These are my current registry tweaks for Windows 11. This is the first edition and should be considered BETA level.
Some of these tweaks I’ve reused from as far back as XP. Some I hunted down, some I found around the web. I make no claim to any of this.

Core Parking
I’ve been perusing the web and came across several articles and forum posts discussing the Core Parking tweak. Folks seem to still be misinterpreting what it actually does and sometimes posting the wrong instructions.
I thought I would try and set things straight.
I would appreciate some feedback on this article, does it make sense, did I get something wrong?

Installing or Upgrading to Windows 11
Many folks have repeatedly asked for a Windows 11 Tweak Guide. I’m not promising that will happen but toward that end I’ve been experimenting with installing and/or upgrading Windows 11 on my main PC.
Since it’s release I’ve done an upgrade with almost every version on Win11.
This go round with version 25H2 I did:
– Update via Windows update
– Update online via setup.exe from an extracted ISO.
– Update offline via setup.exe from an extracted ISO.
– Clean install booting from a USB drive via ISO.
My goal in all this was to use a local account. I do not want a Microsoft account on my PC.

Prepping For Major Windows Updates
It’s been a while since I’ve written about this and with Win10 22H2 coming soon I thought I would post this for new readers.
In the past I used Service Pack updates as an excuse to clean, tweak, and organize my computers as if it were a new install. Gone are the days of Service Packs as Microsoft has moved to a yearly major feature update (version 20H2, 21H1, etc.).
The end result for me is the same and I employ the same strategy as I did before.
* A note before we start, all my “backups” are disk images using a Macrium Reflect Free bootable USB drive.

Upgrading To Windows 11 Beta
Several days ago I said “Not interested” to the pre-Alpha Windows 11. It has now moved to the Beta channel which hopefully means its is at least Alpha grade and I was a little bored so I installed it.
I had to jump through some hoops…
