How to Bypass TPM 2.0 Requirement to Install Windows 11

This practical guide walks through how to bypass TPM 2.0 requirement to install Windows 11, explains the main requirements, and highlights common issues that may appear along the way.

However, recently Microsoft itself has revealed a way to 'break through', to upgrade Windows 10 machines to Windows 11 without fully meeting TPM 2.0 requirements. You will still need support for TPM 1.2, but that should be enough for a lot of machines to upgrade.

As outlined by Microsoft on the company's support page, you need to make sure that you have TPM 1.2 enabled in the BIOS. The easiest way to check if the feature is enabled is to press Win + r and type tpm.msc. The version of TPM you have is also displayed in the bottom right corner. If it's not enabled, you'll need to go into the BIOS and turn it on.

The modification is also straightforward. Just press Win + r and type regedit.

Go to the Registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/Setup/MoSetup

then right click in the window and select create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with the name AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU and set its value to 1.

With this tweak, you can already install Windows 11 if the other minimum hardware is met:

• Processor: 64-bit 2 cores 1 GHz or higher
• 4 GB RAM
• Capacity: 64 GB
• UEFI System Firmware and Enable Secure Boot

However, if it's not urgent, you don't need to upgrade to Windows 11 right away. Although Windows 11 has some compelling features, like any new operating system, there are always bugs and problems during the new release period, so you should consider installing after everything is stable. than.
