Installation and Upgrade Bypass Windows 11 System Requirements on Unsupported PC


Windows_11_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to bypass the Windows 11 CPU, RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 system requirements allowing you to clean install or upgrade to Windows 11 on a unsupported PC that doesn't meet these requirements.

Installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet Windows 11 minimum system requirements is not recommended. If you choose to install Windows 11 on ineligible hardware, you should be comfortable assuming the risk of running into compatibility issues.

If you like, you can bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that helps you with actions such as generating, storing, and limiting the use of cryptographic keys.

A processor or central processing unit (CPU), is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

Windows 11 minimum system requirements:

Processor1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
RAM4 gigabyte (GB).
Storage64 GB or larger storage device Note: See below under “More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date” for more details.
System firmwareUEFI, Secure Boot capable. Check here for information on how your PC might be able to meet this requirement.
TPMTrusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. Check here for instructions on how your PC might be enabled to meet this requirement.
Graphics cardCompatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver or higher.
DisplayHigh definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel.

Your device might malfunction due to these compatibility or other issues. Devices that do not meet these system requirements will no longer be guaranteed to receive updates, including but not limited to security updates.

The following disclaimer applies if you install Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements:

This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for running Windows 11 - these requirements help ensure a more reliable and higher quality experience. Installing Windows 11 on this PC is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive updates. Damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility aren't covered under the manufacturer warranty. By selecting Accept, you are acknowledging that you read and understand this statement.

Before you install Windows 11
If you are unsure if your device meets the Windows 11 minimum system requirements and have Windows 10 already installed, you can download the PC Health Check app, which will assess eligibility and identify components of your device that don't meet the minimum requirements. The app will also link to info that details steps you can take to make your device meet the minimum system requirements.

After you install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware
When Windows 11 is installed on a device that does not meet the minimum system requirements, Windows will notify you using a watermark on your Windows 11 desktop. You might also see a notification in Settings to let you know the requirements are not met.

If you're experiencing issues after upgrading to Windows 11 and your device does not meet the minimum system requirements, Microsoft recommends you go back to Windows 10. This option is only available for 10 days following your upgrade, after which time the files needed to perform this function will be removed to free up disk space on your device.

C'mon folks

How difficult is it to type dism /ApplyImage with an install iso / usb device.

Then after that install the bootloader :

from macrium stand alone device, winpe device or a booted windows system command line - or even the install iso ( in that case-- go to "repair system" and select command line).

bcdboot q:\windows /s :S /f UEFI where q is the windows disk you installed windows on and S is the letter of the EFI partition.

All 100% bog standard windows. This method doesn't check CPU, TPM etc and works every time. You don't need to have secure boot either for this method.

You can even install to MBR disks (note though max nr of partitions =4 on any one disk, or bootable on both EFI and MBR).

No need to fiddle around with registry, copy / delete dll's fiddle around with the install.wim etc etc. Just use the bog standard install media "untouched by human hand".

That's an acceptable point -- however one can only become experienced with trying and using new things - especially if they are on the forum and the method is simple to follow.

Some of the far more convoluted stuff especially with hideous background music and inaudible / un - understandable voice explaining "simple things " on You-Tube seems to gather far more people than 2 or 3 simple instructions rather like the 1), 2), 3) in a typical method in a cookery book. !!

As they say "Work Smarter -- Not Harder".

Hi,

Running the Windows 11 installer via iso image directly within Win 10 gives me a tpm 2.0 error. How do I disable tpm check on the installer directly? Or do I have to burn the iso to usb and reboot into the usb installer and open cmd window and drop the reg hacks?

Thanks

Hello David, :alien:

You should be able to merge the bypass REG in W10, then run the W11 setup from the ISO within W10 to upgrade.

If that doesn't work for you, then you could try using what's in the TIP box under step 6 in the tutorial below.

Use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive from the appropriate .ISO and when it starts to run, you can configure it to 'by-pass' the MS checks.

Hi folks. I just did an in place upgrade install from Win 10 to Windows 11 Pro. I'm running an EVGA X99 FTW K with a Broadwell-E 6850K. I have no TPM at all. All I did was, create the reg file to bypass all the checks as posted in this thread in a prior post, then run the setup from a USB from a command window using in my case H: setup /product server. When it starts to run set up, it does says it is installing the server version but the actual install when you accept the EULA shows it, in my case as Windows 11 Pro. It worked flawless. The only real issue I had was some broken links to programs I had pinned to the taskbar. It's now fully updated with 23H2. It didn't even wreck my Flight Sim 2020 install which is notoriously finicky. I did the upgrade mostly because I have a LG C2 and not being able to properly calibrate HDR was annoying. The Windows app in the Windows Store to calibrate HDR in Windows 11 works pretty well.

Hi,

About to install Windows 11 upgrade on my unsupported laptop I treated with those registry tweaks. Anyhow the installer wants me to acknowledge that the pc is not supported and will not get updates. If I press accept it will continue to install.

So if I install no updates for me??

Thanks

Bypassing Windows 11 hardware requirements, revisited

As I stated previously, bypassing the Windows 11 hardware requirements can be done, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. And I stand by that. But based on a couple of Twitter threads…

I have a question about this...

I was aware of the DiskCheck and StorageCheck. I left them in some of my posts because I simply didn't want to have to explain why what I had differed from the tutorial, but the one I have an issue with is the CPUCheck. I use that on systems that have pre-gen 8 CPUs and it allows me to install on those systems so this entry seems to work just fine. Maybe it does not bypass the check for a minimum of 2 cores etc. but it sure does seem to remove the gen 8 or newer restriction.

EDIT: In my own personal unattended answer files, I have long ago removed both the DiskCheck and StorageCheck entries, but I can tell you for a fact that if I remove the CPUCheck entry it will cause installation failure on some of my systems. In fact, I'm going to try it right now.

The point is can you find BypassCPUCheck inside any of the Setup executables or DLL's? Some of these might have existed at one time in W11, but are they present in today's production code?

The exact rules for HW requirements are written in the appraiser.DLL (encoded in a machine form). That's why the old trick of deleting/zeroing the DLL worked, Setup would find no rules to invalidate the install.
