I've gotta say, a Bible signed by the actual anti-Christ, would be a hell of a collector's item.

So is this so we can, for example, upgrade a Win10 VM to Win11 ?

It can upgrade any Win10 install to Win11 and not lose any data, even if the hardware is not supported by Win11.

I've done it differently.
Open an administrator Powershell prompt and launch setup from an unmodified Windows 11 ISO by first mounting the ISO (double clicking on it), then switching to that drive letter in powershell (if the mounted ISO is the D drive, then type "D:" in the powershell prompt and hit enter), then type the command "./setup.exe /product server" (with quotes). Setup will begin. Ignore the text about installing "Windows Server" as it's actually just installing whatever is on the ISO without any requirements.
I did this on an old Dell N7110 that does not have UEFI. Only MBR. Worked without any issues.
