If proceed with Upgrade from 22H2 to 23H2:
Normally will run the file setup.exe in the root file structure of the ISO. BEFORE DO THIS the ISO file gets burned on DVD, mounted to a drive, or extracted from ISO to a USB Stick location. You have to do this for both ISOs
Win11_23H2_German_x64v2.iso and Win11_23H2_English_USA_x64v2.iso
There are 2 problems Language should be de-de/German and hardware restrictions.
To bypass the language in the Win11_23H2_German_x64v2.iso extraction replace the folder:
G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\de-de
with
Win11_23H2_English_USA_x64v2\sources\en-us\
We proceed as follows: copy the Win11_23H2_English_USA_x64v2\sources\en-us\ to G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\
Rename the:
G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\de-de\
to
G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\de-de_2\
and the H:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\en-us\ to G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\de-de\ .
This way I can follow in ENGLISH during the upgrade as I do not know German, see screenshots:
3- Bypass Restrictions of Win-11 Pro for WS: upgrade 22H2 to 23H2 *
The last step is to start the Upgrade process from 22H2 to 23H3. If the hardware supports Windows 11, we proceed to run the:
“G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\setup.exe”
But the hardware is unsupported:
So, we proceed as follows:
Open CLI as Administrator and go to the folder:
G:\Win11_23H2_German_x64v2-en\sources\
THEN WE GIVE THE COMMAND:
setupprep.exe /product server
This will start the upgrade process ignoring the Hardware Restrictions of Windows 11.
Please ignore the “Install Windows Server” – It does not matter – it is upgrading the OS in which you run it, in our case Windows 11 Pro for Workstations – but, can also be Windows 11 Home, Windows 11 Pro, if e.g. Home or Pro, Windows 11.
Press “Next”
Press “Accept”
Press “Next”
Press “Install”. [If you use a PC I recommend a UPS or if you use Laptop Plug-in the power cord]
4- After upgrading from 22H2 to 23H2, Win-11 Pro for Workstations, some minor updates may be needed
You proceed normally for minor updates – there is no check for unsupported hardware. See below shots:
here are some German words involved, for unknown reason:
You can search in Settings for “lang”, normally if you log out, re-login, or restart the PC, when prompted – some of the screen words may be in German but you will understand the RESTART Button is self-explanatory.

VMware Workstation Player Update Tips – 17.0.0 to 17.5.0 – unlock macOS VMs
Coming soon post here…

Tips To Note: Crucial point ONE is: Resuming/continuing the update process[after the first restart prompt], of the hypervisor VMware App, is exactly the same steps as you start the update process before. Crucial point TWO is: Disable Anti-Virus temporarily – for me disable AVG Anti-Virus. Ignoring Security Alerts, for running check.exe and unlock.exe patch unlocker files. After all is done, re-enable your Anti-Virus Software. Result: I can now browse and search the web, Google, and YouTube on a macOS VM in a Windows Host PC. I could install Xcode and Apple Developer Tools. Or update Ventura OS to Sonoma OS – if the processor is 8-gen intel and up.
