win11

Here are the steps to detect, disable and enable SMBv1 client and server by using PowerShell commands with elevation.

NB: The computer will need to be restarted to complete enabling or disabling SMBv1.

If your computer or virtual computer is missing a TPM or SecureBoot, or you just don't want them to be used, Windows 11 will fail to start the install process with this message:

This PC can’t run Windows 11
This PC doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements to install this version of Windows. For more information, visit https://aka.ms/WindowsSysReq.

Fear not! This checks and more can be outright disabled and windows will still work just fine (for now!).
