Situatie
If you just have a regular Windows 11 install disk or ISO, you can bypass the Windows TPM and RAM requirements by making some registry changes during the install. Note that this method only works on a clean install and does not allow you to bypass the requirement for at least a dual-core CPU.
2. Hit SHIFT + F10 to launch the command prompt
3. Type regedit and hit Enter to launch registry editor
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
5. Create a new registry key under Setup and name it LabConfig. To create a registry key, right click in the right window pane and select New->Key. Then enter the key name
6. Within LabConfig, create DWORDs values called BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck and set each to 1. To create a new DWORD value, right click in the right window and select new DWORD (32-bit) Value then name the key, double click to open it and set it to 1.
If you also want to bypass the RAM requirement, add a DWORD values for BypassRAMCheck
7. Close regedit and the command prompt
You should be able to continue with your Windows 11 installation as normal
How to Bypass Windows 11’s TPM Requirement using Rufus
With Rufus, a free utility, you can create a Windows 11 install disk on a USB Flash drive with settings that disable the TPM, RAM and CPU requirements. You can either boot off of this USB Flash drive to do a clean Windows 11 install or run the setup file off of the drive from within Windows 10 to do an in-place upgrade.
For most people, this method is ideal, but there are a couple of disadvantages. First, it requires a 16GB or larger USB Flash drive. Second, because it’s on a Flash drive, it’s more difficult to use for installing Windows 11 on a virtual machine where an ISO file would be ideal.
1. Download the latest version of Rufus and install it on your machine. At the time of writing the latest version is 3.19 which includes the Extended Windows 11 Image support.
2. Insert a blank 16GB or larger USB stick then open Rufus
3. Select the USB device that you want to install Windows 11 to
4. Ensure that Boot Selection shows “Disk or ISO image” and click DOWNLOAD
5. Select Windows 11 and click Continue
6. Select the latest release and click Continue
7. Select the edition and click Continue
8. Select your preferred language and click Continue
9. Select the architecture (most likely x64) and click Download. A new window will open asking where to save the ISO image. Save it to your Downloads folder. You can also download the image using a browser if you wish.
The download will take several minutes to complete.
10. Click on the Image option drop down and select Extended Windows 11 Installation to disable TPM, Secure Boot and the 8GB of RAM requirement.
11. Double check that the correct drive has been selected and click on Start to begin the installation.
The write process can take some time, depending on the USB drive being used, but when done the drive can be removed and used to install Windows 11 on an older computer or even in a virtual machine.
12. Install or upgrade to Windows 11. Run setup on the USB drive, if you ware doing an in-place install from an existing Windows 10 installation. Boot off of the drive if you are doing a clean install. Note that you may need to disable secure boot in your BIOS if it gives you a problem.
How to Bypass Windows 11 TPM Check from Windows Update
If you want to use Windows Update rather than creating an install disk, you’ll need a method that runs in Windows and fools the updater into thinking you meet the requirements. This may be more important if you are trying to use Windows Update to upgrade to a new build of Windows 11, perhaps an Insider Build, on a computer that already bypassed the requirement.
For example, when we joined the Windows Insider program on one of our Windows 11 VMs (which clearly did not have TPM), we got the dreaded “Your PC doesn’t meet the requirements” error. But using AveYo’s Media Creation Tool workaround script solved the problem. Here’s how to make it happen.
1. Navigate to the Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd source code on AveYo’s Media Creation Tool Github
2. Click the “Copy raw contents” button in the upper right corner of the code box
3. Create a new file on your desktop and name it skip_tpm_check.cmd. Make sure that you are able to view file extensions and the file extension is really .cmd, not .txt or else it won’t run
4. Open skip_tpm.cmd for editing, using notepad or another text editor
5. Paste in the code you copied from github
6. Save and run the skip_tpm.cmd file
7. Click Yes if prompted by User Account Control
You will now see a message saying “Skip TPM on Dynamic Update” has been installed. If you run the program again, it will disable the utility. Windows Update should now be able to either update your existing Windows 11 Build or even perhaps upgrade you from Windows 10 to 11.
How to Bypass Windows 11 TPM the Official Microsoft way
Knowing that some users will want to install Windows 11 on systems that don’t meet all of its hardware requirements, Microsoft has provided a registry hack that loosens them up somewhat. Using this hack, you can install on a system that has at least TPM 1.2 and has an unsupported CPU. That said, we recommend the scripts above because they don’t require you to have TPM of any kind.
1. Open Regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
3. Create a DWORD (32-bit) Value called AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU if it doesn’t already exist
4. Set AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU to 1
5. Close regedit and restart your PC. You should now be able to upgrade to Windows 11 from within Windows 10 by using installation media (provided you created it).
