Question "This PC can't run Windows 11"

[Xploit Machine]

no issue for me, my machine is not TPM certified and I use original ISO from Microsoft itself and install via RUFUS to bypass TPM checks ..

I have 2 PC's, both running Gigabyte motherboards and Windows 10. One is an AB350 with a 20 pin TPM header, the other is a newer B550 board with a 12 pin TPM header. I got a 3rd party manufactured 20 pin TPM board, it is recognized by the AB350 so I imagine it would allow it to upgrade to Win 11. I discovered the B550 board has the 12 pin TPM header so I just ordered the 12 pin board for it, so we'll see what happens when I enable the TPM security feature in BIOS. I have the CPU's TPM disabled in both boards' BIOS's.

OK I learned some new things while updating my PC upgraded with the B550 board (I got the 12 pin TPM card, it was recognized in BIOS). First, I didn't realize my SSD's boot loader was MBR and not GPT-- I learned that when I changed the BIOS to secure boot (after disabling CSM) and the PC would not boot Windows, only kept returning to BIOS directly. So the workaround to get my SSD boot loader to GPT was to change back to CSM temporarily, start Windows, use the recovery tool in update/security to boot into Command line, then use a tool "MBR2GPT". Used the /validate extension first to check that it had no errors, then reran the tool with the /convert extension to complete the change. Then went back to BIOS to re-disable CSM and re-enable secure booting, restarted Windows, then ran the PC Health Checkup tool to see if it is OK to install Windows 11-- finally, it did report it is Windows 11 ready.

Check if your system supports Secure Boot. Press Win Key + R.
Check if your PC supports UEFI mode. Restart your PC and press the F2/F10/Del key to enter your BIOS.
Enable UEFI Mode and Secure Boot. Enable UEFI Mode

Thank you thank you thank you I thought I was screwed too I've got an old optiplex 790 with a Intel i5 4 series and I just booted all I did was change the registry through the BIOS on the front end during the install which means I made the ISO file for USB UEFI boot I got the error saying that my machine hardware was not suitable for Windows 11 so I hit shift and F10 to command prompt and entered notepad because I already copied the registry into a text document that's accessible from the file menu in the notepad never done that before and that was pretty cool..copied it and then went back to the command prompt and went to the regedit.exe... copy what I had on the the text document into the actual local registry and then started the install process all over and Golden... I had to actually download the ISO file from Android host file of all places checksum good worked out everything's even better when I can beat the status quo

Hello, thank you so much for your development work

It sounds like you are encountering an error related to TPM (Trusted Platform Module). TPM is a hardware component that is built into some computers and is used to store cryptographic keys and measure the boot process to ensure that the system has not been tampered with.

If you believe that the error you are seeing may be related to TPM, there are a few things you can try:

1. Check your BIOS settings to see if TPM is enabled. You can usually access the BIOS settings by pressing a key (such as F2 or Del) when your computer first starts up. Look for an option related to TPM and make sure it is enabled.
2. Check to see if your computer has a TPM chip installed. Some computers come with a TPM chip, while others do not. If your computer does not have a TPM chip, you will not be able to use TPM features.
3. Make sure that your operating system is fully up to date. TPM functionality may require updates to your operating system in order to work correctly.
4. If you are still encountering issues after trying the above steps, you may want to try checking for updates to your BIOS or contacting the manufacturer of your computer for further assistance.

1: Create your own installation media

2: The steps necessary to remove the "Secure Boot" and "TPM 2.0" requirements error when attempting to install Windows 11

3: Obtain the newest available Windows 10 ISO from Micro$0ft;
Already have made your Windows 11 USB Installer using Rufus;

Mount Windows 10 ISO;

Find and locate the folder named Sources on the mounted ISO;

Copy all of the files in the Sources folder of the mounted ISO except for install.wim/install.esd;

Navigate to the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer that you have previously created in your File Manager;

Open the Sources folder on the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer;

Paste the previously copied contents/files from the Sources folder on the mounted Win 10 ISO to the Sources folder of the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer, and make sure to replace the files present in the Windows 11 USB Installer Sources folder;

Boot from Windows 11 USB Installer;
Profit from not having the requirements of Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 being enabled in place.

No doubt I have looked at that, it came up after it ran a check to see if I can upgrade but said my puter was not suitable to get Win 11.

Funny thing is I am formerly running Windows 11 so not sure how to explain that.

Im runnin 11 pro on a 7yr old laptop just fine

If you cannot install Win11 in a normal Way then try to install images that doesn't need to match the hardware needings

I have such modified Images, or you try to make a bootable USB Stick with the actual version of "Rufus" (I think 3.21 is the newest). It's a portable App that doesn't need to be installed, but you have to modify some settings in the App.

Rufus can modify the windows image for installing on a device that doesn't meet the windows hardware needing.

If you are in Austria, near Vienna, I can help you

I'm excited to try windows 11 but my machine is very old i7-4720 and don't have TPM 2.0, i know there is workaround, when i saw the UI and android app via amazon store will be available later, i'm very excited.

Is there anyone try windows 11 without TPM 2.0 with just modified registry in set up installer? (without replace dll or install.wim/esd)

I use it as my daily. Unsupported CPU, TPM disabled, Secure boot off, blah blah

 

[lukegonewild]

Tpm can be bypassed via rufus, which gives you the option to install an iso file on usb, remember that if your computer configuration is weak and windows 11 requires really good performance for optimal work and that it works without problems, that means it concerns the cpu and memory , I had an experience when I used 11 on a lower performance computer and I didn't like it, so without a doubt today for me Windows 10 is don't force the upgrades, it's a $$ thing.

I found windows 11 to be really good but it's not deal breaking or anything big. I enabled tpm, secure boot later on but it ran slow on Windows 10 (My HDD is the bottleneck) and it still runs slow with Windows 11.

like many, i am getting this error. i have a built PC with a Ryzen 7 2700X. I think there might be a BIOS setting to enable TPM, but I haven't checked yet. Anyone else run into this?

this is the link to the Windows 11 compatibility checker:

You can bypass the tpm request whenever you're trying to make your pen drive bootable. For this you can use rufus tool, it gives you an option to boot your usb without TPM. Select that and as well as must check your partition type, its MBR or GPT

I don't know if it has been mentioned beforehand in the thread but I personally suggest using this tool to identify exactly what requirements for W11 are not met.

You activate it in BIOS and it will be fixed

You can install it

 

[prateekkumar1]

You should be happy that you're eager to try Windows 11! Nevertheless, since your computer lacks TPM 2.0, installing it can provide some difficulties. Despite the fact that there exist workarounds, it's crucial to remember that they might not always be dependable or secure. Also, even though the UI and Android app compatibility through the Amazon store are intriguing aspects, they might need more powerful systems to function properly. To fully benefit from the new features and advantages of Windows 11, it might be worthwhile to upgrade your computer.

To fix this error, you should set the Boot Mode to UEFI and enable Secure Boot, and then make sure TPM 1.2/2.0 is enabled on your computer. Please note that the tab names may vary between manufacturers, but the instructions should translate roughly across hardware.

Check if your PC supports TPM:
Step1 – Press Win Key + R. Type tpm.msc in the dialog window, and hit Enter.
Step 2 – When the TPM utility pops up, check if the chip is in use.
If yes, you’ll see it under the Status section, marked as The TPM is ready to use.
Step 3 – The TPM Manufacturer Information section will provide you with information about the TPM version.
