Question "This PC can't run Windows 11"

[zbaracki]

all modern CPUs have built-in Firmware TPM (fTPM), by default it's disabled, but quick browse through bios and you'll find it.
Other requirements - boot drive must be in GPT format and not mbr. mbr2gpt command built into windows allows for easy conversion.
CSM mode has to be disabled in order to be able to enable secure boot.

well i'm out of the range. xD

another thing to note is by default, fTPM is 2.0, and on intel it is labeled as PTT, not sure why but ok

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)

well, bad news Microsoft just announced that it will only support Intel 8th generation and above processor line up.

well, we are in XDA so wait till any work around is there

yes also if you are Intel user then gen 8 and above will only be supported
and for amd processors 3000 series and above i.e processors from 2019 and above.

this is weird but i saw this on gary explains video on YouTube and also on LTT video.

 

[zbaracki]

my ryzen 2700x was recognised as compatible and went with the update smoothly without any trickery.
No idea why it would require 3000+, it's same zen2 architecture with just minor tweaks.

To run Windows 11 on old hardware, you need to copy all the files from the Sources folder from the Windows 10 ISO except for "install.wim" or "install.esd" to the Sources folder of the Windows 11 ISO.

Not all CPUs are compatible with that, and not all the manufacturers give the option to enable TPM. Lets bypass it, shall we? Create a new txt file anywhere on your pc and open it. After that, add the following lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig] “BypassTPMCheck”=dword:00000001 “BypassSecureBootCheck”=dword:00000001

Save the file, and then rename it, just remove the "txt" and replace it with "reg". Open the file and BOOM. The setup should work.

I have Asus M4A78T-E motherboard with AM3 processor support. Using AMD athlon 64 X2 6000 3.00 GHz processor. Did not see support for the processor on Windows 11 CPU compatibility list. Also did not find TPM feature in my bios under advanced or security. Just password settings. Is there a work around for CPU compatibility too? Please explain what I need to do to get Windows 11 on my PC.

I pre-copied the registry entries that others posted to note pad as a text doc....I found a good download of the windows 11 build from Android File Host... I created a usb boot disk using refus...I mounted the newly made usb in windows 10...added my new text doc to usb...I booted bios and made sure I was set up for flash drive boot install...i booted windows 11 iso from usb flash...I got the my hardware system incompatible error.... hold shift and f10 to open command prompt... type notepad... notepad opens and chose file from heading and it opens widows file manager...navigate to your flash drive and click on the new text doc made earler...open and save as newcopy change the file extension from .txt to .reg...open the .reg fle you just made and a pop up window updates registry ..click on the still open installer window and hit back button.. it will restart install process... I have a 2012 dell opti desktop with 2nd gen i5 and 8g ram...i have no issues and it runs faster than windows 10 pro...every time i boot i have to manually enable widows security which is only difference...

That's not correct, I received 11 as an update on my HP with a 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processor

 

[alansworld2010@gmail]

This worked for me....I have an old optiplex 790 with a Intel i5 4 series....all I did was change the registry through the BIOS on the front en 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...

I think that by "support" they mean that they won't work on bugs that are experienced by older systems. If you look here you will see that they warn users not meeting the hardware requirement that their installation "may result in a degraded experience & some features may not work properly" : https://blogs.windows.com/windows-i...ing-for-insider-preview-builds-of-windows-11/. They don't actually say that it won't work at all.

I just told you what you need to do. This bypass "doesn't care" what your pc has, and "doesn't care" if you have TPM enabled or not. All you need to do is to follow my instructions, and you will be able to bypass the issue with TPM:
Create a new txt file anywhere on your pc and open it. After that, add the following lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig] “BypassTPMCheck”=dword:00000001 “BypassSecureBootCheck”=dword:00000001

When you finish, you start the setup of windows 11, and you won't get an error.

yes after researching a bit i also come to same conclusion. thanks for info.

What i mean is only edit registry when you run Windows 11 installer (without change any file from windows 11 bootable image), and i just try it and succes, so the conclusion is we don't need any modified bootable Windows 11, everyone can run it easily.

So far there is no issue on my laptop, but i make it 2nd bootable (dual boot) just to try Windows 11 and all my current Driver, i'd like it more than Windows 10, the only problem that i facing is microsoft project 2019 and visio 2019 didn't appear on the list app, other Office work fine.

Yup. Then you get this stuff, haha. "This PC can't..." Like hell it can't! It is!
TPM 1.2, secure boot disabled and a 6th gen i5.

*Also, installed alongside macOS opencore 7.0 without issues. Just deleted the win10 partition and it was the same procedure/results as win10 is... for now, anyway.

 

[mindlery]

Yes. I did it pretty much the same but unpacked/repacked install.wim, and renamed to install.esd with just the target version.
TPM 1.2 I never enabled secure boot and it's a 6th gen. Windows update is being a sore loser.
You may need to edit the registry after. Lookin' around myself.

Thank you, @alansworld2010@gmail and @GiulianoB!

I now have Windows 11 Preview running on a ~2016 model Dell Inspiron laptop with no TPM (and no option to add one; motherboard isn't capable of it).

I downloaded the ISO from Android File Host, burned it to a USB stick, booted from the stick, and when the install process said the device isn't suitable, used Shift-F10 to open a command prompt.

I ended up running regedit and making the registry changes manually, because the .reg file approach didn't work for me - the install still said the machine wasn't suitable. When I then ran regedit, I found that the keys hadn't been added.

Opening the .reg file had popped up the usual warning and seemed to go make the changes when I said OK.

So my advice to others: if running the .reg file doesn't make it accept the device, try manually editing the registry.

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?

Or go for custom iso, I've tested it on i7 4th gen, 860m gtx, 12Gb notebook from 2015
