Overview
This image pairs the current Professional platform with the perpetual 2019 office suite so a workstation is finished at first login rather than after a second afternoon of installers. It is aimed at the person who rebuilds machines for other people, where the difference between one image and two installs multiplies across every machine on the bench.
The most practical modification is the removal of the platform hardware checks. The stock installer refuses to proceed without a compatible trusted platform module, secure boot and a processor from an approved generation list, which rules out an enormous number of machines that are otherwise perfectly capable. Those checks are bypassed in this image, so an older desktop or laptop installs and updates normally instead of being told it is not supported.
The Professional feature set is intact. BitLocker with several unlock methods, Hyper-V for local virtual machines, Remote Desktop as a host, local Group Policy, domain join, Windows Sandbox, and the update deferral controls. The modern shell is here too, with snap layouts and groups, virtual desktops, the redesigned settings surface and the window management improvements that are the actual day to day reason to move platform generation.
The office half is the perpetual 2019 Professional Plus configuration, meaning Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and OneNote, installed and licensed without a subscription or a periodic check in. Both the platform and the suite are multilingual, with the display language chosen during setup and changeable afterwards from settings without a reinstall.

Installation Notes
- Back up before touching partitions. A clean install removes everything on the target volume.
- On machines without a trusted platform module, leave BitLocker off or set a password unlock method, since there is no chip to hold the key.
- Disconnect other drives during setup so the boot loader lands on the disk you intend to boot from.
Before You Start
Read the notes above before running setup. Most of the problems people write in about are covered there, and almost all of them come down to an older version of the same software still being installed, a graphics driver that predates the release, or a security suite quarantining part of the package mid install.
There is no archive password on this or any other entry in the library. If something you downloaded elsewhere claims to come from here and asks for one, it did not come from here. Nothing on this site is behind a survey, a shortener or a countdown either.
If the entry does not match what the page describes, say so on the contact page and include the version string from the release details table. Reports naming a specific version get checked first because the checker can reproduce them straight away.
Frequently Asked
That is the point of this image. The compatibility checks are removed, so machines that the stock installer refuses will proceed normally.
Yes. Quality and feature updates install as usual and the bypass survives them.
Yes, deselect it during setup and you are left with a plain Professional install.
