Area 51 R2 or R5 motherboard swap Install AWCC in Windows 11
Despite success of installing AWCC on some non-Dell motherboard, some of the BIOS simply does not allow edit of DMI to trick Windows 11 into approving AWCC install.
two work arounds:
use the old BIOS registry trick
or use a compatible motherboard to install Win 11 and AWCC then swap the board after install.
I tried the second way using ssd. Win 11 adjusts very fast after motherboard swap. two of the boards I tested are HP prebuilt mATX. both work smoothly with AWCC previously installed on Gigabyte or Dell XPS motherboards.

for users who plan on upgrading mobo in R2 or R5 in the future, I suggest create a system image of clean Win 11 install and AWCC install, then save the image on an external HDD. after mobo swap, restore the system image on the new board.
