Hi Thierry,
First, this whole question is more suited for the MX forum, as they do this kind of stuff a lot.
Second it’s easy enough to ‘solve’ both of the above, although it will take 4 to 8 man hours (calendar hours would depend on how much ‘stuff’ you have to tarball). Here’s references:
How to install new MX and not trash your existing TDE user. https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=815153#p815153
Win11 can be run in a Oracle VM. https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/post/install-microsoft-windows-11-on...
Window’s partitions can be moved to VMs. (Google search)
Or, if you want a new Win11 key it’s ~$10. https://www.gamers-outlet.net/en/buy-windows-11-pro-cd-key-oem-microsoft-glo...
Probably won’t solve all your problems, but should be pointers in the right direction.
Best, Michael
