Beware that Microsoft just declared that the TPM bypass tricks that's currently work on W11 preview will not work on finale version. Wait and see. I'm not surprised that Microsoft would take that route. Their whole reason for requiring TPM and SecureBoot is to present themselves as security-focused...

Did anything else change from the last time it powered on? Was it working one day and literally didn't work the next, or was it out of use for a while? I don't have a W5 Pro, but checking its details, it seems to have a unique power adapter/port, so I don't know if you have a spare one you can test ...

Thanks for checking that, at least we can assume the settings are correct. I'm curious, how have you been testing the speed?

At first I was going to call you old, and then I realised I remember when Windows 95 hit as well. We've come a long way.

I get witt's comment, but obviously catch11x2 is aware that Server isn't the official OS for the device. However, that shouldn't affect its ability to boot. I personally haven't tried installing Windows Server on mine, but suspect you'll need to check the boot setting in the BIOS. Did you wipe the d...
