It doesn't change anything unless you configure it to.

Are you referring to the bypass methods? No TPM...

Let's install Windows 11 on incompatible hardware

Yes, you can install on a VHD, but if you have a spare disk you can install there. If the spare disk is large enough, I would clone my current system and upgrade to Windows 11 (if it was Windows 10 or earlier) to see how it is going with the applications I use every day.

Are you asking what the differences are between
- an installation USB made by Rufus, and
- an installation USB made by the Media creation tool?

First I'd have to ask, "Have you actually used Rufus yet?"
You'll never get a list of the files it either removes or changes....that's proprietary information.
And if you HAVE used it, where did you get the ISO that it used?
I use only ISO's from a non-Microsoft source, that have already been mostly 'Decrapified'.
Then Rufus takes out all the compatibility BS, and leaves a nice clean OS to install. Sweet!
Just in case you've not seen the Rufus Options menu yet, here it is:
Rufus Opts.jpg
Windows 11 is actually a pretty nice, friendly and efficient OS, once you remove all the MS BS.
Rufus is like a "Stanley Steamer" for Windows.

Cheers Mate,
TM :cool:

If you're saying that Rufus tries to hide how it configures the media, in order to apply the customisation options selected by the user, you couldn't be more wrong. Rufus is 100% Open Source, so we are very explicit and open about what we are doing so anybody who wishes to can find exactly what operations Rufus performs for any stage of its operations.

Especially, in this case, Rufus (mostly) uses the official method of customising Windows installation media, which Microsoft bakes into the Windows installation process (so that corporate people can tune Windows to their wishes) through the creation of an answer file, also commonly referred to as unattend.xml.

In this specific case, the way Rufus creates its unattend.xml is all very openly documented here or, if you don't want to read code, you can usually find the answer file in \sources\$OEM$\$$\Panther\.

Note that I said "mostly" above because for the TPM/Secure Boot/etc bypasses, we try to avoid using an answer file on account that it produces an unsightly command prompt window to briefly appear during the installation, so, instead, we insert the well known bypass registry keys (again, these are settings that Microsoft themselves baked into the Windows installer process and that don't require altering any binaries) into the registry hive contained in the boot.wim pre-installation environment (and you can also find out how we do so by reading our very public code).
