Microsoft has updated their “Ways to Install Windows 11” support page with the following instructions on how to install Windows 11 on a computer without TPM 2.0 support. However, Microsoft makes the disclaimer that they do not recommend doing this. (But honestly, since when did anyone who knows how to edit registry keys listen to a warning to not edit registry keys?)
Below it taken from: Ways to install Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
- Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements, and you acknowledge and understand the risks, you can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.
- Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
- Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
- Type: REG_DWORD
- Value: 1
- Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
