Hot Take Windows 11 system requirements (TPM/ CPU) can be bypassed via this single command

[CyberTech]

The Windows 11 system requirements have always been a bone of contention among enthusiasts and users alike as Microsoft deemed relatively new processors (at that time), like Intel's 7th gen (Kaby Lake) and AMD's first-gen Ryzen, as incompatible. These were fairly capable CPUs and would have easily been able to run Windows 11. However, these chips, and anything older, did not possess certain security features that the Redmond giant felt were crucial.

Aside from CPUs, TPM version 2.0 was also made mandatory. Again, Microsoft reasoned that such were the strict security characteristics Windows 11 brought.

Regardless, people have continued to use bypasses so as to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. Highly popular third-party utilities also started providing the service. First, it was Rufus which added the bypass as early as October of 2021 itself when the OS became generally available. Later on, it was expanded to include in-place upgrades as well, and even more soon after that.

After this, Ventoy joined in too as added options to bypass requirements. Although not as popular as these two, WinToUSB also added bypass support earlier this year. Interestingly, Microsoft too, made a registry bypass official, though with a fair amount of warning.

The rest

Windows 11 system requirements (TPM/ CPU) can be bypassed via this single command

There are quite a few ways to bypass the stringent system requirements of Windows 11 like those involving registry tweaks or using third-party tools. Recently, a new way to bypass has been discovered.

It will probably be faster than Windows 10 and should work fine. However, on unsupported hardware, new builds of Windows 11 need to be installed manually, e.g. with Media Creation Tool, as they are not available from Windows Update, although all other updates are. Why not create a backup and then try it? If you don't like you can rollback to Windows 10, or if that fails restore from the backup.

If you want to stick with Windows 10, it will still receive updates for two years.

Just make a bootable USB for WIndows 11 with Rufus and disable in Rufus the TPM check and other things you dont want.
Works perfectly.

A few days ago, a new report emerged about Windows 11 having slightly more than 400 million monthly active devices. Although it is significantly lower than what Windows 10 had achieved after its first two years, the result beat Microsoft's humble expectations. According to leaked data, Microsoft lowered its forecast primarily due to Windows 11's high CPU requirements and the need for a hardware or firmware Trusted Platform Module.

Steep hardware requirements cannot stop a true enthusiast from installing Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, but it looks like the list of available bypasses just lost one option.

Users recently discovered a new command that lets you skip the TPM requirement by "pretending" you are using a server edition. Windows 11 "thinks" you are about to set up a server edition, skips hardware checks, and proceeds to install your Home or Professional edition without limitations.

The rest

The recently discovered TPM bypass command no longer works in new Windows 11 preview builds

You can no longer bypass TPM requirements using the recently discovered setup.exe / product server command in Windows 11 build 25977. An attempt to use it results in the OS displaying a command error.

One-click Windows 11 system requirements bypass for TPM, CPU, uncovered for LTSC

Back in October 2023, we reported about a single command trick that allowed users to bypass the Windows 11 system requirements check during the setup process. While we only came across it in October, this trick had been doing the rounds from back in 2022 itself.

A similar trick has been discovered wherein a user will be able to bypass the system requirements, though this works on Windows 11 LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel). It's a one-click trick that works by choosing the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC option in the OS selection during setup.

One-click Windows 11 system requirements bypass for TPM, CPU, uncovered for LTSC

There are multiple ways to bypass the system requirements check (those for CPU, TPM, Secure Boot), on Windows 11. Now, a trick has been uncovered to do the same on Windows 11 LTSC too.

Will that trick be valid for the other language besides English is also applicatble for Windows 11 LTSC?
