  :)
That is because unattended.xml can't differentiate it as in-place upgrade or clean install and simply asks the same prompts as clean installation process.
You can skip the license and install to existing C drive which will have windows.old folder after successful in-place install.
If you noticed WinApps folder in root the ISO that's where vc++,dx9 and other things are installed from xml file.
I did type now from the PC as it takes too much time to type from the phone
