Windows 11 on Z83-4

How did you get the drivers to install (specifically the graphics driver)? I have not been able to do this.

Afer unpacking the drivers I went into device manager and selected each unrecognized device > update driver > point to Z83-4 CherryTrail-T3-64bit drivers/Installer/PlatformInstaller/Drivers folder & let it search. The only problematic one is the Wifi driver which has a ReadMe.txt saying
"Put the "4345r6nvram.txt" NVRAM document under the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers
Then restart the computer to take effect."
After that It began pulling down windows updates, of course I was worried a large update would come down & choke the drive.
The Intel display drivers updated themselves then I think the largest Windows 11 update was 400mb.

Was the first Win11 update available with this patched version ?

Yes windows updates download fine.
Perhaps because although our little Minix lacks acceptable storage, memory, cpu etc it does feature TPM 2.0.
Makes you wonder about Microsofts assertion that bypssed installations won't get updates.

I am editing my existing post. I was able to simplify the install to the following:

-Install Windows 11 using shirooo39's Bypass that rupert3k referenced
-After Completion, Install all updates in Settings > Windows Update AND all updates in Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional Updates
-Reboot
-Check for Updates
-Install all new updates in Settings > Windows Update AND all new updates in Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional Updates
-REPEAT THE PREVIOUS 2 STEPS UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO UPDATE
-Open Device Manager and manually update all unknown devices using the Z83-4 drivers
-Copy the 4345r6nvram.txt file to C:\Windows\System32\drivers
-Reboot

After running Disk Cleanup, I have 6.57 GB free space.

I can also CONFRIM the following:
As rupert3k stated, Windows Update works just fine.
The SD Card Slot works (I know this has been an issue before, just don't know if it was ever resolved)

Hi, I tried this today but did not succeed. I created a bootable usb on a thumb drive, tried to install via boot, and from windows. Both time I ran into an error saying the drive was not large enough. I needed 64 GB drive to install windows 11.

Tried then to run "update" to windows 11, but that didn't work either.
Could you please explain how you managed to actually make a viable installer. Did you download an ISO or use media creation tool?
Thanks

Morning my Z83-4 brothers , hadn't booted Z83-4 since November.
Just now I started with 8gb free, 7.8gb after updating KB5009566 / KBD5010795 etc & disabling hibernation.
Deleting NDIS-20211011-1535.dmp in C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports freed 570mb.
451mb of MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate.
214mb from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
8.98gb free, sulking can't hit 9gb
Desperate times call for desperate measures; execute pagefile.sys!
9.63gb free but 10gb keeps calling.
Performance & boot times seem slightly improved since 11 GM.
Long live Atom!
