You're right! I used Flyby11 (https://github.com/builtbybel/Flyby11) which more or less is a somewhat simplified way of/guide for downloading the Windows 11 ISO, mounting it, and executing a "Windows Server" upgrade (a special flag to the setup program, which skips the hardware checks). You can choose to keep all your files and settings during the upgrade. Worked like a charm!

Not sure how the absence of a TPM affects things -- maybe things like BitLocker and similar won't work (but I wasn't using that in Windows 10 either)...

Best regards
