Installing WIndows 11 on Unsupported Hardware [View all]

There are several methods out there that are supposed to let you install Windows 11 on hardware that fails the Secure Boot/TPM and hardware requirements. I cannot seem to get them to work because MS seems to have blocked the downloading of Windows 11 Iso file. Could someone try to go to this site and see if they can get to the point of actually downloading the Iso file?

I am trying to download the English-US 64 bit version.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11

Here is the error I get:
