How can I bypass Windows 11 system requirement?

[howie369]

Have you ever encountered a situation where the Windows 11 system requirements are not met? I recently wanted to upgrade to Windows 11, but it prompted me that my computer did not meet the minimum system requirements, especially TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, which my device does not support at all. This is a bit of a headache for me, because I don't want to wait any longer and want to experience Windows 11 as soon as possible. Is there any way to bypass Windows 11 system requirements and force the installation of Windows 11? I hope everyone can share their successful experience or solution!

yes, plenty of ways to do it.

the installation media needs to be on something writeable e.g. usb stick. Cant be done if it is inside an iso

simplest way :ar: View attachment serverflagv2.zip

run the .cmd file and it will ask you to browse to the install.wim ( or install.esd)



then you can select to process just one image ( edition) or all images.

type * and press enter

thats it

Microsoft is now saying it will allow W11 to be installed on "unsupported" computers. However, it notes that updates will not work, and in general it will be an inferior experience with no support from them, etc. etc. etc.

I'm still not interested.

According to the users on elevenforums, unsupported pc have been getting regular updates. However they aren't offered upgrade to new build through window update. e.g going from 23h2 to 24h2.

That article is a poor piece of journalism that has jumped to an erroneous conclusion, MS has always allowed unsupported installs.

Nothing new here. The PC World article says: "Microsoft doesn’t explain the actual “upgrading to Windows 11” steps in the document, but we assume it’s done via the Windows Update app and the PC Health Check app". It seems that the author has only just picked up on the MS disclaimer and jumped to the conclusion that MS has recently had a change of heart. That is not the case, that disclaimer has been around since the launch of Windows 11 in October 2021.

....The only recent change is that, having used a workaround to bypass the hardware checks, the 24H2 install media now displays that disclaimer. Setup for 23H2 or earlier never did.

Yes, I'm one of those Eleven Forum members. I have had Windows 11 running on an unsupported 1st gen i5 since October 2021. Windows Update got all the same updates as any supported device. The only things it didn't get offered by Windows Update were any of the feature updates to the next version. For that a manual upgrade with an ISO and a workaround had to be used. It's now on 24H2.

There are many ways to skin a cat, I've not come across that one before. Your link is broken, this is a better one: SYSCute WinBootMate - Install Windows 11 without TPM and Secure Boot

Many use Rufus to do the same thing....

.... but I prefer to make the registry mods myself, allowing me to use an unmodified install usb as made by Microsoft's MCT.
