My Intel 11th gen CPU/motherboard bios setting requires setting "Secure Boot" = "Disabled", otherwise Windows Update will attempt to upgrade from Win10.22H2 to Win11. Even though InControl is set to dis-allow such system upgrades. Current Win10 build number = 19045.5737: Windows Insider - Release Preview. Seems like the "Secure Boot" bios setting shouldn't affect the ability for InControl to block upgrading to Win11, but it's latest build number (1.02) fails to provide that safeguard. Perhaps more product testing would be necessary, to ensure that every (Win10) Windows Insider setting is still able to block upgrades to Win11 ?

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
