How can I force to install Windows 11 on unsupported PC?
I recently tried to install Windows 11 on my old unsupported PC and ran into a tricky problem because my hardware doesn't meet the official system requirements. Despite running compatibility checks, ...
I also wanted to install Windows 11 on an old machine before, but was always stuck by the system requirements. Finally, I tried WinBootsMate, which really worked. It can help you bypass those annoying hardware checks and make the whole installation process much smoother.

Of course, running a new system on an old machine may have some minor problems, but if you are willing to give it a try like me, this tool is really worth a try. In short, back up your data and go for it with confidence!
The way you can bypass Windows 11's hardware checking by modifying the registry is a more technical approach that usually involves tweaking a few key registry entries to "trick" the installer into thinking your hardware is compliant.
The basic idea is to turn off or bypass Microsoft's hardware compatibility checks by adding or modifying specific registry keys before installing Windows 11. This includes, but is not limited to, processor, TPM (Trusted Platform Module), and secure boot checks.
- In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:
- Right-click on "MoSetup" and select "New" > "DWORD (32-bit) Value".
- Name the new value AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU.
- Double-click on the newly created value, set the numeric data to 1 and make sure the base is Hexadecimal.
5. Click OK to save the changes.
This method may not solve all hardware compatibility issues. For example, if your CPU or RAM is simply too old, the system may not perform well even if the installation is successful. To install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, I suggest you to upgrade youro hardware!
Worked for me, used this going from a windows 10 build to windows 11 and worked a treat! Thank you!
