Yeah you're right, these hacks usually lead to trouble down the line, and sometimes the tools you need to use are shady. I'm wary of letting some script-kiddie tool touch my kernel drivers. I'm fine with putting in extra effort once - especially if I'm not paying for the software. But the maintenance of all these little things add up and I'd rather spend that time with my kids.
Also this was more to express disbelief and frustration with how difficult MS makes it. I'm paying for this product (three times over, in fact) and they are adding draconian security features that prevent me from using it the way I want to. When I said I had no idea how to install Windows 11, I meant I had no idea how to do it using methods supported by Microsoft.
