Windows 11 is blocked from installing on many PCs by its minimum system requirements. Fortunately, these can be bypassed; allowing you to install Windows 11 with an unsupported processor or without a TPM.
Doing so does incur some risk. In this video I show you how to bypass the restrictions and install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, as well as what features you'll be giving up and the security risks you might be exposing yourself to (including a brief overview of virtualisation-based security and secure boot).
Here's how to bypass the dreaded "This PC Doesn't Currently Meet the Minimum System Requirements to Run Windows 11" message!

I'd support them telling manufacturers that any new Windows 11 PCs need to have a TPM. Personally, I haven't bought/built one without a TPM for years. It's trying to force existing hardware into the scrapheap where it crosses the line for me. It's good to have a TPM, but it doesn't actually need one, and it feels like this is less in the consumer's best interests than those who benefit from people buying new PCs (with new Windows licenses).

Thank you very much for your insights on Windows 11. My laptop is in any case way too old to be doing this upgrade. Even if I could have overridden my system"s settings, I would not want to play russian roulette with the security aspect of the system. In May 2020, I upgraded to an SSD and performed a factory reset installation and have original Windows 8 copy running on the system with all updates deactivated and a reputable complete Antivirus to keep the system safe. I kept the other HDD with the Windows 10 version 1909 copy in storage for over two years and decided to swop this back yesterday. Immediately updates commenced and automatically bypassed older versions of Windows 10 (the ones after 1909) and downloaded the most current version of 21H2. I am happy with the system as it is now. Bear in mind, I have an i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and 2.5GHz processor speed and this is dated at nine years now. So, honestly, I do not think I should take a chance with Windows 11 and place my laptop at a high security risk.

does this installation method require a usb drive or you just install it on the computer like that? Are there any data losses?
@ProTechShow
@ProTechShow 8 місяців тому
There are two methods shown in the video. One is an in-place upgrade from within Windows (this works with an older CPU/TPM), the other is a clean install from USB (required if you don't have a TPM at all). The former keeps your data, the latter requires you to wipe the drive. In either case, always make a backup first. Nothing is ever guaranteed to go smoothly.

@ProTechShow
@ProTechShow Рік тому
Replying to the original question about whether Microsoft will allow updated later: from what I've seen the answer is that the Windows 11 feature updates are the same story as a Win10-11 upgrade. You won't get it offered via Windows Update. The same workarounds in this video will let you install the update manually. If you did an in-place upgrade with an old TPM and have the registry entry in place, all you need to do is download the ISO and run the update from within Windows. If you had to reinstall from scratch in order to upgrade (e.g. you have no TPM) then you'll probably need to install each feature update the same way (reinstalling by booting from USB and adding the registry entry in the installer).

There's a section in the video about the risk, starting at 6:12. Short version: as long as you're installing security updates you're not at any increased risk from hackers.

The registry edits are for passing artificial checks in the Windows 11 installer. Once installed, you don't need any of them to run it. It's more likely that your older machine is set to (or only supports) legacy BIOS mode, whereas Windows 11 requires UEFI. Check the BIOS settings to see if there's an option to enable UEFI.

If you install Windows 11 on a machine that meets all of their requirements you can take the drive out, plug it into one that doesn't meet these artificial requirements (e.g. one that doesn't have a TPM), and it will boot just fine as long as the hardware is actually compatible with your installation. I suspect you have some other incompatibility between old and new computers. If it's not BIOS/UEFI, perhaps it's a driver conflict. Perhaps your SATA mode is set differently on the two machines. It's impossible to say. Perhaps the hardware is just too different?

I don't think it has anything to do with the hardware being too different because I've run the same drive on a few different computers that are equally or even more different than the PC that I installed it on. Whenever this one PC tries to run windows, it gets to the windows boot screen and the loading icon goes around half a turn then freezes, and then the computer locks up. It's only a Z97 machine, it's not THAT old. I've run it on a machine with just a J2900 and it ran fine with even that. I'll check the bios settings again just to be sure it's all correct.

@ProTechShow 11 місяців тому
From what I've seen the answer is that the Windows 11 feature updates are the same story as a Win10-11 upgrade. You won't get it offered via Windows Update. The same workarounds in this video will let you install the update manually. If you did an in-place upgrade with an old TPM and have the registry entry in place, all you need to do is download the ISO and run the update from within Windows. If you had to reinstall from scratch in order to upgrade (e.g. you have no TPM) then you'll probably need to install each feature update the same way (reinstalling by booting from USB and adding the registry entry in the installer).

