Windows 11 Pro with Office 2021

A combined installation image that lays down Windows 11 Pro and the Office 2021 suite together, with the hardware requirement checks bypassed in setup, so one write to a USB stick produces a machine ready to work.

Version 24H2 Build 26100.2314 8.92 GB x64 bootable ISO Updated 1 week ago

Overview

What this release is

This image answers a simple wish: install once and have a machine that is ready to work rather than ready to start installing more software. It writes Windows 11 Pro and the Office 2021 suite in a single pass, so the desktop that appears at the end already has Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook on it rather than a fresh system waiting for a second download.

The requirement bypass is built into setup, which is the other reason the image exists. Machines without a TPM module, without Secure Boot, or with a processor left off the supported list will install and run normally, because the checks that would otherwise stop the installer are removed at the setup stage rather than on the running system.

This is the 24H2 feature release with the tabbed file explorer, the reworked taskbar, and the current security stack, paired with the perpetual Office 2021 release rather than a subscription. Neither the operating system nor the suite expires, and both are activated during the process.

The ISO is bootable on both UEFI and legacy systems. Apart from the bundled Office and the requirement bypass, the Windows installation is standard, with no stripped components, and Windows Update continues to work afterwards.

Changes in this build

What changed

Rebuilt on the current 24H2 servicing level with the Office suite refreshed
Bypass now also covers the RAM and storage minimum checks
Updated the driver set for recent network and storage controllers
Improved the Office slipstream so it installs without a post-setup step
Fixed the setup restart loop on some older Intel chipsets

Installation

How to install it

Write the ISO to a USB stick of 16 GB or larger with a tool that supports both GPT and MBR targets.
Back up the target drive completely. A clean install removes existing partitions on it.
Boot from the stick and choose Custom installation rather than Upgrade.
Keep the network disconnected through setup to reach the local account option.
After first boot, run the included activation step and verify both Windows and Office in their respective panels.

Questions

Before you start

Is Office really installed with Windows?

Yes. The 2021 suite is slipstreamed into the image and is present on the desktop after the first boot.

Does the bypass weaken security?

It skips an installer check. Secure Boot and BitLocker can still be enabled later if the hardware supports them.

Can I choose not to install Office?

This image installs both together. For Windows alone, use the plain Windows 11 image instead.

Will it keep receiving updates?

Cumulative updates install normally for both. Feature updates may require the same bypass at the next release.
