Hi, welcome here. My name is Jens Depuydt, living in Belgium, and have a long-time passion for everything that has to do with technology and IT. I have had this interest for as long as I can remember and even as a small child I was already fascinated by everything that had in one or another way some electrical wires. The hands-on started with breaking stuff and eventually I managed to put things back together (most of the time). This passion and interest resulted in tech-related studies and job.
Since the “usual” stuff couldn’t keep me excited anymore, I developed an extra interest in platforms that are less common and especially the interaction/communication between them. Previously, I was working as a mainframe, IBM System z, consultant for z/OS, z/VM and Linux on z. Later, I worked as a pure Linux system engineer tied to one company. Since I was missing some diversity and challenges, I’m currently working with a tech giant, helping people and teams to support products that are complex and in incubation phase. I figured that my daily struggles with technology and all that has to do with that could be interesting to share with the world.
Next to all the tech related stuff, I actually do real-life “normal” stuff as well. I’m married, have two daughters and like to spend time with them and with my friends. Besides that, I love drinking, err.. tasting, beer, can appreciate a proper slow cooked BBQ, like to listen to music and to compensate all that goodness life has to offer, I try to hit the gym when I can.
In case you think I could be of any help to you or you can point me out some nice, new technology, feel free to write me a message :)

Dear Jensd,
your earlier video to upgrade from windows 10 to windows 11 on unsupported hardware is quite good but when I follow your method to fix empty security issue, then receive following message
0xc1900101-0x30018 error in first_boot phase during sysprep_specialize operation
can you please help to solve this issue.
Thanks and waiting your kind response
Hi Jens,
I have an iMac21,1 and I was tried install Win11 with you instructions “Install Windows 11 natively on Mac” but when I was tried to Restart with Option key pressed, it did not worked. Keep rebooting in iOS

thank you in advance
HI Jens
thank you for your very helpful blog
I spent a great time in Belgium a few years ago much enjoying tasting some of the fine beer!
I am trying to use your instructions to install monterey on my 5,1 mac but am running into some issues when I try to hold down the option key on power-up and and can not get to the boot selector screen. I think the issue is because I am using an RX580 graphics card
I would really love any help you can advise with this
Many thanks
Steve
Hello Jens,
My name is Victor, from Brooklyn, New York USA. Before I continue I would like to thank you for your videos which by far, in hindsight of my research and efforts in putting together my first computer, are without question are the best!!! I was in desperate need of a good computer but due to the pandemic my finances would…
And so I went looking through dumpsters and anywhere else you could imagine. Eventually I found a discarded Dell 9020 in the trash.
Your methods are commendable. Straight to the point, clear and concise.
I finally was able to narrow down why it wasn’t finding the Hard drive.
A $5.00 USD Cable was missing.
I have everything together now, it starts, but shuts off within seconds.
I’ll play around with it and maybe I’ll locate what may be causing the shutdown. However, at your convenience if you or anyone else that may read about my current issue and has a suggestion, it will be greatly appreciated.
Once again, thank you for it was through your videos that I currently have the extended knowledge of computers that I do.
Wish you and yours, and everyone prosperity and abundance
Hello, Jens) my name is Ksenia and im from Ukraine) thank you for your blog, I’ve been reading it for last year. i found it accidentally while was surfing how to solve my mac m1 issue about virtual windows) and i stayed here for a while ) next stem im going to try to set up win95 on mac m1 )))) it will be funny i guess).
Jens,
Thank you for your W11 install appraiserres,dll breakthrough. Using it with another method we have been able to upgrade 15 out of 16 newer and older HP/Dell workstations/laptops to W11 22H2. I term this a “hybrid” approach with your .dll contribution equally important to the larger github AveYo method components.
On the US HP workstation forum this is up to 970 views, and has been working well for others: Go to the middle of page 2 of this thread:
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Workstations-and-Point-of-Sale-Systems/W11-Upgrade-on-Z420-Z620-easy/td-p/8474253
With this October “Patch Tuesday” these installs all have received both W11 22H2 OS and security updates automatically. Thanks again…
Update: Now over 35 PCs, laptops, and workstations updated to W11 22H2, all of which are receiving the security and OS updates from Windows Update automatically. That process does not appear to check the hardware… it just sees what OS is present and offers the latest updates automatically based on that. Each of these computers is “unsupported” for W11, yet is working fine. I still have not been able to upgrade the HP Z440 workstation that is running a HP proprietary Z Turbo Drive fine under W10. That is a PCIe card with a NVMe M.2 stick in it serving as the boot drive.
I was able to follow your videos and guidance on your website to load Windows 98 SE onto my MacBook Pro. However, when I get to the park about installing the PCI Ethernet Card, Windows prompts me to load “choosusr.dll” and dozens of other files on the Windows CD-ROM, but they cannot be found even when the Windows CD ROM is in the virtual drive. I tried browsing different folders and directories but nothing loads. Then when the virtual machine restarts it crashes and needs to be re-installed. Please help. :-)
Hello Jensenstein! Great Tipps on Win11!