There are probably other compatibility issues affecting the laptop other than the CPU. TPM or secure boot settings, perhaps? Seeing as you have both and they're the same brand it might be worth comparing their BIOS settings to see if you can spot a difference.

You can use the steps in 9:11 (Upgrading with an older CPU/TPM) to do an in-place upgrade with an older processor. If you're doing a clean install there was a registry value BypassCPUCheck at one point but you shouldn't actually need it because it doesn't check the CPU during a clean install.

From what I've seen: - Standard updates will install just fine - Version upgrades (e.g. 22H1 to 22H2) will not be offered to you automatically - If you were able to do an in-place upgrade from Windows 10, you'll also be able to download the latest Windows 11 ISO and do an in-place version upgrade in Windows - If you were only able to upgrade from Windows 10 by wiping and booting from installation media, then that will be the only way to install version upgrades (a reinstall)

can this work with windows 10 32bit?
@ProTechShow
@ProTechShow 2 роки тому
You can't do an in-place upgrade because there is no 32-bit version of Windows 11 for you to upgrade to. You can do a fresh install using these methods, asumming your hardware is 64-bit capable, but if you've been running a 32-bit OS you probably ought to consider a hardware upgrade. Consumer CPUs moved to 64-bit around 20 years ago so there's a good chance your hardware is quite dated. Even if it's not too old and is 64-bit capable, 32-bit Windows couldn't use more than 4GB of RAM outside of servers and I don't think 4GB will give a great experience on Windows 11 so that could be a limiting factor for you.

Those rules are stupid. I have a PC with TPM and not to old i5. When I did try to turn on TPM in the bios the damn PC did stop booting. So I was easier to mod the windows install and bypass everything 🤔 I guess most of people's that are not good on PC stuff will just ignore windows 11 cause they simply will not even try. To do it the right way you need to clean the disk and install windows 11 with the new bios settings? Or is it another way?
@ProTechShow
@ProTechShow Рік тому
You shouldn't need to wipe your drive. I would guess that when you enabled the TPM you also changed some other settings - perhaps you installed in legacy BIOS mode and to enable the TPM it changed to UEFI mode? The boot process for UEFI and legacy BIOS is different so if that's what happened your install is likely fine but your UEFI doesn't know how to use it. UEFI also requires the disk to be partitioned as GPT whereas an install in legacy BIOS mode might have been using MBR. If you're moving from BIOS/MBR to UEFI/GPT it is possible to convert in-place, but it's a bit complicated. This link seems to cover it, with the disclaimer that any mistakes could put your data at risk so it's always a good idea to make a backup first. answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/convert-an-existing-windows-10-installation-from/aa8c2de3-460b-4a8c-b30b-641405f800d7

Because technology enthusiasts are enthusiastic about trying new technology? That's not to say newer is always better, but if anyone's going to upgrade just for the sake of it, it will be the enthusiasts. The average computer-user is unlikely to care. For example: I don't like many of the UI changes (or the slow but steady transition into an advertising platform) and I don't run it on my main PC, but I do run it on my laptop because like it or not if we don't stay up-to-date with current tech then our skills become obsolete quite quickly.

Okay, found another video, all you have to do with Windows 11 and a Gigabyte Bios, is get into the Bios and change the settings. TPM is in the Settings, miscellaneous, "Advanced" and there's something called "AMD CPU TPM" and it'll say "disabled". Enable it and you have TPM installed. Restart your computer, the SRMN message will be gone...hopefully.
@ProTechShow
@ProTechShow Рік тому
That's the fTPM feature you've found, covered in section 7:41 - You might have a hidden TPM.

That, or someone manually disabled it; but my money's on you getting an older one.

@ProTechShow
@ProTechShow 10 місяців тому
All drive capacities look like a scam when you compare the advertised capacity to the capacity reported on your computer. Firstly, the usable capacity will be smaller than the raw capacity once it's been formatted with a filesystem. Secondly, computers and manufacturers measure gigabytes differently. A computer actually measures gibibytes (note the B) because it counts in binary. A manufacturer will say 1 GB = 1000 MB because it's in keeping with the metric standard and makes their product look bigger. A computer will say 1 GB = 1024 MB because it's a power of 2 and easier to count in binary. You can do a fresh install of Windows 11 on less than 64 GB, but you probably can't do an in-place upgrade. I installed it on this and it only has 32 GB. It fits, but only barely. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/eniZnKuvnYxhxKM.html
